Minigun

The **Minigun** is a unique weapon, requiring a small spin-up time before firing a barrage of shots. This makes it useful for suppressing fire and clearing corners, but its windup leaves its wielder vulnerable to surprise attacks.

## Obtaining

* Mole Crate may contain   **Minigun**, with one box of 25  Little Bullets.

## Strategy

The Minigun inflicts devastating damage and has notable suppressing ability, but requires a few moments of windup before it can fire. Movement speed is also drastically reduced while wielding the weapon.

If an opponent's position is known, spin up the barrel in advance and ambush their hiding spot. This strategy is known as pre-charging or pre-firing.

The Minigun has a unique audio cue and a fairly obvious muzzle flash; high caution is advised as it is very likely to attract the attention of several opponents. This puts you at risk of becoming a public target in a crossfire.

Due to the Minigun's extremely low movement speed while wielding the weapon, take precaution against opponents using a Sniper or who are throwing Grenades. Also, be aware of surrounding dead angles to prevent getting ambushed by opponents who use the Shotgun or the SMG.

Pre-charging the Minigun will make it one of the best weapons to eliminate and suppress multiple members of enemy squads, especially if the enemy squad is caught off guard and is surprised, even if they are closing in on the user.

## Damage based on distance

Damage output depends on the distance traveled by a bullet before it hits the target. A bullet fired from the Minigun can travel up to 120 SAU, or 960px.
