Vaults are back in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but cracking them open is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games has provided the perfect tool for aspiring heist artists: Thermite. This guide shows you how to find and use it.

Navigating the new season's loot pool can be tricky, but thankfully Thermite is relatively easy to find. You can locate it as floor loot, inside chests, purchase it with Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines (found in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows), or even snag it from Go Bags.

Adding Thermite to your inventory is simple, but choosing where it fits in your loadout might require some strategic thinking. Fear not, though, as Thermite offers more than one use.

Thermite's primary function is, of course, vault breaching. Place it against the vault's front, and wait for the explosion. To speed things up, target the weaker points of the structure. Remember, other players will be eyeing that loot, so stay alert!

Alternatively, you can throw Thermite as a makeshift explosive. It has a short fuse, but once it detonates, it unleashes a fiery burst of damage, perfect for disrupting enemies in close-quarters combat. While not the most powerful explosive in the game, it's a handy tool in a pinch.

That’s how to find and use Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more Fortnite news, check out all the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
