Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: A Heist Essential
Vaults are back in Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, but accessing them is tougher than ever. Luckily, Epic Games introduced the perfect tool for aspiring thieves: Thermite. This guide explains how to find and utilize it.
Locating Thermite:
Finding Thermite isn't difficult. It's readily available as floor loot, within chests, and purchasable with Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines (located in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows). You can also find it in Go Bags.
Strategic Deployment:
Thermite serves a dual purpose:
-
Vault Breaching: Place Thermite on a vault door and wait for it to detonate. Targeting weak points speeds up the process. Be prepared for potential enemy interference; the spoils attract unwanted attention.
-
Offensive Weapon: Throw Thermite as a makeshift explosive. While not the most powerful explosive in the game, its area-of-effect damage can provide a tactical advantage during intense firefights.
Mastering Thermite:
With Thermite in your inventory, you'll need to strategize its use within your loadout. Its versatility makes it a valuable asset for both stealthy heists and aggressive combat.
