Follow these Steps to Get the Rail Gun Build in Roblox Tank Game
- Play and level your tank / progress the class tree. Progress Path through the early classes (example names in player guides: Watcher → Intruder → Default Obliterator) until the Rail Gun class unlocks. Keep earning XP by winning matches and destroying enemy tanks.
- Open the Tank Shop (in the hub/garage). The Rail Gun appears in the shop once your progression permits. Locate the Rail Gun listing there.
- Purchase it with Gems. The price as ≈75,000 Gems. If you don’t have enough, use the farming tips below.
- Build & equip: after purchase, go to the Build Menu and select the Rail Gun build (or add the Rail Gun turret to your saved build). Save and play.
Step 1: Exact unlock and purchase steps
- Play matches and earn XP by destroying enemy tanks and completing objectives.
- Specifically, you need to unlock: Watcher → Intruder → Default Obliterator in the class progression tree.
- After reaching Default Obliterator, the Rail Gun class becomes available.
Step 2: Buy the Rail Gun from the Tank Shop
- Go to the Tank Shop in the game’s hub / garage area.
- In the shop, locate the Rail Gun entry in the list of weapons / classes.
- Purchase it by spending your 75,000 Gems.
Step 3: How to farm the 75,000 Gems
- Play matches & complete missions: consistent wins and mission completions give XP and gems. Prioritize modes that give higher gem payouts.
- Use active promo / codes: the game releases codes (rotating) that grant XP boosts / Gems; check code posts or community pages (and the dev’s social links). Apply codes as soon as you get them.
- Daily login / events: participate in limited-time events and daily login bonuses — they often hand out Gems or boost earnings during events.
- Group / referral rewards: some versions give bonuses for joining the game group or inviting players — check the missions screen.
(Tip: farm in short sessions focusing on high-value objectives rather than random grinding — saves time and increases gem/hour.)
Step 4: Equip the Rail Gun Build
- After buying, go to the Build Menu / Build section in your garage.
- Select the Rail Gun build/class from your available builds.
- Optionally, customize the build with modules or attachments (like reload boosters or defensive parts) to optimize performance.
- Save your build setup.
Step 4: Use and Master Your Rail Gun in Battle
- In battles, position yourself at long range so you can snipe targets — the Rail Gun is most effective from distance.
- After firing, use cover effectively, because the Rail Gun has a slow reload / charge-up phase.
- Focus on priority / high-value targets — your shots are powerful but limited, so pick wisely.
- Consider working with teammates: while you’re reloading, more mobile or support tanks can protect you.
Recommended build components
Use the Rail Gun as the main turret; pair it with these hull / support choices:
- Hull: medium/heavy hull with decent health — you’ll still want mobility to reposition after firing.
- Mobility modules: moderate speed or dash module — to retreat after firing.
- Reload / charge modules: anything that reduces reload/charge time (if available) — they directly boost DPS.
- Aim/precision attachments: modules that improve projectile speed or accuracy.
- Defensive: small shield or armor module to survive while reloading (or teammate support drones).
- Secondary weapon (optional): fast-firing low-damage gun or missile to handle close-range threats.
Example concept: Rail Gun + medium hull + reload booster + small shield + mobility booster — you snipe, fire, then dash behind cover to reload.
Playstyle & tactics (how to be effective)
- Positioning: play from high ground or long sightlines. Avoid tight indoor/close-range maps.
- Target priority: pick high-value / low-mobility targets first (heavies, support vehicles, carriers). One hit can remove a major threat.
- Shot discipline: wait for fully charged shots; a premature tap wastes your longest cooldown.
- Peeking & cover: after firing, immediately move behind cover — reload/charge is your vulnerability.
- Team synergy: coordinate with fast teammates who can peel for you or create space while you snipe.
- Lead your shots: at range, aim ahead of moving targets; rail-type projectiles often have travel time.
Counters (how enemies beat you) & how to mitigate
- Close-range flanks / shotgun builds: Rail Gun is weak at close range — keep distance or carry a short-range secondary.
- High mobility bots: players that dodge/GTFO can negate your one-shot — pick slower targets or use teammates to pin.
- Lock-on missiles / spam: if the game has homing missiles, they punish stationary/charging players — use cover and mobility.
- EMP / debuff modules (if present): avoid getting disabled while charging.
FAQ
Q: I can’t see the Rail Gun in the shop after reaching the class—what do I do?
A: Relog, check if you met the exact class/rank requirement (some guides list precise class names), verify the game you’re in (there are several “Tank” games on Roblox) and consult the game’s Discord/wiki for version-specific guidance.
Q: Is the 75,000 Gems price exact?
A: Community guides repeatedly report ~75,000 Gems, but prices can change with updates. If you want, I can fetch the in-game shop tooltip right now (or check the game’s patch notes) and confirm the exact current price.
