How to Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2
Thermite is a new rare-tier explosive item that looks like two sticks of dynamite taped together. It’s essential for breaking into bank vaults and armored vehicles in Fortnite. Unlike previous seasons where you needed keycards, Thermite is now your go-to tool for accessing high-tier loot.
Getting your hands on Thermite isn’t too challenging. The most reliable way is to look for duffle bags. These are special loot chests that are located near vault locations. These bags often contain Thermite along with other useful supplies. Each Thermite drop gives you three grenades to work with. You can also acquire Thermite through several other methods:
- Visit Black Markets and purchase it for 50 gold bars.
- Eliminating the NPC henchmen who guard armored transports.
How to Use Thermite to Open Vaults in Fortnite
The vault-cracking process requires strategy and awareness. Here’s how to do it:
- Approach the vault door and look for the blue highlighted spot.
- Throw your Thermite at this location to begin the heist.
- The door will start opening in five stages, but be prepared – this process attracts attention from both NPCs and other players.
You can speed up the process by either throwing additional Thermite at the door or using a Plasma Burst Laser. So stock up on explosives before starting your heist. If you run into trouble, Thermite can also be used as a weapon. When thrown at enemies, it creates a delayed explosion followed by multiple smaller blasts, making it effective for both damage and area control.
Vault Locations in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2
There are five vaults available in each match. Here are the exact locations on the map:
- Crime City
- Seaport City
- Masked Meadows
- Lonewolf Lair
- Fletcher’s armored train
The buildings housing these vaults are easily recognizable by their brown and gold color scheme. Keep an eye out for Fletcher too, who randomly guards one of these vaults each match. You’ll spot his location by the wolf icon next to the vault marker on your map.
