There's no way to view this in-game and it's never going to be added back in again.
Information is definitely out-dated, and you shouldn't really take it to heart.

Summary

The Railgun was the most powerful sniper rifle in R2DA.

It instantly killed any mob at the time with a clean headshot, besides a Brute, was insanely accurate and also had a huge range. Even then, three headshots were enough to kill a Brute. The only real disadvantage to the Railgun was the relatively slow firerate and the minuscule amount of ammo within a magazine. This issue was easily remedied by a reliable secondary.

Due to abuse from the Moderator team, the Railgun was eventually replaced by the much less powerful FATAL5.

Background Story

It is not very well known exactly how long this weapon has been under development by K177 scientists.

Rumours spread across the world rather slowly due to the average survivor's very little interest in the company, even if they had very advanced technology. Many said that it was a prototype even before the SANI outbreak begun, pointing out that it's possible it had been in development for years. Although the Railgun was extremely powerful, many feared that if this became a common weapon, zombies would become the least of society's problems. Thus, only thirteen elite survivors were given access to the prototype weapon.

Eventually, survivors noticed that the power of the weapon began to get to the head of many of the chosen, so it had to be forcefully taken by the scientists and later given back. A single modification changed how the weapon worked: the coolants were removed. As such, it took four times as long for the Railgun to be ready to dispatch a Concentrated Electromagnetic D.U. Sabot. When this proved as an inadequate lesson, it mysteriously disappeared overnight to never be seen again. Since then, the FATAL5 has been given out as an impromptu replacement.

The name of the prototype is "Basilisk XS1", but people call it the Railgun instead.

Tips

  • Aiming is crucial when wielding the Railgun since it takes a long time to reload or even shoot again.
  • With a nice headshot, you can instantly kill a Ticker.
  • The Railgun's accuracy isn't perfect, so prevent doing too long range shots since you're likely to miss it.
  • A laser shot can pierce through zombies, so if you ever find zombies conveniently lining up, take the shot!
    • You can also penetrate certain walls, but not all walls. Thin walls can be penetrated but thicker walls cannot be penetrated.
