Vaults have made a thrilling comeback in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, and they’re more challenging than ever to crack open. Fortunately, Epic Games has introduced an item tailor-made for aspiring heist masters: Thermite. Let's dive into how to find and effectively use Thermite in this season of *Fortnite*.

How To Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

The new season brings a fresh loot pool, which can make finding specific items a bit tricky. However, Thermite is readily available as floor loot and in chests. You can also purchase it using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines, located in hotspots like Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Additionally, you can snag Thermite from Go Bags. Once you pick up Thermite, it's added to your inventory, but you'll need to consider how it fits into your preferred loadout strategy. Don't worry, though; Thermite's versatility in Battle Royale makes it a valuable addition.

How To Use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

The primary purpose of Thermite is to breach the vaults scattered across the map. With Thermite in your inventory, approach a Vault and place the item on its front. Be prepared to wait, as it takes time to burn through, but you can speed up the process by targeting the structure's weak points. Stay vigilant, as other players will be eager to snatch the loot you're after.

Another tactical use for Thermite is as a throwable explosive. After a brief timer, it detonates, sending a shower of explosives in all directions and damaging any nearby enemies. While it may not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*'s arsenal, Thermite can be a lifesaver in the heat of battle.

That's the lowdown on finding and using Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more excitement, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
