How To Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

With the arrival of a new season comes a refreshed loot pool, and finding specific items can sometimes be a challenge. Luckily, Thermite is relatively easy to obtain. You can find it scattered as floor loot, inside chests, or purchase it using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines located in key zones such as Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Additionally, Thermite can also appear in Go Bags, making it accessible even during the heat of battle.
Picking up Thermite is straightforward — simply collect it to add it to your inventory. However, space might be tight depending on your usual loadout preferences. The good news? Thermite isn't just a one-trick pony. In *Fortnite*, versatility matters, and Thermite brings more than one benefit to the table.

As mentioned, Thermite’s primary function is to breach vault doors scattered across the map. Once placed on the front of a vault, the Thermite will detonate after a short period, but timing and positioning are key. It takes a while to explode, so make sure to target the weak points on the structure to speed up the process. Also, stay alert — other players will likely hear the blast and come looking to snatch the loot for themselves.
Beyond its vault-busting capabilities, Thermite can also be thrown like a tactical grenade. When used this way, it doesn’t explode immediately. Instead, it arms itself after a brief delay and then unleashes a fiery explosion that sends shrapnel flying in all directions. While not the most powerful explosive in *Fortnite*, it can definitely turn the tide of an intense firefight or provide much-needed cover in a pinch.
And there you have it — a complete guide on how to find and use Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. Whether you're busting into vaults or tossing explosives at enemies, Thermite is a valuable addition to your arsenal.
