Fortnite: How To Get The Lock On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has arrived, bringing with it a new map, Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, challenging bosses, and exciting new loot. Following the Winterfest event, several unvaulted Chapter 4 items have returned, including the highly sought-after Lock-On Pistol. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this unique weapon.

How to Obtain the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare-rarity weapon, can be found as floor loot or within chests. While not guaranteed, increasing your chances involves thoroughly looting chests.

Alternatively, fishing at designated Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod provides a higher probability 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 shot. Its unique feature is its lock-on mechanism. When 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 are gliding, in bushes, or partially obscured (provided they are not completely behind cover).

The lock-on functionality has a 50-meter range limitation. While hip-firing is possible, it negates the primary lock-on advantage.

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on mechanic will give you a significant advantage in close-to-medium range combat. Remember to utilize the lock-on feature for maximum effectiveness.
