Where to find Alien Nanites in Fortnite Season 7?

Despite the season coming to an end, finding Alien Nanites remains a tedious task in-game. They can be found in Holly Hatchery, within the Mothership and on top of Abductors now that they have been re-enabled.

In addition to finding them, players can simply buy them from Rick Sanchez for 150 gold. He is located at Defiant Dish, which is East of Weeping Woods. The NPC will sell a total of five Alien Nanites in every match, so buying one shouldn't be a problem.
