The Rail Gun, a returning weapon from Chapter 2 Season 7, makes its comeback in Chapter 6 Season 1 of Fortnite Battle Royale, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon that can significantly aid in achieving victory.
While not exceptionally rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Unlike some weapons available from NPCs, the Rail Gun is only obtainable through 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.

- A high-tech rifle; requires charging to fire a powerful single shot, effective against enemies behind cover.
The Rail Gun's charging mechanism takes approximately 3 seconds, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Its 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 slow firing rate and difficulty in landing shots might make other weapons, such as the Hunting Rifle, a more reliable choice. However, its unique mechanics and high damage potential still make it a worthwhile weapon to experiment with.
