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. Among the additions is the intriguing Lock-On Pistol, a weapon designed for precision and ease of use. This guide will cover how to obtain and effectively utilize this unique firearm.

How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare (blue) rarity weapon, can be found in various locations across the map. Your best bet is to search chests, as these offer a higher chance of containing rarer items. Alternatively, try your luck fishing at Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. Fishing Spots often yield Rare-tier loot, increasing your odds of acquiring the pistol.

How to Use the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per shot. Its unique selling point 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 their movement (e.g., gliding or hiding in bushes), provided they aren't behind cover. The effective range of the lock-on is 50 meters. While hip-firing is possible, it negates the lock-on feature.

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on capability will significantly improve your accuracy and effectiveness in close to mid-range combat. Remember to utilize cover strategically to stay within the lock-on range while avoiding enemy fire.
