How the heck do you know whether you’re suppose to release or hold the trigger until it shoots? Why would they make it confusing like that for a gun that timing is key?
Well, there’s a little meter in between the crosshairs that takes two seconds to fill, but you have to hold it another second after the meter is full. So basically, you charge it for 3 seconds and then it automatically fires. Unless you have one of the other variants, Arclight can be held indefinitely until you let go, Whiplash is much faster charge time with two shots.

But there’s one that you have to hold until it fires. So its confusing because the timing is hard. One you have to let go. And one you have to hold

With the Railgun (and its other variants), you don’t have to hold the trigger until it “fires itself”, so to speak. It reaches full charge before it does that, so the timing is all in letting go of the trigger when it hits that point. Of course, the risk is that if you misjudge when it reaches full charge and let go of the trigger too soon, it doesn’t fire.

If the meter is full and you don’t see a target just switch weapons (yy) and start over.
Knowing how much to charge and when to release the trigger is very important with the Railgun. Pay close attention to the crosshair as you charge it; when you charge it up long enough, the crosshair will shrink to a smaller size. When that happens, you can release the trigger and fire. This applies to all Railguns, the normal, Whiplash, and Arclight.
The one that you can hold its charge indefinitely is the Arclight railgun variant and it’s supposed to be an advantage since you can fire it when you’re ready instead of having to aim quickly before it fires.
