How much is the GTA Online Railgun?

You'll need plenty of cash to get your hands on the Railgun in GTA Online. It costs $730,000 which is a considerable amount to spend on a singular weapon.

Is the Railgun good in GTA Online?

Although the Railgun is one of the more unique GTA Online weapons available, its explosions aren't the biggest. However, it can destroy any unarmoured vehicle with ease and comes with a superior reload speed than the rocket launcher.
