Where to find Alien Nanites in Fortnite Season 7

Alien Nanites in Fortnite are a new way for players to experience low-gravity and craft weapons. This is one of the more recent items in the game and is a requirement to complete one of the Week 4 challenges. Those who have been on the Mothership may have already experienced the low-gravity effect, but Alien Nanites take it to the ground.

Locations of Alien Nanites in Fortnite Season 7

The Alien Nanites in Fortnite have two functions. First, they can be used to craft the aforementioned Alien weapons. Secondly, they can be thrown to create a low-gravity zone on the battle royale island.

Locating them requires a bit of searching, but they are not too difficult to come across. They will be found most commonly on the Mothership and Abducters. Players just need to wait for Epic Games to fix an issue with them not appearing.

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!

iFireMonkey tweeted something similar, all but confirming that this is where the Alien Nanites in Fortnite will be located. Once Epic Games resolves the issue, be sure to look for them in the designated Alien locations.

Alien Nanites will mostly be found from chests on Abductors and from chests in the Mothership minigame.

Gameplay footage of the Alien Nanites in Fortnite shows just exactly how they work. Once thrown, a cubic area becomes encased with a low-gravity effect. The cube radiates a blue and purple color scheme, matching with the Aliens.
