Rail Gun

Functionality[]

The Rail Gun is a single-shot sniper rifle that needs to be charge for atleast 1.25 seconds to be fired. While the weapon is charging, it emits a red beam that can be seen by the user and other players. The Rail Gun deals very high structure damage and its shots can pierce through a single structure without losing damage.

The Rail Gun will always shoot from the center of the screen. Aiming down sights drastically increases zoom, removes weapon sway, and displays an overlay with a charge bar. The weapon does a small amount knockback to players and high amount of knockback to Vehicles.

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• In combination with a Recon Scanner or a Shakedown the Rail Gun can be utilized to attack enemies through structures, as both of these functions mark players through structures, and the Rail Gun is a piercing attack.
• It is able to destroy 2 structures in on blast, making it good against enemies gaining cover.
• It is able to shoot through indestructible surfaces, such as:
  • Crashed Abductors’ remnants.
  • The floor at Corny Complex.
  • Reboot Vans.
  • Guardian Towers.
  • The barrier surrounding Stealthy Stronghold.
  • Invisible barriers in Creative.
• It is highly useful against Saucers.
• Assuming adequate skill, aiming into the ground for around a second long before lining up your shot can somewhat nullify the red beam projecting your shot, giving enemies less time to react. This does make accuracy somewhat inconsistent, however.

Counters[]

• Carrying mobility items such as Shockwave Grenades or a Kinetic Blade can be beneficial in an engagement with an opponent wielding a Rail Gun, as you can use said items to evade your opponents shots.
• Due to the long charge time and very visible beam, Rail Gun shots are very easy to predict and evade.

Weapon ID[]

The Rail Gun is referred to as Assault Dragon Cart Scoped in the files.
