Fortnite Hunters has launched Chapter 6 with an explosive start, featuring an expansive map to explore, the introduction of powerful Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and exciting boss battles. As the season unfolds, new content is continuously being added, enriching the game with unique items and additional features.

With Winterfest now concluded, Fortnite Hunters has rolled out its first major update, reintroducing some beloved unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade is on many players' wish lists, the Lock On Pistol is capturing the attention of those eager to enhance their accuracy.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, classified as a Rare item, can be found scattered across the map as floor loot or tucked away in chests. Although it's categorized as Rare, diligent looting of chests increases your chances of stumbling upon this coveted weapon.

An alternative method to secure the Lock On Pistol is by casting your line at Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. These spots boost the likelihood of reeling in a Rare weapon, making them a prime location for acquiring the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates similarly to other semi-automatic pistols in Fortnite, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its unique selling point, however, is the Lock-On feature. When you aim down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be hit by every bullet fired, as long as they remain in view and aren't obscured by cover.

This feature proves invaluable whether your opponents are gliding through the skies or camouflaged in bushes. However, keep in mind that the Lock-On function is effective only up to 50 meters, necessitating close-quarters combat. For those preferring a less precise approach, the pistol can be fired from the hip, though this bypasses the Lock-On advantage.
