Fortnite Hunters has kicked off 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.

Winterfest has concluded, ushering in the first major update for Fortnite Hunters, which includes the return of several unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade may catch the eye of some players, many are eager to get their hands on the Lock On Pistol—a weapon designed to enhance accuracy.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, classified as a Rare weapon in Fortnite, can be found as floor loot or inside chests. Although it's considered Rare, players might still need to search diligently, opening as many chests as possible to increase their chances of finding it.

Another method to obtain the Lock On Pistol is through fishing at designated Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. These spots boost the likelihood of obtaining Rare items, making it a viable strategy for securing the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates much like other semi-automatic pistols in Fortnite, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its unique selling point is the Lock-On feature. When aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. As long as an enemy remains within this circle, every bullet fired will hit the target, provided the enemy isn't obscured by cover.

This feature is effective even against players gliding through the air or those hiding in bushes. However, the Lock-On functionality is limited to an effective range of 50 meters, requiring players to stay relatively close to their targets. For those who prefer a less precise approach, the Lock On Pistol can also be fired from the hip, though this method won't utilize the weapon's key feature.
