Making a return from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun reappears in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon for securing victory.

While not excessively rare, its acquisition relies on chance rather than guaranteed vendor purchases. This guide details how to find it and its various stats.

How to Obtain the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, the Rail Gun isn't sold by NPCs. Players must locate it within Chests or as Floor Loot. The abundance of loot sources in Chapter 6 Season 1, including Magic Moss loot caves and Nightshift Forest vaults, increases the odds.

Your best bet is to diligently search Chests throughout the map.

Rail Gun Statistics in Fortnite

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

The Rail Gun requires a roughly 3-second charge time (hold the fire button). A further 3-second hold is possible before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the lack of a charge cancellation option and enemy movement.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's slow firing rate and difficulty in landing shots might make a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more reliable alternative. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
