With the gun\u2019s return, it\u2019s paired with a challenge where you must deal damage to the deadly kaiju while using it. However, it can be pretty difficult to find as it doesn\u2019t have a fixed spawn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Here\u2019s how to get the Rail Gun and how to use it in <em>Fornite<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get the Rail Gun in Fortnite<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Rail Gun can be found as a <strong>drop from chests and floor loot<\/strong>. Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t a fixed location to pick up a Rail Gun in Chapter 6 Season 1, so your best bet at finding one is to <strong>head to a location with high chest density<\/strong> like Twilight Forest, Kappa Kappa Factory, and Masked Meadows.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the Rail Gun in Fortnite<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/how-to-get-the-rail-gun-in-fortnite-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Rail Gun acts a little differently when compared to the other guns in <em>Fortnite<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When firing the Rail Gun, you must charge the shot to deal damage. You can unleash the shot early, but the shot will deal less damage. Be wary when charging the Rail Gun as it will emit a red beam that is visible to other players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Additionally, the Rail Gun is a hit scan weapon that is capable of piercing through one structure. Keep an eye out for a Void Boon as it\u2019ll allow you to see other players\u2019 positions after you knock an enemy \u2014 giving you a free shot through walls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/fortnite-guide\/510530\/rail-gun-how-to-get\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rail Gun has returned to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 with the arrival of Godzilla on Jan. 17.
