The Rail Gun is the Sharpshooter's tier 4 weapon. It is a single shot high power sniper rifle capable of either automatically locking onto target's vulnerable hit zones such as head at cost of halved damage (default mode on pickup or purchase) or of free firing like M99, without guidance but while doing full damage.

Description

"Fire mode is single shot only. Using the sight lets you lock on to vulnerable spots on your target."

Notes

  • In lock-on mode this weapon has no projectile in ZED Time (hits instantly).
  • Amount of recoil depend on player stance and movement. Crouching and aiming down the sights gives the lowest possible amount of the recoil.

Strategy

The alt-fire button toggles the Rail Gun between guided and unguided aiming modes. Guided mode makes you automatically lock onto the ZEDs' weak points, but unguided mode does twice the damage.

When upgraded, leaves no room in inventory for backup weapons such as LAR or SPX. Consider updated .500 Magnums and 9mms instead.
