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 nerf, it remains a powerful weapon that can significantly improve your chances of victory.
While not overly difficult to find, its rarity makes acquiring it a matter of chance. This guide details how to locate this high-tech weapon and provides a comparison of its stats across different rarities.
The Rail Gun appears in Epic and Legendary rarities. Unlike weapons available from NPCs, the Rail Gun is only obtainable from chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers abundant loot locations, including loot caves in Magic Mosses and hidden vaults in Nightshift Forest. Your best bet is to diligently search chests and hope for a lucky drop.
| Rarity | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|
| Damage | 90 | 95 |
| Headshot Damage | 180 | 190 |
| Fire Rate | 1 | 1 |
| Magazine Size | 1 | 1 |
| Reload Time | 2.37 | 2.2 |
| Structure Damage | 525 | 550 |
The Rail Gun requires approximately a 3-second charge time. Players can hold the fire button for an additional 3 seconds before the weapon automatically fires. However, the inability to cancel a charging shot, coupled with enemy movement, makes landing accurate shots challenging.
Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's difficulty to use might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice for some players. Nevertheless, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
