Epic GamesFortnite Season 7 saw the arrival of a whole host of brand new content, weekly quests, and challenges. There’s tons of incredibly fun ones to get stuck into, and Week 1’s challenges saw players tasked by the iconic Rick Sanchez to go out on the hunt and interact with Mending Machines.
With the alien invasion of Fortnite Season 7 finally here, Epic has given us the option of doing everything from flying UFOs, decimating our opponents with new, alien-themed weapons, health-sapping Alien Parasites, and Cosmic Chests as players duel it out and level up. One of the brand new features in the season is Mending Machines, a variation of the previous vending machine item type we’ve seen in the past.

Epic GamesWhat are Mending Machines in Fortnite Season 7?
Mending Machines are the new name for Vending Machines in Fortnite Season 7. These machines, alongside Weapon-O-Matics, take materials collected across your game in exchange for incredibly helpful items such as weapons and consumables like shield potions and medkits. It’s a possibility that the weekly challenge from Rick Sanchez that tasks you with visiting one of these and purchasing a shield potion could return. Previously, this challenge rewarded you with a very decent 30,000 EXP.
How to use Mending Machines
To interact with these machines and claim your loot, all you need to do is:
- Approach the machine, and press the interact button ( PC – E / Xbox – X / PlayStation – Square).
- Select whichever item you want and left click on PC, press A on Xbox, or X on PlayStation.
- It’ll ask you to confirm your choice or go back. Select the item once more, and the item will be yours!
To purchase one of these shield potions, though, you’ll need to part with Gold Bars. You can get these easily by interacting with and completing tasks from NPCs. Nabbing yourself a small shield potion costs a reasonable 30 Gold Bars, and a steeper 120 for a large shield potion.

Most of the Mending Machines can be found at the main POIs in-game (Believer Beach, Catty Corner, Boney Burbs), but there are some that are slightly off of the beaten path to help you out in a pinch.
