How to purchase an item from an Outlaw Vending Machine in Fortnite

As you progress through your Outlaw Keycard quests in Fortnite, you’ll encounter an objective asking to purchase an item from an Outlaw Vending Machine. Where do you find these? How much do items cost? Are any of them worth it? That’s what we’re here to find out.

How to find an Outlaw Vending Machine in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

Outlaw vending machines mainly appear in Seaport City, Masked Meadows, and Crime City. Throughout these landmarks, you’ll find vending machine icons on your map, usually appearing alongside decorative machines. These three spots also have multiple vending machines, so you don’t have to worry about searching an entire city for one location.

Each vending machine usually has one of Fortnite’s outlaws’ names, such as Joss, Skillet, or Keisha Cross. If you see a name along the lines of “Joss’ Vending Machine,” you’ll know you’re in the right spot. They usually have a bright and colorful appearance, differentiating them from regular decorative items around the map.

Every vending machine offers two Thermite for 100 gold bars and a Plasma Burst Laser for 600 gold bars. The third and final item differs from each machine, but it’s usually an epic-quality gun like an AR, sniper rifle, or SMG. These weapons almost always cost 600 gold bars, so make sure to save up some money before visiting one. Even outside of quests, vending machines are helpful if you want to break into a vault and need Thermite or want a quick and easy weapon.

Getting enough gold for these items is pretty easy if you break into enough vaults, eliminate a few players, or open a bunch of treasure chests for loot. You can also break gold veins for some extra bars and the Gold Rush buff for a quick movement speed boost.
