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, potentially game-changing for those who can master its use.

Finding the Rail Gun isn't overly challenging, but its rarity makes it a sought-after item. This guide details how to acquire it and provides a comparison of 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 search chests and floor loot. The abundance of loot sources in Chapter 6 Season 1, such as Magic Mosses' loot caves and Nightshift Forest's hidden vaults, increases your chances.

Essentially, securing a Rail Gun relies on luck from chest drops, but with numerous chests available, your odds are reasonable. Keep looting and hope for that victory royale-worthy find!

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• A high-tech rifle; charge it to fire a powerful 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, and the need to hit moving targets.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's slow charge and difficulty in hitting targets might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice for some players. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
