'Fortnite' adds vending machines. This is why it's a big deal

When you're not too busy gathering wood or ducking gunfire in the popular video game Fortnite Battle Royale, you can pay a visit to the vending machine. Epic Games just launched an update to the game, which has surged into mainstream consciousness thanks to hip hop star Drake, where players can visit nearby vending machines for loot. Why is this a big deal? It's another way for players to use resources such as wood, bricks or steel to exchange for weapons. When you visit one, it shows an item along with the needed amount of materials to obtain it.
