The railway rifle is a ranged weapon in Fallout 76.
Characteristics[]
The railway rifle is a unique weapon in that it fires railway spikes (once used to secure rails to the wooden ties to make tracks) at enemies with a high damage output from each shot. When reloaded, the spikes are loaded through a slot in the receiver's top section, and the weapon makes a sound similar to a train whistle when it is ready to fire again once reloaded. Utility Protectrons found in Site Alpha, Site Bravo, and Site Charlie are armed with nailguns that work similarly to the railway rifle when fired from their hands.
The railway rifle has an exceptionally high recoil, especially when automated, but the AP cost is very low. The Explosive legendary effect makes the projectiles fired from the rifle travel considerably faster.
