If you're wondering where to find alien nanites in Fortnite, here's the info you need!

Fortnite alien nanites location

Alien nanites can appear in various places on the Fortnite map but that does mean they are easy to find as they don't tend to spawn all that often which adds a wrinkle to a simple challenge.

Luckily, there is one place that, at the time of writing, is still relatively easy and that is on the alien motherships. They are essentially found like loot so when you are on the ship, get looting chests and it should not take you too long until you find what you are looking for.

You can also find them via basic loot chests, floor loot chests and abductor's chests but as we say, the mothership is the quickest and easiest way to get this done.
