- A high-tech rifle; charge it up to aim and fire a single powerful shot, ideal for eliminating enemies behind cover.
The Rail Gun's charging mechanism requires approximately 3 seconds of holding the fire button, with an additional 3-second hold before automatic firing. Accuracy is challenging due to the inability to cancel a charging shot and the constant movement of opponents.
Despite impressive structure and headshot damage, the Rail Gun's low accuracy and slow firing rate make it less reliable than alternatives like a Hunting Rifle with Heavy Bullets. However, its unique gameplay makes it worth experimenting with.
