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 offering a decisive advantage in battle.

While not excessively rare, obtaining the Rail Gun requires a bit of luck. Its absence from NPC inventories means players must rely on chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers abundant loot opportunities, including loot caves and hidden vaults.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, finding a Rail Gun is a matter of chance. Explore chests and search floor loot thoroughly; the rich loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, like the Magic Mosses loot caves, increase your odds.

Your best bet is to systematically loot chests, hoping for that victory-royale-worthy find.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

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

The Rail Gun's charge-up time is approximately 3 seconds (hold the fire button), with an additional 3-second window before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel a charging shot and the constant movement of opponents.

Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's accuracy issues and slow firing rate 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.
