Minigun/OG

Functionality[]

The Minigun has no magazine limit, fires much faster than other Assault Weapons, and has a cooldown period if fired for too long. The cooldown period exists to balance the lack of a magazine. The minigun is not very accurate, and has a spin up timer, which means the player cannot fire it instantly.

The Minigun is a Hitscan weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire. This spread is decreased whilst crouching.

As it has an infinite magazine size, the reload time refers to how long the weapon takes to cooldown when fired for too long.

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Due to the high DPS of the Minigun, it is very useful for knocking down buildings.
• The Minigun consumes a lot of ammo quickly, so make sure you have plenty of ammo before engaging an enemy.
• The Minigun does not need to be reloaded, so when you do not need to shoot, wait for it to cool down by holding it out or using a different weapon.
• Miniguns can be effective when paired with sniper rifles, marksman rifles, or assault rifles with scopes. Use the Minigun for close-to-medium-range encounters, and use the sniper rifles, marksman rifles, or the Scoped Assault Rifle for longer ranged engagements.
• Keep in mind that the Minigun uses Light Bullets, meaning it uses the ammo usually reserved for SMGs and pistols. As such, keep track of your ammo count while using SMGs or pistols and a Minigun in the same loadout.
  • However, the Minigun itself is more of an SMG than an assault weapon, as it has a fire rate similar to an SMG.

Counters[]

• The Minigun can be countered with a Shield Bubble or Shield Bubble Jr., as they can deflect all bullets for a period of time, forcing the opponent to get in point blank range.
• An Assault Rifle with a red-dot or scope function can heavy counter the Minigun, as while it may be decent at range, it still has spread: a scoped weapon doesn't.

Weapon ID[]

The Minigun is referred to as Figment Assault LMG in the files.
