Here are the locations of malfunctioning vending machines in Fortnite chapter 3 season 1 in order to purchase a random item.
There’s a new set of weekly Fortnite challenges releasing today for chapter 3 season 1 week 6. We know what they are ahead of time as they were leaked in the v19.00 update. Usually, only two weeks of challenges are added and then leaked by data-miners.
However, this season, Epic Games added in more than six weeks of weekly challenges, all of which have already been leaked by data-miners. There are some changes that may happen to the challenges prior to release.
Either some of the challenges will change completely, or the parts of the challenge will change. For example, a leaked challenge stated players would need to hide in stealthy grass. When this challenge went live, it was changed to tall grass.
One of the week 6 challenges requires players to purchase a random item from a Malfunctioning Vending Machine in Fortnite. Here’s a guide on the best and fastest way to complete this challenge as some players may struggle with this one.
