Fortnite Hunters has launched Chapter 6 with an explosive start, featuring an expansive map to explore, the introduction of formidable Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and exciting boss battles. As the season unfolds, more content is being rolled out, including unique items added to the loot pool and new features to enhance your gameplay experience.

With Winterfest now behind us, Fortnite Hunters has introduced its first major update, bringing back some fan-favorite unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade is on many players' wish lists, the Lock On Pistol is another weapon that's catching attention due to its unique ability to help players 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. While it's not extremely rare, players might need to open multiple chests to increase their chances of finding this weapon.

Another effective method to obtain the Lock On Pistol is by fishing at designated Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod. These spots boost the likelihood of pulling in a Rare weapon, thus providing a good opportunity to snag the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

The Lock On Pistol operates much like other semi-automatic pistols in Fortnite, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its distinguishing feature is the Lock-On capability. When you aim down sights, a circle appears around your reticle. If your target remains within this circle, every shot you fire will hit them, as long as they're not behind cover.

This feature is particularly useful against players gliding in the air or hiding in bushes. However, the Lock-On function has a limited range of 50 meters, so staying close to your target is essential. For those who prefer a less precise approach, the Lock On Pistol can still be effective when fired from the hip, although this method won't utilize its primary Lock-On feature.

Here's a quick overview of the Lock On Pistol's stats:
