With new updates comes new content, ideally. And while Fortnite may be somewhat of an acquired taste, no doubt introducing new content in the form of weapons, skins, maps, gameplay mechanics, and even some unique emotes is what Fortnite does best.

One of the most well-known shooting mechanics, the homing bullets, comes in the form of the Lock On Pistol in Fortnite. Where is it? Don’t worry; continue reading to know where to find a Lock On Pistol in Fortnite.
Where to Find a Lock On Pistol in Fortnite
So, there are some good news and bad news. The bad news is that where and when you get a Lock On Pistol falls to the hands of the RNG gods, which means that there is no exact way you can guarantee a Lock On Pistol drop. The good news is that, with the random factor in mind, we can exploit it to find the best places across the map to increase your chances to secure a Lock On Pistol. As with any other weapon, you will find the Lock On Pistol as ground loot and inside chests and supply drops.
To maximize your chances of getting the Pistol, you will want to travel to Points of Interest that are located across the map. Why? Well, because these POIs spawn quite a decent amount of chests. The best POIs on the map are Mega City and Anvil Square, which contain 118 and 54 chests, respectively. This means that landing close to these spots is a must, so make sure to pick the best landing location possible. You can find the POI’s locations below.
How to Use the Lock On Pistol in Fortnite
Once you get your Lock On Pistol, getting to use it is quite easy. Since it is a pistol, the best use for it will be while close to your enemy, even better if you attack stealthily. All you have to do is, while close to your enemy, aim with your pistol and have the enemy in the middle of your reticle. This will bring forth a maximum of four pink arrows, representing how many bullets will lock on the enemy and, once fired, will hit their target. If you are in a pickle, you can also use it as a regular weapon and spam your shots without the homing bullets.
