Fortnite Hunters has kicked off Chapter 6 with a bang, offering a vast map to explore, the debut of powerful Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and thrilling bosses to battle. As the season progresses, even more content is being unveiled, adding unique items to the loot pool and additional features to dive into.

Winterfest has come to a close, marking the first major update for Fortnite Hunters, one that brings back some unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade might be on some players' radar, others may be eager to get their hands on the Lock On Pistol—a weapon designed to help players land their shots.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, being a Rare rarity weapon in Fortnite, can be found as floor loot or within chests scattered across the map. While it's not the rarest item, players may still need to search extensively, opening as many chests as possible to increase their chances of finding it.

Another method to obtain the Lock On Pistol is by fishing at designated Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. These spots boost the likelihood of obtaining a Rare weapon, thus improving your chances of reeling in the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates much like other pistols in Fortnite, functioning as a semi-automatic weapon that delivers 25 damage per shot. Its unique selling point is the Lock-On feature. When you aim down sights, a targeting circle appears around your reticle. As long as an enemy remains within this circle, every shot you fire will hit the target, regardless of whether they're gliding through the air or hiding in bushes—unless they're behind cover.

However, the Lock-On feature has a limited effective range of 50 meters, so staying close to your targets is crucial. For those who prefer a more aggressive playstyle, the Lock On Pistol can also be fired from the hip, though this bypasses the Lock-On advantage.
