Vaults have made a thrilling return in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, and cracking them open has never been more challenging. Luckily, Epic Games has introduced an item tailor-made for aspiring heist enthusiasts: Thermite. Here’s your complete guide on how to find and effectively use Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.
How to Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
With each new season comes a refreshed loot pool, making it tricky to pinpoint where certain items are hiding. However, finding Thermite is relatively straightforward. You can stumble upon it as floor loot or discover it inside chests. For a more direct approach, you can purchase Thermite using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines. These are scattered across hotspots like Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Don't forget to check Go Bags, another potential source for this explosive item.
Picking up Thermite is as simple as it gets, but integrating it into your loadout might require some strategic thinking. Like many *Fortnite* players, you likely have a preferred setup, and adding another item can complicate matters. Fortunately, Thermite's versatility in Battle Royale makes it a worthwhile addition.

How to Use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
The primary use for Thermite in this season is to blast open the vaults scattered across the map. With Thermite in your inventory, approach the Vault and place the item on its front. It will take some time to ignite and explode, so be patient and strategic. To speed up the process, target the weak points on the Vault's structure. Remember, while you’re waiting for the Thermite to do its job, stay alert. Other players might be lurking nearby, eager to snatch the loot you're after.
Beyond vaults, you can also use Thermite offensively in combat. Throw it at your foes, and after a brief delay, it’ll ignite into a spectacular display of fireworks, with explosives scattering in all directions, damaging any nearby enemies. While Thermite might not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite* history, it’s certainly handy for turning the tide in heated skirmishes.
That wraps up your guide on finding and using Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more exciting updates, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations planned for the Lawless season.
