Fortnite Chapter 6: Mastering the Lock-On Pistol
Fortnite Chapter 6 has introduced a plethora of exciting new content, including the powerful Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and challenging bosses. Adding to the mix is the return of some Chapter 4 favorites and the debut of unique weapons like the Lock-On Pistol. This guide will detail how to acquire and effectively utilize this game-changing weapon.
How to Obtain the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol, being a Rare-tier weapon, can be found in several ways:
- Floor Loot: Check the ground for this powerful pistol. While not guaranteed, it's a viable method.
- Chests: Loot as many chests as possible to increase your chances of finding the Lock-On Pistol. This is generally a more reliable method than floor loot.
- Fishing: Use a Fishing Rod at Fishing Spots. The increased chance of Rare weapon drops makes fishing a worthwhile strategy.
How to Use the Lock-On Pistol
The Lock-On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon dealing 25 damage per hit. Its unique feature is its lock-on mechanism.
- Lock-On Functionality: While aiming down sights, a circle will appear around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit, regardless of whether they are gliding, in bushes, or even partially obscured (provided they aren't completely behind cover). This lock-on has a 50-meter effective range.
- Hip-Firing: The Lock-On Pistol can be hip-fired, but this disables the lock-on feature. Hip-firing is less accurate but can be useful in close-quarters combat.
Lock-On Pistol Stats:
