Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: A Heist Helper

Vaults have returned to Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but accessing them is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games introduced the perfect tool for aspiring thieves: Thermite. This guide explains how to find and utilize this crucial item.

Locating Thermite

Finding Thermite isn't difficult. It's readily available as floor loot, within chests, and purchasable for Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines (located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows). You can also find it in Go Bags.

Using Thermite

Thermite's primary function is vault breaching. Place it against a vault door and wait for it to detonate. Targeting weak points on the vault structure speeds up the process. Be vigilant, as other players will likely try to steal your hard-earned loot.

Beyond vault cracking, Thermite can be thrown as a makeshift explosive. It has a short fuse before exploding, causing area-of-effect damage to nearby opponents. While not the most powerful explosive, it's a handy tool in close-quarters combat.

Conclusion

This guide covers finding and using Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. Remember to stay alert and utilize Thermite strategically to maximize its effectiveness.

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