The Rail Gun, a formidable weapon introduced in Chapter 2 Season 7 of Fortnite Battle Royale, makes a notable return in Chapter 6 Season 1. Although it has undergone some damage nerfs, the Rail Gun remains a powerful asset that can significantly enhance your loadout, helping you secure victory against other players on the map.

For those eager to add this high-tech weapon to their arsenal, acquiring the Rail Gun isn't overly challenging, but understanding where to find it and its specific stats can be crucial in deciding whether it's worth picking up over other weapons.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun comes in Epic and Legendary rarities, making it somewhat elusive as there are no NPCs selling it. To obtain this weapon, players must rely on Chests and Floor Loot. With an abundance of loot sources in Chapter 6 Season 1, such as the loot caves in Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest, your chances of finding a Rail Gun are quite good. The key is to thoroughly explore and loot as many Chests as possible to increase your odds of securing this powerful weapon.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• Description: The Rail Gun is a high-tech rifle that requires charging before firing a single, powerful shot, making it ideal for penetrating walls and taking down enemies.

The Rail Gun takes approximately 3 seconds to charge its shot once you hold down the Fire button. Players can delay firing for an additional 3 seconds before the weapon automatically discharges. However, hitting a target with the Rail Gun can be challenging due to its inability to cancel a charging shot, especially when enemies are constantly moving to avoid the bright beam of the weapon.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its difficulty in hitting moving targets may lead some players to prefer the reliability of a Hunting Rifle using Heavy Bullets. Nonetheless, for those who enjoy the thrill and challenge of mastering the Rail Gun, it remains a fun and rewarding weapon to use in Fortnite.
