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 pinpoint accuracy. This guide will detail how to obtain and effectively utilize this unique firearm.

Acquiring the Lock-On Pistol

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

• Floor Loot: Keep an eye out for it as you explore.
• Chests: Loot chests diligently to increase your chances of finding one.
• Fishing: Fishing at designated spots with a Fishing Rod offers a higher chance of obtaining Rare weapons, including the Lock-On Pistol.

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. While aiming down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. Any enemy within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, regardless of whether they're gliding, in bushes, or otherwise exposed (excluding cover).

However, remember that the lock-on functionality has a limited range of 50 meters. Hip-firing is possible, but it negates the lock-on advantage.

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

Mastering the Lock-On Pistol's range and lock-on mechanics will give you a significant advantage in combat. Remember to utilize cover effectively to stay within the lock-on range while remaining safe from enemy fire.
