Need that extra one up on your opponents in Fortnite and feel like the Lock-On Pistol will help? We have the details on where to find it.
The Lock-On Pistol was introduced way back in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, and has since been vaulted and unvaulted a number of times. Chapter 5 Season 1 saw it be unvaulted, letting players finally utilize its impressive power. Of course, this has led many to wonder where they can locate the gun, as it’ll give them the upper hand in combat. Fortunately, we have the information below on where to find it.
Where to Find the Lock-On Pistol in Fortnite
Players can find the Lock-On Pistol as ground loot, inside chests, by shooting down Supply Drones floating above Hotspots, and by fishing. Unfortunately, it does not have a guaranteed spawn location, and players will need to go out of their way to locate it.
The easiest method to get the Lock-On Pistol in Fortnite is to head to a fishing spot with a rod. It tends to spawn more frequently via fishing than any other method. Fishing areas can be located near water, such as the small lakes near Classy Courts. A barrel of fishing rods can be found on a dock. Once there, grab one and start fishing. Players should be aware that loot generated from fishing is randomized; therefore, they may have to try several times to obtain the gun.
How to Use the Lock-On Pistol in Fortnite
To use the Lock-On Pistol in Fortnite, aim down sights, and you’ll activate a tracking system. If an enemy enters the blue circle that appears on the screen, the pistol will track them. You can then fire at them, which will unload 4 shots, with the fourth shot dealing critical damage. The pistol is most effective at medium range, where it can be used to surprise unsuspecting enemies. However, it can be used at long range, although enemies can leave the tracking reticule a lot quicker from that range.
