Am I missing something with the minigun?

MINI GUN NEEDS BUFF ASAP! This is literally the most enjoyable weapon in the game, yet you pay dearly for carrying it. The only situation it’s good in, is when a long claim is happening and you can whip it out. But even then, the pred seems always to eat the shots and then charge at you for being the most dangerous, even with fast hands you can’t put it away on a charge and get ganked.

Come on BUFF Ol’e Painless.

I mean it’s meant to shoot 1000RPM ffs’ this thing should be like shooting iron bars at people. Instead, when I scream CONTAAAAACCCCTTTTT, Poncho just walks up to me and tells me we hit nothing.

The M134 minigun shoots 7.62x51mm bullets at 2000-6000rpm, they seriously need to up the damage on that thing, the spray pattern is fine, because unless it’s mounted on a stationary object, it’s a bitch to control…

I pop masks with mini gun real quick when pred is destructed it’s damage is fine

Yeah, but your damage at range out more than 15-20 meters sucks.

It is a highly situational weapon that’s for sure but melting a predator is fun. Got 2 wins because of it.

They either have to buff the damage a bit or decrease the bullet spread a bit. It’s fun to use sure but if you’re up against a smart pred you’re pretty much fucked.

Very true, it just needs a tweak and it will be a great weapon. The spin up time is absolutely bullshit. Military for 17 years, I have shot the M134 a lot. It’s nowhere near as bad as they made it in this game. I have watched that weapon mow people down in real life on numerous occasions.

I usually just rev it up prior. I know rev isn’t the right word I can’t think of the right one at the moment.

Yeah on the real weapon, the hopper only takes about .5 - 1 second to get fully spinning and you can unleash mayhem. This shits like 3-4.

I liked using the mulcher in Gears so that’s just the tactic I brought over.

I’ve only played the first gears, nothing past that one, even though I own all of them.
