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 the right player.

Finding this powerful weapon isn't overly challenging, but its rarity makes it a sought-after item. This guide details how to acquire the Rail Gun and provides its stats for both Epic and Legendary variants.

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 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 loot. Given the plentiful chests available, persistent searching should eventually yield results.

The Rail Gun's charged shot takes approximately 3 seconds. You can hold the charge for an additional 3 seconds before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel the charge and the constant movement of opponents.

While boasting impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's accuracy issues might make a reliable Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets a more practical choice. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
