The Rail Gun, a high-tech marvel from the early days of Chapter 2 Season 7, makes a thrilling comeback in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. Despite some damage nerfs, this weapon remains a potent asset for players looking to dominate the battlefield. If you're aiming to secure that victory royale, integrating the Rail Gun into your loadout could be a game-changer.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Securing the Rail Gun, available in Epic and Legendary rarities, can be a bit of a challenge since no NPCs are selling it. Your best bet is to scour Chests and Floor Loot across the map. With the abundance of loot sources in Chapter 6 Season 1, such as the magical caves of Magic Mosses and the secretive vaults of Nightshift Forest, your chances of finding this prized weapon are quite good. Keep looting, and you might just stumble upon the Rail Gun that could lead you to victory.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• The Rail Gun is a high-tech rifle that charges up to deliver a single, powerful shot, perfect for taking down enemies hiding behind walls.

Using the Rail Gun requires patience; it takes about 3 seconds to charge up once you hold the Fire button. You can hold the shot for an additional 3 seconds before it automatically fires. Landing a shot with the Rail Gun is no easy feat due to the inability to cancel a charging shot and the constant movement of opponents trying to evade your aim.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its slow firing rate and the challenge of hitting a moving target might make some players lean towards using Heavy Bullets in a more reliable Hunting Rifle. Nevertheless, the Rail Gun offers a unique and fun gameplay experience that's definitely worth trying out.
