Fortnite Vending Machine Locations, Where To Find Them

Vending machines have hit the Fortnite map, and you can exchange materials for weapons. They're scattered across the map, and here's where you can find them.

Fortnite Vending Machine Locations, Where To Find Them

Fortnite has chock full of content drops and updates lately. The guided missile came last week, the heavy shotgun the week before that, and this week we’re being introduced to vending machines. Scattered across the map in a similar way to chests, each vending machine has a different rarity and you can swap a number of each material for a piece of equipment, healing item or weapon. The spawns aren’t completely random, but it also isn’t guaranteed if there will be one at the spawn point each time; exactly how chests work, but there’s a lot less of them.

All known vending machine locations.

But where are they exactly? They’ve only been live for an hour or so, and people are still hunting them down, but on the map above you’ll see all the locations that we know of marked in red. We’ll continue to update this image as we and the community discover more, but for now, if you’re struggling to find one of these elusive economical entities, check the marked locations on the map and there’s a chance you’ll find one there.

The update earlier today also brought a brand new shooting mechanic with it; first shot accuracy. This means that as long as you’re standing still, haven’t fired your weapon recently, and are aimed down the sights, your gun will be 100% accurate with the first shot. It’s not quite a fix for the infuriating bloom, but it’s a good first step. Players can also now enjoy the High Explosives v2 limited time mode for the next week, which removes all non-explosive weapons and increases the rate materials will spawn from resources. It’s a perfect way to test out the new guided missile if you haven’t yet had a chance.

For the full patch notes from the latest update, check our post here. We also reported yesterday about some leaked information for the jetpack and upcoming quests; you can read more about that here. And as always, keep your eyes peeled for our guide to the next week of challenges shortly after they go live tomorrow.
