Fortnite Hunters has kicked off Chapter 6 with an exciting array of new features, including an expansive map to explore, powerful Oni Masks, Typhoon Blades, and thrilling boss battles. As the season unfolds, players are treated to a continuous stream of fresh content, with unique items being added to the loot pool and new features enhancing the gameplay experience.

With Winterfest now behind us, Fortnite Hunters introduces its first major update, bringing back beloved unvaulted items from Chapter 4. While some players might be hunting for the Kinetic Blade, the Lock On Pistol has become a sought-after weapon, designed to help players improve their accuracy.

The Lock On Pistol, classified as a Rare weapon, can be found as floor loot or inside chests throughout the Fortnite map. Although it's considered Rare, players may need to open multiple chests to increase their chances of encountering this unique pistol.

For those looking for an alternative method, fishing at designated Fishing Spots using a Fishing Rod can also yield the Lock On Pistol. These spots are known to increase the likelihood of obtaining Rare weapons, making them a strategic choice for players aiming to secure this item.

The Lock On Pistol operates much like other semi-automatic pistols in Fortnite, delivering 25 damage per shot. Its distinctive feature, however, is the Lock-On capability. When aiming down sights, a circle appears around the reticle. Any target within this circle will be hit by every bullet fired, as long as they remain in view and aren't obscured by cover.

This feature is particularly effective against players gliding through the air or hiding in bushes, but it has a limited effective range of 50 meters, requiring players to engage targets at closer distances.
