Unlocking Thermite in Warzone Season 3

Yo, gamers! If you’re diving back into Call of Duty: Warzone, you’ll be pumped to know that Season 3 has brought back the Thermite lethal equipment. This bad boy was taken out during the Black Ops 6 era but is making a comeback, albeit with a twist!

How to Unlock Thermite

Getting your hands on thermite isn’t straightforward, given the game’s broken in-game info. First off, there’s no description on how to unlock it—just a padlock! But no worries; here’s the scoop:

To snag the Thermite:

  1. Participate in the Black Ops Tribute event that’s running from April 17 to May 1 in both Warzone and Black Ops 6.
  2. Simply earn XP in any mode to progress through the event and unlock the rewards.
  3. Heads up: Thermite is exclusive to Warzone, even though the event spans both games.

Event Rewards

Alongside our fiery friend, the Black Ops Tribute event offers some sick rewards:

  • John Black Ops Operator skin
  • Steer melee blueprint
  • Nail Gun special weapon
  • Close Shave perk
  • Death Machine scorestreak
  • Various emblems, calling cards, and XP tokens

Thermite’s New Mechanics

Now, about how Thermite works this time around. It’s still that go-to for anti-vehicle and area denial, but it’s not as lethal as before. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Won’t guarantee a kill anymore—now it only downs enemies with two armor plates or fewer.
  • If you’re looking for quick finishes, stick to throwable knives.
  • Plus, it’ll blow up any vehicles that take damage before the proper detonation.

Pro Tips and Tricks

  • Combine Thermite with Vehicles: Use it against enemy vehicles to force them into cover or deal massive damage.
  • Corral Enemies: Toss it into buildings where enemies are holed up; even if it doesn’t finish them off, it’ll weaken them for your squad.
  • Use it Wisely: Save Thermite for clutch moments—especially against vehicles or when you know you’re outnumbered.

Final Word

With this new season and the awesome rewards up for grabs, it’s the perfect time to jump back into Warzone. Whether you’re trying to unlock Thermite or test out new tactics, keep reviving and pushing forward! Happy gaming!
