Quake 4 Hints

Railgun

  • Damage: 125 per slug
    Clip/Max Ammo: 3 / 50
    First Found: Dispersal Facility

    Another returning favorite from Quake II, the railgun is slow-firing but has very powerful slugs, so it's good to use against large and powerful foes such as gladiators and tanks. It's also good to use for sniping Strogg assault troops from a distance. Note, however, that it doesn't have the power of penetration (allowing you to hit two or more lined-up enemies with one slug) until you get a weapon upgrade for it.
