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 its unique capabilities make it worth the search. This guide details how to acquire the Rail Gun and provides a breakdown of its stats.

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 scour Chests and Floor Loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers ample loot opportunities, including the loot caves of Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest. Keep your eyes peeled—a little luck is all you need to add this powerful weapon to your arsenal.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

This high-tech rifle fires a single, powerful charged shot, making it ideal for eliminating enemies even behind cover. Charging takes approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. The inability to cancel a charge and the need for precise aiming due to enemy movement make it challenging to master. While the high structure and headshot damage are attractive, the slow firing rate and difficulty of landing shots might make other weapons, like a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets, a more reliable choice for some players. Ultimately, the Rail Gun's effectiveness depends on individual playstyle and preference.
