Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit slightly toned down. Despite the damage nerfs, it remains a powerful weapon, potentially game-changing for the right player. Finding one might require a bit of luck, but it's definitely worth the search for those seeking a victory royale. This guide will detail how to obtain the Rail Gun and provide its stats for both Epic and Legendary variants.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun appears in Epic and Legendary rarities. Unlike some weapons, there's no NPC vendor selling it. Your best bet is to scour chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers plenty of loot locations, including the loot caves of Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest. Keep those eyes peeled!

Your only path to a Rail Gun is through the luck of the draw from a chest. Given the abundance of chests, however, your chances aren't too slim. Happy looting!

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

This high-tech rifle fires a single, powerful charged shot, making it effective against enemies even behind cover.

The Rail Gun requires a roughly 3-second charge time (holding the fire button). You can hold the charge for an additional 3 seconds before it automatically fires. Landing shots can be challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of opponents.

While the structure and headshot damage are impressive, the Rail Gun's slow firing rate and difficulty in aiming might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more consistent choice. Ultimately, it's worth experimenting to see if its unique gameplay suits your style.
