If you're aiming for that victory royale, adding the Rail Gun to your arsenal could be a game-changer.

How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite

The Rail Gun can be found in Epic and Legendary rarities, making it a bit of a challenge to come by. Unlike other weapons, there's no NPC selling the Rail Gun, so you'll need to rely on Chests and Floor Loot to snag one. Fortunately, Chapter 6 Season 1 is brimming with loot sources, from the magical caves of Magic Mosses to the secretive vaults in Nightshift Forest.

To get your hands on a Rail Gun, your best bet is to scour the map for Chests. With an abundance of them, you're likely to find one that holds this coveted weapon. So, gear up and start looting—your victory might just depend on it.

• A high-tech rifle; charge it up to aim and fire a single powerful shot, great for dealing with enemies behind walls.

The Rail Gun requires about 3 seconds to charge its shot once you hold the Fire button, and you can delay the shot for an additional 3 seconds before it fires automatically. Landing a hit with the Rail Gun is challenging due to the inability to cancel a charging shot and the constant movement of enemies, who rarely stay still when they see the bright light of the Rail Gun aiming at them.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its slow and loud nature can make it tricky to use effectively. For those looking for a more reliable option, Heavy Bullets might be better spent on a Hunting Rifle. However, don't let that deter you from giving the Rail Gun a try—it's still a fun and powerful weapon to master.
