cg_railTrailTime

The time (in milliseconds) that rail trails linger in the air. Lowering this clears the screen faster, but 1500ms acts as a perfectly synchronized visual metronome (the exact time it takes for the Railgun to reload).

💡

Pro Tip

Set to 1500ms — the trail lasts exactly as long as the railgun reload, turning every shot into a perfect visual timer so you know when you’re ready to fire again without looking at the weapon icon.
