Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun re-emerges in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon, potentially game-changing for those who can master it.

Finding the Rail Gun isn't overly challenging, but its rarity makes it a sought-after item. This guide details acquisition methods and provides a statistical overview to help you decide if it's worth your time.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, the Rail Gun isn't sold by NPCs. Your best bet is to search chests and floor loot. The abundance of loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, including Magic Moss loot caves and Nightshift Forest vaults, increases your chances.

Essentially, securing a Rail Gun relies on luck with chest drops. However, the sheer number of chests available makes finding one a reasonable possibility.

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

The Rail Gun's charge time is approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge, forcing players to anticipate enemy movement.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's slow charge and difficulty in hitting targets might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice for some players. Ultimately, its effectiveness depends on individual skill and playstyle. Give it a try – it's certainly a fun weapon to use!
