The Rail Gun, a returning favorite from Chapter 2 Season 7, makes its comeback in Chapter 6 Season 1 of Fortnite Battle Royale. While slightly nerfed, it remains a powerful weapon, capable of turning the tide of battle. This guide will detail how to acquire this high-tech rifle and explore its stats.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Finding the Rail Gun, available in Epic and Legendary rarities, requires a bit of luck. Unlike some weapons, it's not sold by NPCs. Your best bet is to search chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers abundant loot sources, such as the loot caves in Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest. Keep searching those chests; your victory royale might depend on it!

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle; charge it up to aim and fire a single powerful shot, ideal for eliminating enemies behind cover.

The Rail Gun's charge-up time is approximately 3 seconds. Players can hold the fire button for an additional 3 seconds before the weapon automatically fires. However, the lack of a charge cancel mechanism and the constant movement of opponents make landing shots challenging.

Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's slow firing rate and difficulty in aiming might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice for some players. Ultimately, the Rail Gun's effectiveness is subjective; try it out and see if it fits your playstyle!
