The primary purpose of Thermite is to breach the vaults scattered across the map. With Thermite in your inventory, approach a Vault and place it on the door. After a wait, it will explode, granting you access. This process can be time-consuming, so target the weak points on the Vault to expedite things. Keep vigilant, as other players may try to swoop in and steal your hard-earned loot.

Beyond vaults, Thermite can be thrown as a tactical explosive. It doesn't detonate instantly but has a short fuse. Once it goes off, it unleashes a barrage of explosives, damaging any nearby foes. While it may not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*'s arsenal, Thermite can be a lifesaver in a tight spot during a heated battle.

That's the rundown on finding and using Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more excitement, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations coming to the Lawless season.

*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
