Fortnite users consider the new Lock-On Pistol an aimbot gun

Earlier today, Epic Games rolled out an update that introduces a new gun to Fortnite. Dubbed the Lock-On Pistol, the firearm in question can track and lock onto a target’s movements.

TikTok user birdotv showcased the pistol in a quick video, highlighting why it’ll be ideal for “someone with bad aim.”

As demonstrated in the video below, the Lock-On Pistol can lock onto a target up to 50 feet away. It’s also able to continue tracking enemy players when they move into hiding spots like leaf piles.

Unsurprisingly, some Fortnite fans are already skeptical of the Lock-On Pistol. In response to Fortnite leaker HYPEX’s post on the update, one Twitter user wrote, “Now I can have aimbot and not get banned.”

Other comments were quick to identify it as an “aimbot gun.” Said one person in the comments of birdotv’s video, “bro, they made console aim assist a gun.”

The new weapon has also been likened to the Smart Pistol in TitanFall and Skippy in Cyberpunk 2077. Both more or less guarantee direct hits against targets. (Although, Skippy’s effectiveness becomes questionable based on player choice.)

It’ll be interesting to see how Fortnite faithful take to the Lock-On Pistol after it’s been in action for a while.

ABOUT ME
I play Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation (PS4). Watch me to learn how to earn free stuff. My strategy for the game is different than most players: I play for FREE and avoid the Item Shop. I bought the Battlepass in Chapter 2 Season 1 and have played free ever since. I concentrate on completing Challenges and earning Experience Points (XP). Each Season Battlepass gives free skins, items, and V-Bucks for completing level 100+ each season. My previous Channel name was "Historic Traveler" but only posted videos of Fortnite gaming, so I changed it to my username.
