As the new season introduces a refreshed loot pool, locating specific items can be a challenge. However, finding Thermite is relatively straightforward. You can stumble upon it as floor loot or inside chests scattered across the map. Additionally, you can purchase Thermite using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines, which are strategically placed in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Don't forget to check Go Bags for an additional chance to snag this valuable item.

The primary function of Thermite is to breach the formidable vaults scattered throughout the map. Once you have Thermite in your inventory, you can place it on the vault's front and wait for the explosive reaction. Be prepared for a wait, as it takes some time to ignite. To expedite the process, target the structure's weak points. Stay vigilant, as rival players may be lurking, eager to snatch the coveted loot before you do.
Beyond vault access, Thermite serves another tactical purpose in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. You can hurl it at opponents, where it won't detonate instantly but will trigger after a brief delay. Once it goes off, it unleashes a spectacular burst of explosives, damaging any nearby adversaries. While Thermite might not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*'s arsenal, it can be a game-changer in a tight spot during intense firefights.
That concludes our guide on finding and utilizing Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For those eager for more, keep an eye out for all the rumored collaborations set to enhance the Lawless season.
