Killing Floor 2 – Difference Between Primary and Alt Fire for the Railgun

killing-floor-2

The new Sharpshooter perk is out, and with it some new weapons.
I've only had limited experience with the Railgun but to me it seems like the primary and alt fire modes are pretty similar except for maybe locking on to the enemies' weak points.

What are the differences in mechanics between the two fire modes?

That exactly it. The primary fire mode has a locking mechanism you can use, but the secondary fire mode turns that off but does 2x the damage. According to the recent update:

Auto lock-on damage decreased to 375

Manual lock on damage 750
