The Rail Gun, a fan-favorite from the early days of Chapter 2 Season 7 in Fortnite Battle Royale, makes a thrilling return in Chapter 6 Season 1. While it comes with some damage nerfs, it remains a formidable weapon that can be a game-changer in your quest for victory. If you're eager to add this high-tech weapon to your arsenal, you're in the right place to learn how to obtain it and understand its stats.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

Finding the Rail Gun isn't a walk in the park, but it's certainly achievable. Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, you won't find an NPC selling this sought-after weapon. Instead, your best bet is to scour Chests and Floor Loot across the map. Chapter 6 Season 1 offers numerous loot sources, including the treasure-laden caves of Magic Mosses and the secretive vaults of Nightshift Forest.

Your only chance to snag a Rail Gun in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is through luck from a Chest. With an abundance of Chests scattered around, keep looting and hope that the next one yields a Rail Gun, setting you up for a victory royale.

Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

The Rail Gun is a high-tech rifle that packs a punch. It requires about 3 seconds to charge its shot once you hold the Fire button, and you can hold the charge for an additional 3 seconds before it fires automatically. Landing a shot with the Rail Gun can be tricky due to its lack of shot cancellation and the constant movement of enemies. They rarely stand still, making it challenging to line up that perfect shot amidst the bright glow of the Rail Gun.

Despite its impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's difficulty in hitting targets might make Heavy Bullets a more reliable choice for weapons like the Hunting Rifle. However, don't let that deter you from giving the Rail Gun a try—it's a unique and enjoyable weapon to master.
