Fortnite Hunters has kicked off Chapter 6 with a bang, introducing players to a sprawling new map, the debut of powerful Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and thrilling bosses to battle. As the season unfolds, the game continues to evolve with new content, including unique items added to the loot pool and exciting new features.

Winterfest has now concluded, marking the first major update for Fortnite Hunters. This update brings back some unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade might catch the eye of some, the Lock On Pistol is another weapon generating buzz among players eager to improve their aim.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol, classified as a Rare rarity weapon, can be found as floor loot or inside chests. Although it's not the rarest item, players may still need to search extensively to find it. Looting as many chests as possible increases your chances of encountering this weapon.

Alternatively, fishing at designated Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod offers a higher chance of obtaining Rare weapons, including the Lock On Pistol. This method can be a strategic approach to acquiring the weapon.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates as a semi-automatic weapon, dealing 25 damage per shot, similar to other pistols in Fortnite. Its unique feature is the Lock-On capability. When aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. If a target remains within this circle, every shot fired will hit the target, as long as they're not behind cover.

This feature is effective against players gliding in the air or hiding in bushes. However, the Lock-On function has a limited range of 50 meters, so players must stay relatively close to their targets. While the pistol can be used effectively when fired from the hip for a "spray and pray" approach, this method does not utilize the Lock-On feature.
