The primary purpose of Thermite is to breach the vaults scattered across the map. With Thermite in your inventory, approach a Vault, place the Thermite on its front, and wait for the explosion. Be patient, as it takes some time, and hitting the weak points on the structure can speed up the process. Stay vigilant, as other players might be lurking, ready to snatch the loot you're after.

Another way to use Thermite is by throwing it. It has a brief timer before detonating, and once it goes off, it unleashes a spectacular display of explosives, damaging any nearby enemies. While Thermite may not be the most potent explosive in *Fortnite*'s arsenal, it's a handy tool to have when you find yourself in a tight spot during an intense battle.

That's everything you need to know about finding and using Thermite in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For more exciting updates, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
