How to unlock Thermite in Warzone

Send Push
Thermite, one of the most lethal tactical tools for vehicle destruction and area denial, is back in Warzone Season 3 . The incendiary grenade sticks to the surfaces and burns the enemies over time. It is just perfect to flush out the campers or to stop the vehicles in their tracks. Here is a comprehensive guide that will walk you through all you need to know about unlocking the tool in the latest season.



How to unlock Thermite?



Currently, Thermite is available through the Black Ops Tribute Event . The event will run between April 17 and May 1, 2025. Unlike the previous traditional weapon versions, where the players were to grind the levels, this time, Thermite will be a community-wide unlock. It means all the players can gain access to it once the global XP goal is achieved.


During the event, here is what you need to do to be a part of this weapon unlock.


  • Play Warzone/Black Ops 6 during this event period.
  • Earn some XP through kills, matches, and objectives.
  • Wait for the community milestone to get completed. Activision would notify the players of it.

If you miss the event window, Thermite might still be available in the ground loot drops or be purchased at the Buy Stations. However, the easiest means to guarantee your access is by participating in the event before it ends.



Best use of Thermite in Warzone

The Thermite excels in anti-vehicle combat. It is much more effective than the C4 or Semtex in certain situations. It can stick to the helicopter or car to quickly disable or destroy it.


It is even great for area control, as unlike the frag grenades that instantly explode, Thermites create the lingering fire zone. It forces the enemies out of the cover or blocks the entry points within the buildings.


Unlike the previous versions, sticking Thermite to the enemy will not always guarantee the kill. However, it would do heavy damage, enough to down the players with 2 armor plates or even less. Using it strategically would weaken the foes before they are finished off.



Why is Thermite worth unlocking?

With the return of Verdanks to Warzone , the firepower of Thermite makes it a must-have for aggressive players. Whether you are stopping the rushing squad or are simply denying the enemy rotations, the lethal tool helps to add powerful tactical options within the arsenal.


Do not miss out. Jump in the Black Ops Tribute Event and unlock Thermite before May 1.
