With the excitement of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, players are in for a treat as the Rail Gun makes its electrifying return, coinciding with the much-anticipated arrival of Godzilla on January 17th.
Originally introduced in Chapter 2, Season 7, the Rail Gun is known for its powerful heavy ammo capabilities—delivering significant damage when wielded skillfully. Its comeback has sparked a new challenge: using the Rail Gun to inflict damage on the fearsome kaiju. However, snagging one can be tricky since it doesn’t have a guaranteed spawn point.
So, how can you get your hands on the Rail Gun in Fortnite, and just as importantly, how should you wield it?
### How to Find the Rail Gun in Fortnite
Locating the Rail Gun takes a bit of luck, as it’s randomly distributed among chest drops and floor loot. Without a set spot to grab one in Chapter 6, Season 1, your best approach is to explore areas rich in chests. Popular hotspots include Twilight Forest, Kappa Kappa Factory, and Masked Meadows, where the loot flows abundantly, increasing your chances of discovery.
### Mastering the Rail Gun in Fortnite
The Rail Gun isn’t your average firearm, demanding a unique approach to use effectively.
To make the most of it, you’ll need to charge the weapon fully before firing. While it’s possible to shoot prematurely, doing so results in reduced damage output. However, heed caution—charging your weapon emits a noticeable red beam, making your position known to nearby foes.
Intriguingly, the Rail Gun functions as a hit scan weapon, capable of penetrating through a single structure. Plus, acquiring a Void Boon is crucial, as it reveals enemies’ positions once you’ve downed an opponent, granting strategic advantages for slick shots through obstacles.
Embrace the chaos of the season and strap in for the challenge of mastering the Rail Gun, turning formidable foes into mere stepping stones on your path to victory.
