Minigun

The Minigun is a Machine Gun Primary Weapon. It can be purchased for 450,000 Credits on PC and 1000 gold on mobile.

## Description

This overpowered weapon has the most capacity out of any gun in the game at 450 (520 with extended!!!) rounds, so you rarely need to reload. It boasts excellent damage per second due to its incredible fire rate of 900 RPM and high damage but its recoil is difficult to control. You cannot aim down with this weapon, making it horrible at long-range combat. Crouching, however, does slightly increase accuracy.

The only things you can customize this weapon with are camos. All Scopes, Sights and Barrel Attachments are not available. It also comes with the Gold skin.

## Strategies and tactic

The Minigun is most effective when used for two purposes: close quarters spraying and suppressive fire. This weapon is most effective at short range. While taking cover - whether behind obstacles or teamates - sneak up on enemies. When you're close enough, surprise them and spray them. After a few seconds of continuous fire, if the enemy manages to survive by hiding behind obstacles or jumping around, release the trigger and the gun will be stable almost instantly. Resume spraying. With its amazing fire rate, this weapon is also pretty effective at suppressive fire. Spray in the general direction of enemies taking cover to stop them from coming out of their cover. This might not kill them, but will hit them and give time for your other teammates to advance. In maps such as office, you can shoot through softer walls and get wallbangs. The minigun is great for this as well, due to it's insane ammo capacity.

## Pros

* **Second highest DPS in the game**
* Highest ammo capacity in the game (clip size & extra "mags")
* Almost instant recoil recovery
* OK hip fire, but accuracy isn't a big problem when pumping out bullets at such a fire rate for 20 seconds straight, without having to reload
* Shreds through enemies at lightning speed
* Spray firing at a cluster of enemies up close can kill them all extremely quickly, and bullet flinch will prevent them from properly aiming at you before being killed
* Shooting and hitting first in close range 1v1 gunfights will almost always guarantee victory
* OP in some close quarters/chokepoint maps
* Great in conquest, where you can spray at spawns and farm kills
* Camping is considered bad, but this is a good weapon for running around and camping spawns, especially in conquest (not like you should but still)
* Great weapon against knifers, as spraying all around you will kill them before they get a chance to knife
* (Style points) Character does an evil laugh and says "die die die" when reloading

## Cons

* With all of these pros, it is obvious this weapon is overpowered. The Minigun is very easy to use, takes no skill and most users face backlash
* Unlike most guns, this gun does not have the ability to aim down sights which makes shots a lot less accurate
* Very hard to use in some long-range maps
* Loud firing sounds can attract attention, which will give away your location, and will especially affect campers
* Barely customizable
* Often a 4-shot, which is hard to do at medium range unless you *really* lay it on 'em (and even so you risk getting 3-shot by a reliable AR)
* As a gold gun, it is banned in tournaments, ranked matches and clan scrimmages

## Trivia

* "Minigun" is a term that is popularly used to refer to any multi-barrel, rotary machine gun/autocannon. The term originates from the M134 Minigun.
* In real life, the M134 has a fire rate that ranges from 2000 to an insane 6000 RPM. Strangely, the Minigun in the game only has a fire rate of 900 RPM.
* Despite being a massive machine gun, this weapon does not sound like a minigun at all, it rather sounds flat and supressed
