These machines will sell you a random item for 100 Gold Bars, so you’ll either get something rather useful or a weapon which could help you win the match.
The problem with trying to find a malfunctioning vending machine is their location is selected randomly every match. This means that, even if you check a good number of vending machine locations, you still might not find the one malfunctioning.
If you would like to get this challenge out of the way, we recommend visiting both Sleepy Sound and Coney Crossroads at the beginning of a match. Not only do both of these locations contain three vending machines, but they’re located close together.
This means you can easily check both locations for a malfunctioning vending machine, collect some good loot as you go, and then get back to the match.
Just remember - this could take you some time.
