With Fortnite Season 7 coming to an end, Dr. Slone is preparing to take down the Mothership and needs every available looper on hand for the task. She expects the fight to be fierce and in anticipation is giving players the task of gearing up with the latest tech available.

To sweeten the deal, the good doctor is even willing to reward players with 45,000 experience points if they manage to find and upgrade a weapon using Alien Nanites. The task at hand is relatively easy, and shouldn't be too difficult to complete.

Where to find Alien Nanites in Fortnite Season 7?

Despite the season coming to an end, finding Alien Nanites remains a tedious task in-game. They can be found in Holly Hatchery, within the Mothership and on top of Abductors now that they have been re-enabled.

In addition to finding them, players can simply buy them from Rick Sanchez for 150 gold. He is located at Defiant Dish, which is East of Weeping Woods. The NPC will sell a total of five Alien Nanites in every match, so buying one shouldn't be a problem.
