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 potent weapon that can significantly improve your chances of victory.

While not excessively rare, the Rail Gun isn't readily available from NPCs. This high-powered weapon is acquired through the usual methods: Chest and Floor Loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers ample loot opportunities, including loot caves and hidden vaults.

How to Obtain the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, finding a Rail Gun requires a bit of luck. Your best bet is systematically searching Chests and Floor Loot throughout the game map.

The Rail Gun's acquisition relies solely on chance from Chests, but the abundance of Chests in Chapter 6 Season 1 increases your odds. Keep searching, and hopefully, victory will be yours!

Rail Gun Statistics in Fortnite

• A technologically advanced rifle; requires charging to fire a single, powerful shot, ideal for eliminating enemies behind cover.

The Rail Gun's charging mechanism takes approximately 3 seconds (holding the Fire button). You can hold the charge for an additional 3 seconds before it automatically fires. Landing a shot proves challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of opponents.

Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's accuracy issues and slow firing rate might make other weapons, such as a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets, a more reliable choice. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
