Skip the Railgun if you prefer fast-paced, high-attack-speed builds or if you struggle to maintain your HP, as taking damage resets its damage bonus.

Veteran

1 build

Railgun’s stacking damage over time synergizes perfectly with careful dodging and Veteran’s missing-HP multiplier. If you can avoid getting hit, Railgun scales into a boss-melting rail cannon that can pierce through elites and big dinos while your supporting weapons clean up smaller enemies.

Wounded

1 build

Railgun is Wounded’s signature weapon and scales strongly with Dodge. It can reach enormous damage over each wave and pierces multiple enemies, but its low base range and slower firing make positioning more demanding. Best used in a dedicated dodge-scaling build once you know boss patterns well.
