    From my experience in fpsHG, the minigun is honestly not that OP. You can only really kill someone really fast if you're near him (like 9 or 10 blocks), but if you're 30 blocks away like you said, it would take quite a while to kill him. I don't think it should be nerfed, but I do agree. You get it a lot in chests, so I would just nerf the spawn rate.

    Well, I'm taking 2-4 hearts of damage from 30 blocks or so. Per bullet.

    I was once killed by a guy who was on the roofs in favela by a minigun... I was on the ground over 30 blocks away...
    I only had time to shoot like 10 SAW bullets after i turned around and i was already dead...

    (That is, favela was the map for the dm, not in war... I don't know how to die in war :wink: )

    They shouldn't remove it, but as stated before, they should make it more hard to find.

    I agree it needs to be nerfed. One game it was me versus a group of three in deathmatch and they were standing in a hallway together and about 30 shots and 5 seconds later I had taken them all out in one go. Thats ridiculous. Also you can kill someone in heavy armor in about 10 shots or less so almost no other guns will be used, ruining the experience for those without it.

    Nerf Ideas:
    • - Set a spawn time limit. Let it be a special spawn, for example, only spawning in the feast.(?)
      • I've been killed way too many times within the first 30 seconds of each match with this gun.
    • Give it more of a "spray and pray" feel.
      • Within 25(ish) blocks it can do a great deal of damage, but that does come with having the name "Minigun". It's to be expected that it can dish out a lot of bullets and give quite a beating within such a short range. Perhaps that leads me to the next idea...
    • Knockback vs. Damage dealt
      • I don't know, the last two points would almost be mute if the first point got implemented as I don't think the Minigun should get that nerfed.
      • Have it so that it throws you back more and doesn't do as much damage. i.e ..putting more strain than damage on the player getting hit by a Minigun, making it harder to shoot, but still have a small fighting chance if they can get away in time. That also leads to more ideas .., but i'll leave it at that. :stuck_out_tongue:
    Just ideas, and be sure to leave all your comments in a constructive manner..as it helps with the balance process.

    It is actually pretty hard to kill a guy with the mini gun from 30 blocks away. It's only when you get 15 blocks close when they can die pretty quickly, so I agree there should be a slight nerd but maybe that should only be the firerate of the gun. You also don't get knocked back that much which I personally think would be a good idea to throw you off if you are in a gun fight with an enemy; as I find that it is quite off putting while shooting someone, and then getting hit back.

    I also must agree that the spawn rate of the minigun is absolutely insane. I managed to get a crazy 5 miniguns in one game just from chests.

    If you don't like the game, don't play. Simple as that.

    Not what he's trying to say, he's saying that minigun needs some sort of nerf. He's not saying that he doesn't like the game.
