Fortnite Hunters' Chapter 6 has exploded onto the scene with a massive map, the introduction of powerful Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and challenging boss battles. The season continues to unveil exciting new content, adding unique items to the loot pool and expanding gameplay features.

Winterfest has concluded, marking Fortnite Hunters' first major update and bringing back some unvaulted Chapter 4 items. While the Kinetic Blade might be a popular choice, many players are eager to get their hands on the Lock On Pistol – a weapon designed for precision shots.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

Like other Fortnite weapons, the Lock On Pistol can be found as floor loot or inside chests. Its Rare rarity makes it relatively common, but dedicated looting—especially of chests—is recommended to increase your chances.

Fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod also offers a good chance of acquiring a Rare weapon, including the Lock On Pistol. Fishing Spots provide a higher probability of Rare item drops.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol functions as a semi-automatic weapon, dealing 25 damage per hit. Its unique feature is its lock-on capability. While aiming down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be hit by all your shots, provided they aren't using cover.

This lock-on functionality even works on gliding players or those hidden in bushes. However, the effective range is limited to 50 meters, requiring close-quarters combat. Hip-firing is possible, but you'll lose the benefits of the lock-on feature.
