The Lock On Pistol is a semi-automatic weapon that fires quickly. It has a special tracking system that activates when you aim down sights, marking targets within 50 meters. You can fire up to 4 bullets that are locked onto the target. The 

4th bullet always hits as a critical shot. However, you cannot reload the pistol while aiming.

You can use the Dash Attack three times, and it has a 10-second cooldown. The blade’s durability goes down by 5% each time you use the Dash Attack and by 1% for each Knockback Slash hit.
