The Minigun is a Heavy Weapon that made its debut in Salute Our Troops. Before that though, this gun was teased by the Developers in Summer Camp, within the Facebook Notifications[1]; 11 months before its full release.
Strategy[]
Climbing the ladder with the Battle Ram for reign in the Old Meta; this behemoth is a complete revamp of the Siege Cannon; there is minor loss in accuracy while moving, the agility is heightened, and handlers will feel no vibrations while firing. Better yet, it carries with decent damage, range, accuracy, and agility - an extreme rate of fire - amazing tank, but avoiding going greater, there is damage drop-off and its reload speed is quite slow. Sadly this modern machine is very susceptible to moderate builds.
Although of a different time, this Gatling still reigns in the midrange Run And Gun against causal enemies, and can be used to threaten enemies from Afar, using Suppressive Fire; in tight firefights, it can be used to preemptively fire around or into corners, downing unwanted campers. Mowing down Bows, Assault Weapons, and Launchers can be a stretch.

Trivia[]
- This weapon is the only one that was expected and known to the players before its official release; cue its photo[2].
- This weapon is based on the M134D Minigun, which runs on a power source in real life.
- The M134D in real life is impossible to be carried by a single man alone, and instead may be based on the XM214 "Microgun" which uses the same concept.
- Both of these real-world counterparts are named so due to the fact that they are reduced in payload, ammunition size & cost compared to the gatling weapons of old.
- The M134D in real life is impossible to be carried by a single man alone, and instead may be based on the XM214 "Microgun" which uses the same concept.
- Strangely, this iterations barrels not only don't rotate, but there is also no rev up before ammunition begins to be used; those it's based off of all use a spinning barrel, taking a few seconds to begin.
- While it doesn't have the highest number of skins, it would be featured in three events, back-to-back!
- Those who have the Infamous Captain often use this gun in combination with a glass cannon build, allowing them to break and/or create kill records in Missions; both the daily and weekly.
