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. Adding to the mix is the return of unvaulted Chapter 4 items, among them the intriguing Lock-On Pistol. This guide will detail how to obtain and effectively utilize this unique weapon.

Acquiring the Lock-On Pistol

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

• Chest Loot: Search chests throughout the map. While not guaranteed, chests offer a higher chance of containing Rare items.
• Floor Loot: Keep an eye out for the pistol as floor loot, though this method is less reliable.
• Fishing: Try your luck fishing at designated Fishing Spots. Fishing Spots frequently yield Rare-tier weapons, increasing your chances of finding the Lock-On Pistol.

Utilizing the Lock-On Pistol's Unique Abilities

The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per hit. Its defining characteristic is its lock-on functionality. While aiming down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. Any enemy within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, regardless of whether they're gliding, in bushes, or even partially obscured (provided they aren't fully behind cover).

However, 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:

By mastering the acquisition and use of the Lock-On Pistol, you'll significantly enhance your combat effectiveness in Fortnite Chapter 6.
