Minigun

The Minigun is an Assault Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 2. The version of this weapon is Brutus' Minigun.

Functionality
The Minigun has no magazine limit, fires much faster than other Assault Weapons, and has a cool-down period if fired for too long. The cool-down 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.

Stats
Minguns range from dealing 20 to 21 damage per shot (240-252 Damage per second). All Miniguns use. The minigun has a headshot multiplier of 1.5x. 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

From when the weapon was last available in Chapter 2: Season 2

Trivia

 * The Model of the Minigun is the exact same as the one used in the Goin' Commando!!! Ability in Save the World. This is due to the fact that many of the weapons' textures at the time were borrowed from Save the World.
 * At one point, there was a glitch that allowed people using the Deadpool outfit to deal more damage with the Minigun.
 * At one point, a player could sit in a Shopping Cart, and fire the minigun to propel themselves. For an unknown reason this was removed.
 * The Sideways Minigun is The Sideways version of the Minigun.

Visuals

 * The Minigun is vaguely based off the American M61 Vulcan, although it appears to just be a generic mix of other miniguns from other media. Like most video games, it is quite unrealistic for a person to hold a minigun without it being mounted to a vehicle, let alone fire one, as it weighs around 92kg (202 lbs), the same as a newborn elephant. The ammo also needs to be strapped onto the weapon, adding more bulk and weight to it.
 * The Minigun also fires, which is a much smaller caliber than in real life. However, to balance the ammo capacity and damage, the minigun uses this ammo in game. In theory, it should use.
 * The Minigun is actually a briefcase that quickly unfolds into a Minigun.
 * It has the phrase "Huska La Vista" engraved into the side of it. This is a reference to Terminator 2, with "Hasta La Vista, baby!" being the original quote. The Husk part is in reference to Save the World, where the minigun was first present, and uses the same model in both modes.
