Fortnite players say new Lock-On Pistol is basically an aimbot gun Epic GamesA server-side update recently introduced the Lock-On Pistol to Fortnite, which some players are already calling an aimbot gun. As fun as Fortnite can be, there are those who find the moment-to-moment action a little difficult to manage. After all, aiming and firing off shots in the heat of battle requires a decent amount of skill, especially for console players. Features like aim assist were designed to help in this regard. However, console users who find themselves up against PC players in cross-play sessions may still feel at a disadvantage. The jury\u2019s out on whether Fortnite\u2019s newest weapon will prove even more beneficial to those who want a little more assistance. 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\u2019s movements. TikTok user birdotv showcased the pistol in a quick video, highlighting why it\u2019ll be ideal for \u201csomeone with bad aim.\u201d As demonstrated in the video below, the Lock-On Pistol can lock onto a target up to 50 feet away. It\u2019s 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\u2019s post on the update, one Twitter user wrote, \u201cNow I can have aimbot and not get banned.\u201d Other comments were quick to identify it as an \u201caimbot gun.\u201d Said one person in the comments of birdotv\u2019s video, \u201cbro, they made console aim assist a gun.\u201d 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\u2019s effectiveness becomes questionable based on player choice.) It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Fortnite faithful take to the Lock-On Pistol after it\u2019s been in action for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
