How to Get and Use Patch Up Service in Fortnite

This article will show you how to get and use the Patch Up Service in Fortnite’s newest update!

In the heat of Fortnite’s intense battles, having a reliable source of healing can make all the difference. This is where the Patch Up Service comes to help, offering players a quick and convenient way to restore their health in the middle of battle. Let’s dive into how you can get and use this invaluable feature.

How to Get Patch Up Service in Fortnite

In Fortnite, the Patch Up Service is a special feature that lets players quickly restore some of their lost health. For 100 Gold Bars, you can recover 50 health points, giving you a helpful boost when you’re running low on healing items or facing a tough situation.

There are two primary ways to get the Patch Up Service in Fortnite:

Non-Playable Characters (NPCs)

Certain NPCs scattered across the map offer the Patch Up Service. Currently, the two NPCs providing this service are:

• Peely – Located on a hill just south of Restored Reels, near a campfire.
• Korra – Found at the Water Shrine, south of the Grand Glacier Point of Interest (POI).

Approach these NPCs, and they will present you with the option to purchase the Patch Up Service.

Mending Machines

Mending Machines, which is easily spotted by their large medical cross sign, are supposed to offer the Patch Up Service. Unfortunately, they’re currently malfunctioning, giving out random items instead of providing healing services. So this is a gamble for players whether they want to spend 100 gold for the item they want, or in the end it might be something completely useless.

How to Use Patch Up Service in Fortnite

To use the Patch Up Service in Fortnite, you must have taken some damage already, as you can’t buy it when your health bar is full. Here are a few tips for making the most of this feature:

• Engage in combat: Participate in a few battles to deplete your health, but be cautious not to eliminate yourself entirely.
• Take fall damage: If you’re near an NPC offering the service, you can intentionally take fall damage to reduce your health.
• Plan your route: Keep an eye out for the locations of NPCs and Mending Machines (when functional) to ensure you have access to the Patch Up Service when needed.

While the Patch Up Service can be a game-changer in tough spots, it’s best saved for emergencies. Make sure to prioritize gathering healing items from chests, defeated enemies, and other places to keep your health up throughout the game.
