- Bush Campers (especially end-game) - Aerial Opponents - Invisibility Medallion Player - Shockwave/Katana up + Lock on Even when you use the Holo Twister in most cases, the Lock On Pistol it's a great third weapon to carry imho...
Yeah I could see it being helpful on island with so many ppl flying around, but I also don't have too much trouble hitting gliders within 50m with the holo. Normally a couple beams send them on their way.
If there wasn't any mobility it could make sense, but carrying bunkers, double heals or double movement is usually better. If I was choosing to carry a third weapon, hunting rifle or smg would be more versatile
as a third weapon, yeah thats what its great for. but in a season like this where there is so much great mobility, i feel like im in so much of a disadvantage if i dont carry 2 mobility items. i personally like teleporter + shockwaves. but when i dont find of these i always also carry a sword for mobility. and i would always prefer a sword as mobility over a third gun even tho i personally would never use the sword to fight, but having that extra mobility is just so important to avoid getting completly deleted by the holo ar instantly
@@MrJonathon08 I noticed that the fire oni mask attack will lose the target if the player goes invisible. Does the lock-on effect drop off when the player goes invisible, or can you not lock-on at all?
The lock-on was really fun in CH.4 with web slingers and ODM gear. Hit them once and the fall to their death. Also, it's good with shockwaves and great in squads
recently i thought to play as support in my squad. i gathered chug splashes, healing spirits, bunkers, and some mobility or fire oni mask. i usually kept smg as my main weapon, bc medium ammo was most consumed by my squad. i drove car, chose direction, command actions and lead squad. and it was quite fun tbh. we ain’t got a lot of wins, but we were regularly placed very high at the end, and my team was always full. but it’s just funny way to play, i hoped ill be chill and just let my teammates do all work then heal them, buuuuut no, fortnite is not rpg yet 😂
You can also use the void mask place it down before you get into a fight and if a teammate goes down pick them up teleport then revive in the safe place basically a free revive works wonders in duos
I loved using the Lock-On Pistol in past seasons, but it’d be much better this season if it could lock on without aiming, like Iron Man’s cannon, the current mechanic feels too slow to work
Considering you can spam jump while ADS locking on, this pistol has helped me in a lot of early game scenarios where mobility can be rough and you might be fighting off 3-4 players and taking damage in questionable situations. Great for bush campers and invisibility medallion too, though i'm rarely carrying it an entire game, just early on when AR ammo might be an issue to come by. Also, if you don't ADS, the fire rate fantastic. Very easy to finish someone off with it in close to mid range situations. Also - i'd propose that the strength of this gun in the situations you outlined is not whether or not it can "250 to zero" people. It's for when you absoltuely beam someone or hit them with a beefy pump, but they're using mobility to eject from the situation. The lock-on is basically a guaranteed way to clean up that kill rather than let them get away while you reload.
I follow your lead on the weapons most of the time, and so far this season is no different. I like the pump, holo, 2 mobility (usually mask and sword for me) and heals. I haven’t been able to play since the recent update with lock on and kinetic blade.
Exactly. I always use the lock on pistol whenever I'm bored of using the same stuff every game, if the lock on range was increased to say 75 meters id wanna use it more
Biggest thing for me is if you happen to see it pretty close to island time, you can grab it and get great damage to start a fight vs any third party while you’re taking out the boss because they are gliding
Found it once. Forgot to jump and ended up at a random drop spot. Used it on one guy then dropped it. Too many other things needed this season so it’s hard too find a free spot.
In team fights it's kinda sketchy to have a spray weapon with 12 semi-auto shots, I'd prefer just run holo and katana to get to height, blades can't attack when you're above them
Jake could you make a video featuring some of your defeats and explain where you think it went wrong and what you should/could have done differently to win the fight?
To be honest I use it for fun but if I’m playing to try win I run a Hunting Rifle and Holo or Fury as a follow up with a Typhoon blade for close range or to create distance 😝👌
Personally if I’m sweating I’m not using it but I like the unique gun I vibe a lot and it’s a fun gun tbh very unique and sounds great to shoot and perfect accuracy is fun to
Say what you want about it, but in zero-build its OP against everything, only downside is the fact you kind of have to wait for it to lock onto the target, making you a siting duck
The lock on pistol takes too long to lock on a Enemie, Is more of a beginner Pistol, Is not worth it unless that's the first pistol when you bearly land, The Pistol is better than your pix axe

The lock on does not work on invisible medallion players

3:55 is so funny to think about the enemys thoughts^^
I was trying so hard to get him to push up to the island so I could get clips of locking on to people flying up there 😂
@EvolveJake haha, its always funny to see your videos with information in it and sometimes clips like this🔥
Haven't seen a single one, but have found dozens of Gifts which were apparently vaulted
I too have seen multiple gifts in the past couple days
hush. don't let the devs know.... I like being able to find a full stack of shockwaves from one item.
@@ViileVillain-uv2ew 🤫
@@ViileVillain-uv2ew I'm guessing they're staying until they remove the snow
Same. Seen tons of gifts but no pistols. Lol
Awesome to know bud thank you. Cant wait for the next inside the mind or spectating video

If you're in a squad you can drive while 3 people aim these out the window.. they do not miss.
Yo!
1:17 car jumpscare
That play at 3:43 was great... I was like what's he doing
Thank you for pointing it out lmao that wide right peak was hilarious
lock on pistol topic aside. 3:52 Baiting the player on the mountain with the medalian and then taking him out was a dark strategy holy shitt 🤣
“He’ll eat forever” - Evolve Jake 2025
Lock-On Pistol is just really satisfying to use too. Like sneaking up on someone and just firing a burst of bullets is so nicd
Epic should allow the option to put holo sights on ALL spray weapons. This is how you shake up the meta. I don't understand why they won't do this.
Surgefire smg: existence intensifies
A meta with a scoped Fury AR would be the most obnoxious meta ever, the twister is annoying enough in comp
welp who knows?we might see mod benches got return next season maybe

Lock on plus Holo (a poor man's red-eye) plus kinetic blade? Oh baby it's chapter 4 all over again
I use blade to to go over opp head and swap to lock on pistol
That's probably the only good reason to carry it, I'd say a Surgefire would work too but it has better close range coverage
It's really helpful on the floating island since people keep gliding in trying to third party you with the boss
Cug literally just yiffles about the holo twister every video
Seems pretty rare...have only come across it once so far. But I remember it being good fun if you're in that sort of mood.

It stopped a typhoon melee attack for me earlier !!! Idk,,,, seemed to work good.... Ive never used one before until today
One of my favourite weapons even if it doesn’t melt
The lock on is basically the simple edit of guns
W video as ever Jake
You were doing 100-150 damage per trigger pull. I would say that’s pretty decent.
With the holo twister in the loot pool, hard pass on the lock on. The holo is too good imo.
Holo long range and Fury close range make the lockon useless
Found it once. Forgot to jump and ended up at a random drop spot. Used it on one guy then dropped it. Too many other things needed this season so it’s hard too find a free spot.
Deff worth it in team fights to take out the swordsman

Jake has no defeats.

Lock-on pistol is good for opening tags, like the Fire Mask, but that's it. In my opinion.
that kill😭😭😭😭😭😭 4:00
It was really helpful against the invisible medallion users so I’m def carrying it ❤
8:12 Did they nerf the fire mask? 60 damage there
That was the boss firing it
Lock on is good just takes to long to lock on. I've taken out ppl with it before they get to me with the typhoon blade.
Personally if I’m sweating I’m not using it but I like the unique gun I vibe a lot and it’s a fun gun tbh very unique and sounds great to shoot and perfect accuracy is fun to

Say what you want about it, but in zero-build its OP against everything, only downside is the fact you kind of have to wait for it to lock onto the target, making you a siting duck
I disagree had it today was in tree guys below in car and killed them without seeing them. It's OP as it gets!
I got 4 crown royals in a row , and I haven’t even used it in chapter 4 / 5 !
My favourite weapon
Is anyone having an issue where the lock on pistol will be shooting at a enemy and once their health is low it stops locking on
cap
wym no experience dawg
tis season been out so long
Sick bait there with dropping the medallion and shooting and nothing
The lock on pistol takes too long to lock on a Enemie, Is more of a beginner Pistol, Is not worth it unless that's the first pistol when you bearly land, The Pistol is better than your pix axe
is insane how many people go for the stuff that basically play the game for them
Used it once .will never use it again.,
