Rail Gun Stats in Fortnite

• Description: A high-tech rifle that charges up to aim and fire a single powerful shot, ideal for taking down enemies behind walls.

The Rail Gun requires about 3 seconds to charge its shot once the Fire button is held. Players can delay their shot for an additional 3 seconds before the Rail Gun automatically fires. Hitting a shot with the Rail Gun can be tricky, as there's no way to cancel a charging shot, and enemies rarely stand still, especially when targeted by the bright light of the Rail Gun.

While the Rail Gun boasts impressive structure and headshot damage, its difficulty in hitting moving targets might make Heavy Bullets a more reliable choice for a Hunting Rifle. Nevertheless, the Rail Gun remains a fun and challenging weapon to master, offering a unique gameplay experience for those willing to give it a try.
