Making a comeback from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun returns in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, albeit with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerfs, it remains a potent weapon capable of securing victory.
While not excessively rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Its high-powered nature makes it a sought-after item.
How to Get the Rail Gun in Fortnite
Available in Epic and Legendary rarities, the Rail Gun isn't sold by NPCs. Your best bet is to search chests and floor loot. The abundance of loot locations in Chapter 6 Season 1, including loot caves and hidden vaults, increases your chances.
Essentially, obtaining a Rail Gun is a matter of luck with chest drops. However, the sheer number of chests available makes finding one a reasonable expectation.

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 accuracy issues and slow firing rate might make other weapons, such as a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets, a more reliable choice. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
