Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun re-emerges in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon, potentially offering a decisive advantage in battle.

While not exceptionally rare, its acquisition relies on chance. Let's explore how to find this powerful weapon and examine 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. The abundance of loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, including Magic Mosses' loot caves and Nightshift Forest's hidden vaults, increases your chances.

Essentially, securing a Rail Gun hinges on luck when searching Chests. Given the plentiful supply of Chests, persistent looting should eventually yield results.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle; charge to aim and 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. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge, forcing players to contend with constantly moving targets.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, its low fire rate and difficulty in landing shots make it less reliable than other options, such as the Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
