Vaults are back in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but accessing them is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games has introduced 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 readily available. You can find it as floor loot, in chests, at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines (located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows), and even in Go Bags. Simply pick it up to add it to your inventory.

While adding another item to your loadout might seem daunting, Thermite's versatility makes it worthwhile. It has two primary uses:

How to Use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

Vault Opening: Thermite's main function is breaching vaults. Place it on the vault's front and wait for it to detonate. Targeting weak points speeds up the process. Be warned: other players will likely be drawn to the potential loot, so stay vigilant.

Offensive Use: Thermite can also be thrown as a projectile. It has a short fuse before exploding, unleashing a burst of fiery destruction that damages nearby enemies. While not the most powerful explosive, it's a handy tool in tight situations.

That's how to find and use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more information, check out the rumored collaborations for this season.

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