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. This guide explains how to find and use it.
Navigating the new season's loot pool can be tricky, but Thermite is surprisingly easy to find. It appears as floor loot, in chests, and can be purchased 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.
Adding Thermite to your inventory is simple, but choosing where it fits in your loadout might require some strategic thinking. Fortunately, Thermite is surprisingly versatile.

The primary use for Thermite is, of course, vault breaching. Place it against the vault door and wait for the explosion. Targeting weak points speeds up the process. Be warned: other players will likely be drawn to the sound of the explosion, hoping to steal your hard-earned loot.
Alternatively, Thermite can be thrown as a projectile. It has a short fuse before detonating, creating a fiery explosion that damages nearby enemies. While not the most powerful explosive in Fortnite, it's a handy tool in a tight spot.
That’s how to find and use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more Fortnite news, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
