The railgun is an extremely powerful player-equipped rifle that fires an electromagnetically accelerated projectile at its target, penetrating everything in its path nearly instantly. Railgun ammo is the only type of ammunition it can use. The weapon has a very slow firing rate, but makes up for this with its high damage, meaning the player must make their shots count when facing down hordes of dangerous enemies.

It is also very effective against demolishers, because the railgun can snipe through each individual segment, causing massive damage.
