Mastering Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless

Vaults are back in Fortnite's Lawless season, but accessing them is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games introduced Thermite, the perfect tool for aspiring vault raiders. This guide explains how to find and utilize Thermite effectively.

Locating Thermite:

Finding Thermite is relatively straightforward. It's 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.

Utilizing Thermite:

Thermite serves a dual purpose:

  1. Vault Breaching: Place Thermite on a vault door and wait for it to detonate. Targeting weak points on the vault structure will expedite the process. Be prepared for potential enemy interference; other players will be drawn to the valuable loot inside.

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

With this knowledge, you're well-equipped to utilize Thermite's strategic advantages in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more Fortnite insights, check out the rumored collaborations for this season.

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