As players will see, they are going to be found in a variety of places. The Alien-centric locations such as the Abductors and the Mothership will be a more common location for them.

You have a better chance of finding Alien Nanites on the Mothership or Abducters but both of those are currently bugged and don't spawn ingame.. Epic are most likely aware of this and they're working on a fix!

These Alien Nanites can then be used to craft ultra-powerful Alien weaponry or be deployed to create a cube-shaped low gravity zone for players to bounce around throughout.

A bluish-purple cube surrounds the area where the Alien Nanite lands. This will allow Fortnite players to float in the area until time runs out. This then creates the aforementioned low gravity zone.

I feel like the Alien Nanites should've been re-usable, they are so fun but also rare..They should've made them create the field for 30 seconds, then expire and recharge again for 30 seconds!

Many feel they should be more common or even rechargeable since it seems like finding Alien Nanites in Fortnite thus far has been a difficult task. Of course, Epic Games made them rare for a reason.
