The Minigun is a weapon used in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Mechanics
The Minigun is a unique type of gun that spits out small ammunition at an outrageous fire rate. However, its main difference from other sub-machine guns is its chaotic and unpredictable spray, unlike the much more specific targeting on other guns. Being introduced in Season 2, the Minigun used to fire non-stop but was later received a nerf in Season 7 by applying an overheat effect, which meant it couldn't be used for a period of time during cooldown. It is very effective for knocking down buildings (at a close range). This effect is also on the Mounted Turret. After the "The End" event; when Chapter 2: Season 1 was introduced, it, along with many other weapons were vaulted.
The Minigun was brought back in patch v12.00 by killing Henchmen.
Notes
- Drops were in Epic and Legendary
- Has "Husk La Vista" engraved into the side of it. This is a reference to Terminator 2, where the Terminator would come to say, "Hasta La Vista" when using a minigun.
