How To Deploy Alien Nanites In Fortnite

Need help deploying alien nanites in Fortnite? Alien nanites are a brand new resource in the latest season of Fortnite. You can find this resource almost anywhere on the map: in abductors, floor loot, chests, and more. Just like ammo, alien nanites are a common loot drop, meaning you shouldn’t have any issues trying to find it as you play the game.

Alien nanites are special because they serve two purposes: they can be used to upgrade weapons, and they create special zones – the alien nanite zones lower the gravity drastically, allowing players to jump multiple times in mid-air. You need to be careful as the sound of gunfire doesn’t come through as easily in this zone, and the zones only last 30 seconds. If you aren’t paying attention, you could take quite a bit of fall damage when the zone fades away.

This resource is only available for a limited time, so try to find the alien nanites while they’re still around. Check out our other Fortnite guides this week, including dancing near Zyg and Choppy, placing welcome gifts in Holly Hatchery, and the locations of the CB radios.
