On January 17th, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 got a thrilling update with the return of the Rail Gun alongside Godzilla’s epic arrival.
The Rail Gun, which first made its debut in Chapter 2 Season 7, is back in action. This powerhouse weapon, firing heavy ammo, can cause serious damage if you know how to wield it. This time around, players face the added challenge of using it to tackle the fierce kaiju. But here’s the kicker: tracking it down is no walk in the park, as it doesn’t spawn at designated spots.
If you’re on the hunt for the Rail Gun, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled in a few key areas. Look for it among chest drops or scattered as floor loot. There’s no guaranteed spot to find it in Chapter 6 Season 1, though your chances improve by exploring places rich with chests like Twilight Forest, Kappa Kappa Factory, and Masked Meadows.
Using the Rail Gun in Fortnite is a bit of a different beast compared to the other firearms in the game.
Mastering the Rail Gun involves charging up your shots before firing. While you can pull the trigger sooner, doing so sacrifices some damage. Be aware, though, when you’re revving up for a powerful shot—it emits a telltale red beam visible to fellow players, making you a target.
What sets the Rail Gun apart is its hit scan capability, allowing it to puncture through a single structure. Keep an eye out for a Void Boon, as this gives you a tactical advantage by revealing enemy positions after you’ve knocked someone down, offering a chance to land shots through walls.
