+ | == Description == | ||
+ | Heavy weapon belonging to the [[Mechanoid]] category. Fires a large barrage of bullets after a long warmup time. | ||
== Acquisition == | == Acquisition == | ||
− | + | The minigun can be crafted at a [[Machining table]] after researching [[Research|Multibarrel weapons]], salvaged from [[Mechanoid#Centipede|Centipedes]] or occasionally dropped by [[Raider#Heavy mercenary|heavy mercenary raiders]]. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | == Analysis == | |
− | + | Miniguns are excellent crowd control weapons. Their miss radius and extremely high DPS are valuable assets when it comes to crowd control, especially in later game when there are many more enemies in raids. | |
− | + | If you manage to get multiple miniguns to your name, you could possibly have a great deal of firepower on your side, but also a high risk of collateral damage if within your base, dependent on setup. | |

− | |||
− | + | The minigun is even more powerful if equipped on [[Traits|trigger-happy]] colonists, as they have a 50% reduced warm-up time, allowing them to fire much faster; the accuracy penalty is completely irrelevant for this weapon as it has a forced miss radius. This forced miss radius won't change whether the minigun is worn-out and of awful quality, or pristine and legendary; quality also bears absolutely no relevance to miniguns unless at point-blank, and lower quality will actually be better because they won't affect colony wealth as much. | |
− | |||
− | + | Despite all this, it may be impractical to use outside of point-blank to very close range combat (even with higher qualities), or against single or highly spread out targets due to the forced miss radius. | |
+ | Sometimes it may be a better idea to sell it to suppliers who will pay quite some money for one, or smelt it for a little steel. | ||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | A single centipede armed with a minigun is almost trivial to deal with if engaged at even medium range and behind a wall or sandbags, simply spreading out sufficiently, or distracted with lone colonists; stack up multiple miniguns with [[Inferno cannon]]s and [[Heavy charge blaster]]s and things can quickly get out of hand without killzoning, (ideally at least 6) mortars or just outright raw firepower. | |
− | + | == Usage == | |
+ | The minigun is a good weapon against entrenched raiders packed closely together. Due to its radius and high DPS it can hit multiple raiders at once, rapidly pumping their bodies full of lead. | ||
− | + | It also functions as an excellent quasi-melee weapon, rapidly ripping the enemy to shreds at point-blank range. It deals higher DPS than all melee weapons save for the [[scyther blade]] at point blank. This works well especially when you are facing a manhunter pack ambush with large animals such as [[elephant]]s or [[rhinoceros]]; most if not all of the shots will connect, killing or downing the poor animal outright with 1 burst, while melee weapons are much slower. | |
− | + | The minigun often requires manual targeting as colonists tend not to choose the best targets for the minigun to shoot at. It also performs significantly better if you're firing at a point right behind the enemy. You can make colonists target behind them by dropping a crafting spot or party spot there, then aim your minigun at it. | |

− | |||
− | + | It is capable of hitting a single moving target, so you may use it against them. | |
