In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1, players have several options for restoring their health and shield, unlike *Fortnite OG* which does not include healing items. A prime resource for this is the Mending Machine, a successor to the Vending Machine, offering essential heals. These machines are scarce, making their locations highly valuable. Here, we outline all the Mending Machine locations in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1.
Where To Find All the Mending Machines in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1

Mending Machines are a critical asset, especially as you progress through the game and your healing supplies dwindle. They offer a quick way to replenish your health and shield, which is essential in those clutch moments. Here are all the spots where you can find Mending Machines in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1:
- Inside the train station in Brutal Boxcars
- On the west side of the gas station north of Shining Span
- On the east side of the gas station in Burd
- In the buildings east of Warrior’s Watch
- On a staircase in Seaport City
You can spot these machines by looking for a specific icon on the map resembling the Mending Machine. Be cautious, as there's also a Weapon-o-Matic machine with the same icon, but it only offers weapons, not heals. One such Weapon-o-Matic can be found in Seaport City.
How To Use Mending Machines in Fortnite
When you reach a Mending Machine, you'll need to make some strategic choices. If your health is low, you can use the machine to fully restore it. Alternatively, if you're already healthy, you can stock up on Shield Potions and Med Kits. It's wise to gather these supplies as you never know when you'll need them, particularly during long-range battles where collecting enemy loot isn't an option.
Keep in mind that using the Mending Machine requires gold, the in-game currency. While *Fortnite*'s economy demands you pay for these items, gold is relatively easy to acquire.

How To Get Gold in Fortnite
If you're new to *Fortnite* Battle Royale or haven't played since the introduction of *LEGO Fortnite*, you might be unaware of how to collect gold. Each match offers numerous opportunities to gather gold across the map, which you can use to buy items, recruit NPCs, and more.
Gold is as plentiful as ammo in *Fortnite*, dropping from defeated players and found in Chests. While previous seasons featured vaults filled with gold and Rare Chests, these are absent in Chapter 6, Season 1. Therefore, you'll need to earn gold the traditional way: by eliminating opponents and looting their gold. Alternatively, you can open multiple Chests, though this method might be less thrilling.
