Fortnite: Unlocking the Lock On Pistol Guide

Fortnite Hunters has launched Chapter 6 with an explosive start, introducing a sprawling map, the debut of formidable Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and exciting boss battles. As the season unfolds, more content is being added, enriching the game with unique items and new features.

With Winterfest now behind us, Fortnite Hunters has rolled out its first major update, reintroducing some beloved items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade may catch the eye of some, the Lock On Pistol is another weapon that's generating buzz, designed to help players improve their accuracy.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, classified as a Rare weapon, can be found as floor loot or inside chests. Although it's not the rarest item, players may need to open multiple chests to increase their chances of finding it.

Another method to obtain the Lock On Pistol is by fishing at designated Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. These spots offer a higher chance of yielding Rare weapons, making it a viable strategy to secure the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates like other semi-automatic pistols in Fortnite, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its unique feature is the Lock-On capability. When aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. If a target is within this circle, all shots will hit the target, as long as they're not behind cover.

This feature is effective against players gliding or hiding in bushes. However, the Lock-On function has a limited range of 50 meters, necessitating close proximity to the target. For those who prefer a more aggressive playstyle, the Lock On Pistol can also be fired from the hip, though this method won't utilize the weapon's primary Lock-On feature.
