Where to Find Thermite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

A new season brings a fresh loot pool, making it tricky to track down specific items. Luckily, Thermite is easy to find, appearing as floor loot and in chests. You can also buy it with Bars at Black Markets and Outlaw Vending Machines in Crime City, Seaport City, Lonewolf Lair, and Masked Meadows, or grab it from Go Bags.

Picking up Thermite adds it to your inventory, but it forces a tough choice. Most Fortnite players have a preferred loadout, and squeezing in a new item can disrupt your setup. Fortunately, Thermite offers multiple uses in Battle Royale, making it worth considering.
