Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a thrilling new season, complete with a sprawling map, formidable Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. Among the new additions is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for precision shots. This guide will cover how to obtain and effectively use this powerful sidearm.

How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, like other Fortnite weapons, can be found as floor loot or within chests. Its Rare rarity makes it relatively common, but diligent looting is still advised. Alternatively, fishing at designated spots with a fishing rod offers a higher chance 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, inflicting 25 damage per hit. Its unique feature is its lock-on mechanism. While aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit by all shots, regardless of whether they're gliding, in bushes, or otherwise exposed (provided they aren't using cover).

The lock-on functionality has a 50-meter effective range, necessitating close-quarters combat. Hip-firing is also possible, but this disables the lock-on feature.

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