===Incarnon Genesis===

==Tips==
*After the spool up time, it is possible to use the Gorgon in quick short bursts, allowing you to keep up the high rate of fire, but with less recoil and fewer bullets wasted, making the Gorgon usable at medium to medium-long ranges.
*You can retain the 'charge' of the fire rate by sprinting. This way the weapon stops shooting but as long as you keep the fire button held down, the fire rate will not reset and the weapon will resume fast firing once you stop sprinting.
*Use the mod or the Carrier Sentinel equipped with to compensate for lost ammo due to the weapon's high rate of fire consuming ammunition on full spool.
* decreases the spool-up time considerably, though the increased maximum fire rate causes the weapon to burn through ammo reserves extremely quickly. Consider firing in bursts.
* can be used to reduce recoil and make the weapon more steady.
==Trivia==
*In Greek mythology, there are three Gorgons (Γοργών); Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa. Their hair was made of living snakes, and Medusa could turn people into stone by making eye contact.
**The word Gorgon (Γοργώ) is derived from the Greek word "gorgós," meaning "dreadful".
*Before , General Sargas Ruk used it as his primary weapon.
*The box on the right side of the trigger is the magazine, as seen in the current reload animation.
*The Gorgon appears to use a motor-driven feed system and action as there is a sound akin to a motor spinning down when the trigger is released. This may also explain the need to spool up before it reaches the full fire rate.
**As of around , the Gorgon's sound effects have been updated. It does not appear to have the spooling down sound effect anymore.
*Grineer Heavy Gunners have "High damage minigun" written directly on their weapons, although the Gorgon is a light machine gun.
*The words appear just above the trigger, translating to "Not Touc", most likely "Do not touch" with some letters rubbed out.
*The words can be found on the side of the barrel, near the end of the gun translating to "Big Hurt FP4337".
*This weapon was removed from the market in , and its blueprint was only available from Login Rewards tier 2 and 3 prior to . In it was added as a drop to the Arid Heavy Gunner.
*The Arid Heavy Gunner's Gorgon deals mostly rather than .
*It has the second slowest reload speed of all primary rifles, after .
