With each new season comes a fresh loot pool, making it challenging to pinpoint specific items. Luckily, Thermite is relatively easy to find, as it appears as floor loot and can be discovered in chests. You can also purchase it using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines, which are scattered across Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Additionally, you can snag it from Go Bags.

Once you've picked up Thermite, you'll need to decide how it fits into your loadout strategy. Like many *Fortnite* players, you likely have a preferred setup, and adding another item can complicate things. However, rest assured that Thermite offers versatile uses in Battle Royale.

The primary purpose of Thermite is to break into the vaults scattered around the map. With Thermite in your inventory, simply place it on the front of the Vault and wait for the explosion. Be prepared, though, as this process takes some time. To speed things up, target the weak points on the structure. It's crucial to stay vigilant, as rival players will be eager to snatch the loot you're after.

Another way to utilize Thermite is by throwing it. It doesn't detonate immediately, featuring a brief timer before erupting into a spectacular display of explosives that can damage nearby enemies. While Thermite may not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*, it can certainly be a game-changer in the heat of battle.

And there you have it—everything you need to know about finding and using Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more exciting updates, check out all the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
