Fortnite Update: Lock On Pistol Now Available

Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a thrilling new season with a revamped map, Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. Among the new additions is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for precision shots. This guide details how to obtain and effectively utilize this powerful tool.

How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare rarity weapon, can be found as floor loot or within chests throughout the game map. While not overly difficult to find, increasing your chances involves diligently looting as many chests as possible.

Alternatively, fishing at designated Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod offers a higher probability of acquiring Rare weapons, including the Lock-On Pistol.

How to Use the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol functions as a semi-automatic weapon, dealing 25 damage per shot. Its unique feature is its lock-on mechanism. When aiming down sights, a circle appears 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 exposed (provided they aren't using cover).

The lock-on feature has a 50-meter effective range, requiring relatively close proximity to your target. Hip-firing is also possible, but this disables the lock-on functionality.

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

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's lock-on capabilities will give you a significant advantage in close-quarters combat within Fortnite Chapter 6.
