Making a return from Chapter 2 Season 7, the Rail Gun is back in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, though with slightly reduced damage. Despite the nerf, it remains a potent weapon for securing victory.

While not exceptionally rare, the Rail Gun's acquisition relies on chance. Its absence from NPC vendors means players must rely on 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.
