Mastering Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 1 Healing Mechanics: A Guide to Mending Machines
Unlike the Fortnite OG experience, which lacks dedicated healing options, Chapter 6, Season 1 offers various ways to replenish health and shields. One valuable resource is the Mending Machine, although these are scarce. This guide details all Mending Machine locations within Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1.
Mending Machine Locations in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1

The Mending Machine, an upgraded Vending Machine, provides health and shield restoration. Its strategic use is crucial, especially in late-game scenarios. However, their limited availability necessitates careful planning. Here's where to find them:
- Brutal Boxcars train station (inside)
- West side of the gas station north of Shining Span
- East side of the gas station in Burd
- Buildings east of Warrior’s Watch
- Staircase in Seaport City
These machines are identifiable by a small map icon resembling a vending machine. Note that the Weapon-o-Matic, another machine using the same icon but dispensing weapons, not heals, is also present; one is located in Seaport City.
Utilizing Mending Machines
Upon reaching a Mending Machine, you can fully restore health or acquire Shield Potions and Med Kits. Stockpiling these is advisable due to their unpredictable availability, particularly after long-range engagements.
Remember, using Mending Machines requires gold, Fortnite's in-game currency.
Acquiring Gold in Fortnite
Gold acquisition in Battle Royale is straightforward. It's found throughout the map, dropping from eliminated players and chests. While previous seasons featured gold vaults, these are absent in Chapter 6, Season 1. Therefore, eliminating opponents and looting chests remain the primary methods for obtaining gold.

Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
