Where to find and purchase from vending machines in Fortnite (Week 12 challenge)

The Fortnite NPC, known as Maven, who's a part of the IO, seems to think that following the alien invasion of the island, a lot of vending machines have stopped working due to lack of maintenance.

She wants loopers to use the various vending machines on the island to ensure that at least some of them are still in working condition and are dispensing items as paid for.

Players will have to use gold to purchase the items, and upon completing the task, they will be rewarded with 30,000 experience points. Sadly though, neither the IO nor Maven will refund the gold spent.
