Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol

Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a thrilling new season with exciting additions like Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. Among the new loot is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for pinpoint accuracy. This guide will show you how to acquire and effectively use this powerful sidearm.

How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

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

• Chest Loot: Search chests throughout the map. While not guaranteed, chests offer a decent chance of containing this valuable pistol.
• Fishing: Try your luck fishing at designated Fishing Spots. Fishing provides a higher probability of obtaining Rare weapons, increasing your chances of catching a Lock-On 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 functionality:

• 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 are gliding, in bushes, or otherwise (excluding cover).
• Effective Range: The lock-on feature is effective within a 50-meter radius.
• Hip-Firing: The pistol can be hip-fired, but this disables the lock-on mechanism.

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