To get this railgun, you will need to edit one text files. No specific software exept your text editor.

Go to this location

englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk\scripts\weapons

Open the file mp_titanweapon_sniper.txt with your text editor.

Find and replace the following values in your file. Note: Do not copy paste this entire code block into your original file, replace string by string or you might resolve with a none working file.

Thoose value change the railgun projectile to a blue one for regular shot and to gravity vortex for the full charged shots.

"projectile_trail_effect_0"				"wpn_grenade_frag_blue"
"projectile_trail_effect_1"				"wpn_grenade_frag_blue"
"projectile_trail_effect_2"				"P_wpn_grenade_gravity"

Those values change the muzzle flash to an electric one. note: muzzle flash apply when you shoot, this is not the vortex effect when you charge the railgun.
