Targets with 3 or more Locks are Electrocuted by the first Locked-On bullet that damages them. The Electrocute DoT does 12 Electric-element Damage per Second, slows enemies by 80%, and lasts for 3 seconds.
Full Lock adds 20% more Direct Damage to all shots fired during the burst.
Every time you release a Lock-On burst, the last bullet fired emits an aura of Fear to all enemies near you. For every bullet fired during the Lock-On burst, add 0.15 Fear to the aura (ranges from 30% Base Fear Chance at 1 Lock to 375% Base Fear Chance at 24 Locks). The aura's radius starts at 2.4m and each bullet fired during the Lock-On burst increases it by +0.15m (ranges from 2.55m at 1 Lock to 6m at 24 Locks).

Loadout Guide

Engineer Dreadnought Killer Build

Use your Breach Cutter to break armor and expose the weak point of the Dreadnought. Swap to your LOK-1 and full-lock the weakpoint to deal massive damage.

Set-up your turrets in advance and just let them go.

Throw your grenade as well and just let it do its thing.

For Hiveguard, use Breach Cutter to destroy the 3 armor points and swap LOK-1 for the weakspot in the back.

For the Twins, use Breach Cutter to destroy armor coverings to expose for the LOK-1 to be effective.

Alternate versions of Breach Cutter include T2A for more ammo, or taking Stronger Plasma Current with T2A for more ammo without as much damage loss. You could take Return to Sender, but it is a little bit janky to use versus the clean spam of the Breach Cutter at base.
