Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit slightly nerfed. Despite the damage reduction, it remains a powerful weapon, potentially game-changing for the right player. Finding it might require a bit of luck, but its unique capabilities make it a worthwhile addition to your arsenal. This guide will cover how to acquire the Rail Gun and detail its stats.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun appears in Epic and Legendary rarities. Unlike some weapons, it's not sold by NPCs. Your best bet is to search chests and floor loot. Chapter 6 Season 1 offers plentiful loot locations, including the loot caves of Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest – these are excellent places to start your search. Essentially, your only method for obtaining a Rail Gun is through the luck of the draw from chests, but with the abundance of loot available, your chances are decent.

This high-tech rifle fires a single, powerful charged shot, making it effective against enemies even behind cover. Charging takes approximately 3 seconds; you can hold the fire button for an additional 3 seconds before the shot automatically fires. The inability to cancel a charge and the need for precise aiming make it challenging to use effectively against mobile targets.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its slow firing rate and difficulty in landing shots make it less reliable than other options, such as a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
