Vaults have made a thrilling return in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, and they're tougher to crack than ever before. But don't worry, Epic Games has introduced an item tailor-made for aspiring heist masters: Thermite. Let's dive into how you can find and effectively use Thermite in this exciting new season.
How To Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
With the launch of a new season, the loot pool changes, making it tricky to locate specific items. However, finding Thermite is relatively straightforward. You can find it as floor loot and inside chests scattered across the map. Additionally, you can purchase Thermite using Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines, which are conveniently located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows. Don't forget to check Go Bags as well, as they might contain this handy item.
Picking up Thermite is as simple as grabbing any other item, but it might challenge your usual loadout strategy. No worries, though—Thermite's versatility makes it a valuable addition to your arsenal.
