Mending Machine locations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

Fortnite Mending Machine locations in Chapter 5 Season 2.
You can find Mending Machines at all of the above vending machine locations across the map.

You can find Mending Machines all around the Island in Fortnite, but the best plan of action is to head towards a gas station as these should always have some kind of vending machine next to them.

However, the vending machine that spawns at each location above has a random chance of being a Weapon-o-Matic that sells various weapons or a Mending Machine which sells healing items.

You can distinguish a Mending Machine from a Weapon-o-Matic because it will have a large plus symbol on the screen when you approach. It will then turn into a cute pink creature with hearts around it.
