Minigun

Unmatched in firepower and intimidation, the Minigun tears through Vehicles, enemies, and anything in its path with rapid-fire destruction.

The Minigun is one of the most powerful heavy Weapons in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Known for its extreme rate of fire and high damage output, the Minigun is perfect for dealing with large groups of enemies, Vehicles, and helicopters. Its sheer firepower makes it a go-to weapon for players looking to dominate in large-scale combat scenarios, delivering devastating destruction in seconds.

Weapon Overview

Design

The Minigun is a rotary-barreled machine gun capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute. Its iconic spinning barrels and immense firepower make it one of the most recognizable and feared Weapons in the game. The weapon is large and heavy, making it impractical for stealth or mobility, but its overwhelming fire rate allows players to decimate targets with ease.

Performance

In GTA V, the Minigun’s rate of fire is unmatched, firing at an incredibly fast pace to deal massive amounts of damage in a short time. It’s highly effective against Vehicles, large groups of enemies, and even aircraft. However, its size and weight mean players are slower while carrying it, and the weapon’s long wind-up time before firing means it’s best used in situations where rapid, continuous firepower is needed. Once engaged, the Minigun’s constant stream of bullets is virtually unstoppable, making it a favorite for chaotic firefights.

Customization

The Minigun cannot be customized with attachments. Its core strength is its incredible rate of fire, and no additional modifications are available.

Locations

The Minigun can be found in several Locations throughout both GTA V and GTA Online.

Trivia
