Making a return from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun reappears in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a powerful weapon that can significantly aid in securing victory.

While not exceptionally rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Its absence from NPC vendors necessitates searching chests and floor loot. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers abundant loot locations, including the loot caves of Magic Mosses and the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest.

How to Acquire the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, finding a Rail Gun requires a bit of luck. Focus your looting efforts on chests, hoping for a lucky drop. The abundance of loot sources in this season increases your chances.

Rail Gun Statistics in Fortnite

Rarity Epic Legendary
Damage 90 95
Headshot DMG 180 190
Fire Rate 1 1
Magazine Size 1 1
Reload Time 2.37 2.2
Structure DMG 525 550
  • A high-tech rifle; charge to fire a powerful shot, effective against enemies behind cover.

The Rail Gun's charge time is approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold 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 low fire rate and difficulty in landing shots make it less reliable than other options, such as a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
