Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol
Fortnite Hunters' Chapter 6 has introduced exciting new elements, including Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. A notable addition to the loot pool is the Lock-On Pistol, a unique weapon designed for precision aiming. This guide details how to obtain and effectively utilize this powerful sidearm.
How to Obtain the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare-rarity weapon, can be found in several ways:
- Chest Loot: Search chests throughout the map. While not guaranteed, chests offer a higher chance of containing Rare weapons.
- Fishing: Use a fishing rod at Fishing Spots. These locations have an increased chance of yielding Rare items, including the Lock-On Pistol.
How to Use the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per hit. Its key feature is its lock-on mechanism:
- Lock-On Aim: While aiming down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit, regardless of movement (within range) and even if they're in bushes or gliding, provided they aren't behind cover.
- Effective Range: The lock-on function has a 50-meter range.
- Hip-Firing: The pistol can be hip-fired, but this disables the lock-on feature.
