The Rail Gun, a powerful weapon from the early days of Chapter 2 Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale, has made a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 1. Though it has undergone some damage nerfs, it remains a coveted choice for players aiming to secure victory against the competition scattered across the map.

Fortunately, acquiring the Rail Gun isn't a daunting task, but understanding the specifics of how to obtain it and reviewing its stats can help players decide if it's a worthwhile addition to their arsenal or if they should opt for a different weapon.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun comes in Epic and Legendary rarities, making it somewhat challenging to find since it's not available for purchase from any NPCs. Players will need to search Chests and Floor Loot to get their hands on this high-tech weapon. In Chapter 6 Season 1, there are numerous loot sources, such as the loot caves in Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults in Nightshift Forest, increasing your chances of finding one.

To obtain a Rail Gun in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, your best bet is to rely on luck by opening Chests. With an abundance of Chests scattered throughout the map, you're likely to stumble upon this prized weapon if you keep looting.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle, the Rail Gun requires charging before firing a single powerful shot, making it excellent for taking out enemies behind walls.

The Rail Gun takes about 3 seconds to charge when players hold the Fire button, and they can delay the shot for an additional 3 seconds before it automatically fires. Landing a shot with the Rail Gun is challenging due to the inability to cancel a charging shot, and enemies often move unpredictably, dodging the conspicuous beam of light.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its difficulty in hitting moving targets might make Heavy Bullets a more reliable choice for weapons like the Hunting Rifle. Despite these challenges, the Rail Gun remains a fun and unique option for players willing to master its use.
