Fortnite Hunters has kicked off Chapter 6 with an explosive start, introducing players to a sprawling map, the debut of formidable Oni Masks and Typhoon Blades, and exciting boss battles. As the season unfolds, the game is enriched with new content, including unique items and engaging features.

With Winterfest now behind us, Fortnite Hunters has rolled out its first significant update, reintroducing cherished items from Chapter 4. While the Kinetic Blade may catch the eye of some, many players are keen on securing the Lock On Pistol—a weapon tailored to enhance accuracy.

How To Get The Lock On Pistol

Obtaining the Lock On Pistol in Fortnite is straightforward, as it's available as floor loot and within chests. Given its Rare classification, stumbling upon the Lock On Pistol shouldn't be too challenging. However, its rarity means players might need to open numerous Chests to increase their chances of finding it.

An alternative method to acquire the Lock On Pistol is by fishing at designated Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod. These spots offer a higher likelihood of yielding Rare weapons, thereby improving your chances of securing the Lock On Pistol.

How To Use The Lock On Pistol

Similar to other pistols in Fortnite, the Lock On Pistol operates as a semi-automatic firearm, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its distinguishing feature is its Lock-On capability. When aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. If a target remains within this circle, every bullet fired will hit the mark—unless the target is behind cover.

This feature is effective against players gliding or concealed in bushes. However, the Lock-On function has a limited range of 50 meters, necessitating close proximity to targets. For those who prefer a more aggressive approach, the Lock On Pistol can be fired from the hip, though this method does not utilize the weapon's primary Lock-On feature.

Here is a quick breakdown of the stats for the Lock On Pistol:
