Vaults are back in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but cracking them open has never been more challenging. Thankfully, Epic Games has introduced an item tailored for aspiring thieves looking to execute heists. Here's a detailed guide on how to find and effectively use Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.
How to Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
With each new season, *Fortnite* introduces a fresh loot pool, making it tricky to pinpoint where certain items spawn. However, locating Thermite is relatively straightforward as it can be found as floor loot and inside chests. Additionally, you can purchase Thermite using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. You can also obtain it from Go Bags. Simply picking up Thermite will add it to your inventory, but integrating it into your loadout might require some strategic thinking, especially if you have a preferred setup.

How to Use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
The primary purpose of Thermite in this season is to breach the vaults scattered across the map. With Thermite in your inventory, approach a Vault and place the Thermite on its front. Wait for it to detonate, but be prepared for a wait as the process can be time-consuming. To expedite the vault opening, target the structure's weak points. Always stay vigilant as other players may try to hijack your loot.
Another tactical use for Thermite is as a throwable explosive. It has a short delay before exploding, but once it does, it unleashes a barrage of fireworks, damaging any nearby foes. While Thermite may not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*'s arsenal, it can certainly help you escape tight spots during intense firefights.
