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 impact your chances of victory.

While not excessively rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Its absence from NPC vendors means players must rely on 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.

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 to diligently search chests and floor loot throughout the game map.

The only method to acquire a Rail Gun in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is through the random loot system. With numerous chests scattered across the map, your chances of finding one are reasonable; simply explore and hope for a victory-royale-worthy find.

Rail Gun Statistics in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle; charge it to fire a powerful single shot, effective against enemies behind cover.

The Rail Gun requires approximately a 3-second charge time (holding the fire button), with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Landing shots can be challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of enemy players.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's accuracy challenges might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice for some players. However, its unique gameplay remains engaging and worth experiencing firsthand.
