Description

A rotary multi-barrel machine gun originally mounted on space- and aircraft. Comes with a very high rate of fire but heats up quickly due to the high rate of fire. The more heat builds up the less accurate the gun gets.

Weapon Skills

Fire a 10 bullet minigun salvo at one tile. Each use heats up the barrel of the gun by 1, reducing accuracy by 10 per heat stack. At the start of a round 2 heat stacks dissolve.

A wide sweep firing a hail of bullets strafing 4 adjacent tiles. Builds up 3 overheating stacks that reduce accuracy and cool off over time.

Set up the heavy weapon in a firing position and ready it for use.

This unit is encumbered and has its movement costs per tile increased by 3.
