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. This update also brings back some beloved Chapter 4 weapons, including the highly sought-after Lock-On Pistol. This guide will show you how to acquire and effectively utilize this unique weapon.
How to Get the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare-rarity weapon, can be found in various locations:
- Floor Loot: Check the ground for a lucky spawn.
- Chests: Loot as many chests as possible to increase your chances.
- Fishing: Try your luck fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod. Rare weapons have a higher drop rate from fishing.
How to Use the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per hit. Its unique selling point is its lock-on functionality.
- Lock-On Mechanic: While aiming down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. Any enemy within this circle will be automatically hit, regardless of their movement (gliding, hiding in bushes, etc.), provided they aren't using 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 capability.
