How To Find & Use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2

Vaults are back in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but cracking them open is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games has provided the perfect tool for aspiring heist artists: Thermite. Here's how to find and use it.

Navigating the new season's loot pool can be tricky, but finding Thermite is surprisingly easy. It's available as floor loot, in chests, at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines (located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows), and even in Go Bags. Simply pick it up to add it to your inventory.

Adding Thermite to your loadout might seem like another item to juggle, but it's surprisingly versatile.

Its primary function is, of course, vault breaching. Place it against the vault door and wait for the explosion. Targeting weaker points on the vault will speed up the process. Be warned, though – other players will be drawn to the sound of your heist, so stay alert!

Alternatively, you can throw Thermite as a makeshift explosive. It has a short fuse, but once it detonates, it creates a fiery explosion, damaging nearby enemies. While not the most powerful explosive in the game, it's a handy tool in a tight spot.

That's all there is to finding and using Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more Fortnite news, check out the rumored collaborations for this season.

Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
