Fortnite: How To Get The Lock On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a plethora of exciting new content, including the powerful Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. Among the additions is the intriguing Lock-On Pistol, a weapon designed for precision shots. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this unique firearm.

Acquiring the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare weapon, can be found in two primary ways:

• Chest Loot: Search chests throughout the map. While not guaranteed, chests offer a higher chance of containing Rare items, increasing your odds of finding the Lock-On Pistol.

• Fishing: Use a fishing rod at fishing spots. Fishing spots have a higher probability of yielding Rare weapons, making this a viable method for obtaining the pistol.

Utilizing the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol functions as a semi-automatic weapon, inflicting 25 damage per hit. Its defining characteristic is its lock-on mechanism. While aiming down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, regardless of their movement (gliding, hiding in bushes, etc.), provided they are not behind cover.

Keep in mind that the lock-on feature has a limited range of 50 meters. Hip-firing is possible, but this disables the lock-on functionality.

Here's a summary of the Lock-On Pistol's stats:

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on mechanic at close to medium range will give you a significant advantage in combat. Remember to utilize cover effectively to avoid being caught outside its effective range.
