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

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

Navigating the new season's loot pool can be tricky, but thankfully, Thermite is readily available. You can find it 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.

While adding another item to your loadout might seem daunting, Thermite's versatility makes it worthwhile. It has more than one use in Battle Royale.

Thermite's primary function is vault opening. Place it against the vault's front and wait for the explosion. Targeting weak points speeds up the process. Be warned: other players will be drawn to the potential loot, so stay vigilant.

Alternatively, you can throw Thermite. It has a short fuse before exploding, causing area-of-effect damage to nearby enemies. While not the most powerful explosive, it's a handy tool in tight situations.

That's how to find and use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more information, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.

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