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. Among the additions is the intriguing Lock-On Pistol, a weapon designed for precision shots. This guide will cover how to obtain and effectively utilize this unique firearm.
How to Get the Lock-On Pistol

The Lock-On Pistol, like other Fortnite weapons, can be found as floor loot or inside chests. Its Rare rarity makes it relatively common, but diligent looting is still recommended. Alternatively, fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod offers a decent chance of acquiring Rare weapons, 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 unique feature is its lock-on capability. While aiming down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. Any target within this circle will be automatically hit by your shots, regardless of whether they are gliding, in bushes, or otherwise exposed (provided they aren't using cover).
The lock-on functionality has a 50-meter range, necessitating close-quarters combat. Hip-firing is possible, but disables the lock-on feature.
