The Rail Gun, a high-tech weapon from the early days of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7, makes a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 1. Despite some damage nerfs, it remains a formidable choice for players aiming to secure a victory royale amidst the bustling map.

For those eager to add this powerful tool to their arsenal, the Rail Gun isn't elusive, but understanding its acquisition and performance can help players decide if it's the right pick-up during a match.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Securing a Rail Gun in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 involves a bit of luck as it's available in Epic and Legendary rarities. Since no NPCs sell the Rail Gun, players must scour Chests and Floor Loot to find it. With numerous loot sources like the Magic Mosses' loot caves and Nightshift Forest's hidden vaults, your chances of stumbling upon a Rail Gun are quite favorable. Simply keep looting until you strike gold and find this coveted weapon.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• Description: A high-tech rifle that requires charging to fire a single, powerful shot, making it ideal for penetrating walls and taking down enemies hiding behind cover.

Using the Rail Gun requires a 3-second charge time once you start holding the Fire button, with the ability to delay the shot for an additional 3 seconds before it automatically fires. Landing a shot can be challenging due to its lack of cancelability during charge-up, especially when enemies are on the move, dodging the Rail Gun's conspicuous beam.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its slow and loud nature might make Heavy Bullets better suited for a more reliable weapon like the Hunting Rifle. Nevertheless, for those who enjoy its unique mechanics, the Rail Gun offers a fun and potent gameplay experience.
