How to get the gun lock
The Lock On Pistol, just like any other weapon Fortnitecan be encountered both as loot on the ground and found inside chests. Since the weapon is of rare rarity, coming across the Lock On Pistol shouldn't be too difficult. However, finding the gun locked in this way can still be a rare occurrence, requiring players to loot as many chests as possible to find the weapon.
Another way to acquire the Lock On Pistol is through fishing in fishing spots with a fishing rod. Since fishing points offer a higher chance of rewarding players with a rare weapon, they can offer a decent chance of finding the item.
How to use the gun lock
The Lock On Pistol works similarly to many other pistols introduced in Fortniteacting as a semi-automatic weapon that deals 25 damage per shot. However, its main feature, as the name suggests, is its Lockout functionality. When players aim with the Lock On Pistol, a A circle appears around the graticule. As long as a target is within this circle while aiming down sights, all bullets fired from the weapon will hit the target– provided the target does not use cover.
This also applies to players who slide through the air or hide in bushes. However, the The Lock-On function has an effective range of only 50 metersrequiring players to stay relatively close to their objectives. For players who want to spray and pray, the Lock On Pistol works quite well even when fired from the hip. However, using it in this way will not allow players to take advantage of the weapon's main feature.
