The Rail Gun, a Fortnite Battle Royale veteran from Chapter 2 Season 7, makes a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a powerful weapon, potentially tipping the scales in your favor.
While not excessively rare, its absence from NPC vendors means you'll need to rely on your looting skills. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 offers plentiful opportunities, from the loot caves of Magic Mosses to the hidden vaults of Nightshift Forest.
Found in Epic and Legendary rarities, the Rail Gun requires a bit of luck. Forget NPC shops; your best bet is scouring Chests and Floor Loot. With abundant loot sources available, keep searching—that victory royale might just depend on finding one.

This high-tech rifle fires a single, powerful shot after a charge-up. Ideal for eliminating enemies behind cover.
Charging takes approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. The inability to cancel a charging shot, combined with enemy movement, makes landing hits challenging.
Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's slow charge and single-shot nature make it less reliable than other options, such as a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth trying out.
