Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Hunters' Chapter 6 has introduced exciting new elements, including the powerful Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. A notable addition to the loot pool is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for precision shots. This guide details how to obtain and effectively utilize this weapon.

How to Obtain the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare-rarity weapon, can be found in various locations:

  • Floor Loot: Check the ground for this weapon, though it's not guaranteed.
  • Chests: Loot as many chests as possible to increase your chances of finding one. This is generally a more reliable method.
  • Fishing: Fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod provides a decent chance of obtaining Rare weapons, including the Lock-On Pistol.

How to Use the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per hit. Its key feature is its lock-on functionality:

  • Aim Down Sights (ADS): When aiming down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, ignoring cover (unless the target is completely behind cover). This works even on gliding or camouflaged opponents.
  • Limited Range: The lock-on is effective only within a 50-meter radius.
  • Hip-Firing: The pistol can be hip-fired, but the lock-on feature won't be active.
