The Rail Gun, a high-tech weapon from the early days of Chapter 2 Season 7, has made a comeback in Fortnite Battle Royale during Chapter 6 Season 1. Although it has undergone some damage nerfs, it remains a formidable choice for players aiming to secure victory amidst the competition on the map.

Fortunately, acquiring the Rail Gun isn't overly challenging, but players might be curious about the specifics of obtaining it and understanding the stats of its various rarities. This knowledge can help them decide whether to keep it in their arsenal or swap it for another weapon.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun is available in Epic and Legendary rarities, making it somewhat elusive since no NPC sells it. Players must rely on Chests and Floor Loot to find it. 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.

To obtain a Rail Gun in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, players need to get lucky with a Chest. However, with an abundance of Chests available, the chances of finding one are quite favorable. Keep looting and hope that the Rail Gun, worthy of a victory royale, comes your way.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle; charge it up to aim and fire a single powerful shot, ideal for dealing with enemies behind walls.

The Rail Gun requires about 3 seconds to charge its shot once players hold the Fire button, and they can delay their shot for an additional 3 seconds before the Rail Gun automatically fires. Landing a shot with the Rail Gun can be tricky, as there's no way to cancel a charging shot, and enemies tend to move unpredictably, making it hard to hit them with the bright light of the Rail Gun aimed at them.

Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's difficulty in hitting targets might make Heavy Bullets a more reliable choice for a Hunting Rifle. However, players are encouraged to experiment with the Rail Gun, as it can still be a fun and rewarding weapon to use.
