Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Hunters' Chapter 6 has introduced a plethora of exciting content, including the 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 shooting. This guide will cover how to obtain and effectively utilize this powerful tool.

How to Obtain the Lock-On Pistol

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

  • Floor Loot: Check the ground for this pistol as you explore the map.
  • Chests: Loot chests liberally, as they have a higher chance of containing Rare weapons.
  • Fishing: Try your luck fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod. Rare weapons are more likely to be found this way.

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 mechanism. While aiming down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. Any enemy within this circle will be automatically hit, regardless of whether they are gliding, in bushes, or moving, provided they are not behind cover.

Keep in mind:

  • Effective Range: The lock-on function is limited to 50 meters.
  • Hip-Firing: You can hip-fire the pistol, but you'll lose the lock-on advantage.
