Thermite is one of the new items added to the loot pool as part of Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite.
Thermite is an explosive item that you can use to blast through the reinforced walls of bank vaults and vault cars in Fortnite. In one of the Week 1 quests, you are told to “Collect Bars while inside a Bank Vault.” In order to do this quest, and break into other reinforced areas, you’ll need thermite.
The rest of this guide will explain how to get thermite in Fortnite and where to find it.
How to get thermite in Fortnite
Thermite is a rare item in Fortnite that you can find scattered across the new map. Overall, it shouldn’t be that hard to find it since there are several ways to collect it. The item itself looks like two sticks of dynamite that are taped together. Here is every way we were able to collect it:
- The easiest way to find thermite is by opening a special kind of chest that looks like a duffle bag. We noticed that there tends to be a high concentration of these kinds of chests outside of buildings with vaults. or example, we saw three of such chests laying around on the ground outside the vault in Seaport City. (This is convenient because you need the thermite to blast through the vault door.)
- You can also purchase thermite at Black Markets for 50 bars.
- Some of the NPC henchmen who escorted the Armored Transport (also called vault cars) dropped them after we eliminated them.
