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. A standout addition to the loot pool is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for pinpoint accuracy. This guide details how to obtain and effectively utilize this game-changer.

Acquiring the Lock-On Pistol

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

• Floor Loot: Keep an eye out while exploring the map. While not guaranteed, it's a possible find.
• Chests: Prioritize looting chests, as these offer a higher chance of containing Rare-rarity items.
• Fishing: Try your luck fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod. Rare weapons, including the Lock-On Pistol, have an increased drop rate from this method.

Utilizing the Lock-On Pistol's Unique Abilities

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

• Aim Down Sights (ADS): While ADS, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target 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).
• Effective Range: The lock-on functionality is limited to a 50-meter range.
• Hip-Firing: While less accurate, you can hip-fire the pistol, though you'll lose the lock-on advantage.

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

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on feature at close to medium range can significantly improve your accuracy and eliminate the need for precise aiming. Remember to utilize cover and maintain a suitable distance to maximize its effectiveness.
