Fortnite: How To Get The Lock On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a thrilling new season with a massive map, Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. The latest update, following Winterfest, has reintroduced some Chapter 4 favorites, including the powerful Lock-On Pistol. This guide will show you how to acquire and effectively utilize this unique weapon.

How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

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

• Chest and Floor Loot: While not guaranteed, searching chests and scavenging the map for floor loot provides a chance to obtain the pistol. Since it's a Rare item, your odds are reasonably good with diligent searching.

• Fishing: Fishing at designated spots with a fishing rod offers a higher chance of finding Rare weapons, including the Lock-On Pistol. This method provides a viable alternative to traditional looting.

How to Use the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per shot. Its key feature is its lock-on mechanism.

• Lock-On Functionality: While aiming down sights, a circle will appear around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, regardless of whether they are gliding, in bushes, or otherwise attempting to avoid direct fire (excluding cover). However, this lock-on effect has a limited range of 50 meters.

• Hip-Firing: The pistol can also be effectively hip-fired, although this negates the lock-on advantage.

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

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on capabilities at close to medium range will significantly enhance your combat effectiveness in Fortnite Chapter 6.
