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

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

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

Locating Thermite:

Finding Thermite isn't difficult. It's readily available as floor loot, within chests, and purchasable with 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.

Strategic Deployment:

While Thermite's primary function is vault breaching, its application extends beyond simple heisting.

Vault Opening: Place Thermite against a vault door and wait for it to detonate. Targeting weak points on the vault structure accelerates the process. Remember, other players will be vying for the same loot, so maintain situational awareness.

Offensive Utility: Thermite can also be thrown as a projectile. After a short fuse, it explodes, causing area-of-effect damage to nearby opponents. Though not the most powerful explosive, it's a valuable tool in close-quarters combat.

Conclusion:

Mastering Thermite's dual functionality—vault breaching and offensive deployment—significantly enhances your Fortnite gameplay. Use this guide to become a master thief and dominate the Lawless season.

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