If you look at the quest in your journal, you will receive three locations where they can be found. They are also found in additional locations on the map and are simply marked as Weapon Vending Machines. You will find some specific locations on the map below:
Another way to get Deku’s Smash in Fortnite is to pick up All-Might airdrops. These work the same as other supply drops and are marked on your map as they are dropped. All-Might versions contain the Deku’s Smash item. The symbol you are looking for is shown below:
Finally you can collect Deku’s Smash from players you’ve killed who have it in their inventory. The item has a maximum of three charges, so you may have less if you get one this way.

How to use Deku’s Smash in Fortnite
To use Deku’s Smash in Fortnite, select it in your inventory, then hold down the fire button. You will hover in the air and recharge it for a few seconds. Aim the reticle at your enemy while charging and the weapon will fire. Interestingly, if you’re close to an enemy, you’ll dash forward and strike where they are. If you aim at a distant enemy, the weapon will fire like a projectile that will explode on impact. All objects within a small radius will be damaged, as will any enemies caught in the explosion.
Note that you only have three charges to use when picking up a Deku Smash. It does not recharge, and you cannot carry more than one in your inventory. Upgrading to a new one is the only way to get more uses.
