Fortnite Hunters' Chapter 6 has arrived, bringing a massive map, the powerful Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. New content continues to roll out, adding exciting items and features.

Winterfest's conclusion marks Fortnite Hunters' first major update, reintroducing unvaulted Chapter 4 items. While the Kinetic Blade is attracting attention, many players are eager to master the Lock On Pistol – a weapon designed for pinpoint accuracy.

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, though you might need to search multiple chests for a guaranteed find.

Fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod also offers a decent chance of acquiring a Rare weapon, including the Lock On Pistol.

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 every bullet, regardless of whether they're gliding, in bushes, or attempting to use cover (within the effective range).

However, this Lock-On feature has a 50-meter range limit. For close-quarters combat, hip-firing is effective, though you'll lose the Lock-On advantage.
