Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a powerful weapon, potentially game-changing for the right player.

While not excessively rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Its power makes it a desirable find, but its absence from NPC vendors necessitates a search through chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers abundant loot locations, including the loot caves of Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, securing a Rail Gun requires luck. Your best bet is to thoroughly search chests and floor loot throughout the game map.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

This high-tech rifle fires a single, powerful charged shot, effective against enemies even behind cover. The charge-up time is approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. The inability to cancel a charging shot, coupled with enemy movement, presents a significant challenge to accuracy.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's difficulty in landing shots means a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets might be a more consistent choice. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
