The Minigun, a potent weapon that has been waiting impatiently for its return in Fortnite, has returned to the Battle Royale and is prepared to take on the problematic automobiles that have taken over Chapter 5, Season 3.
A beloved Fortnite weapon that debuted in Chapter 1, Season 2, the Minigun has a troubled past and is frequently vaulted and unvaulted.
The Minigun resurfaces in Chapter 5, Season 3, intensifying the mayhem of a season centered around carnage in a wasteland environment.
Below, players can see how to get the Minigun in Fortnite along with the weapon’s stats. The Minigun can quickly dispatch opponents and return them to the lobby.
How to Get the Minigun?
In Casual Battle Royale, the Minigun is available in both Build Mode and Zero Build. It can be found in rare chests, chests, and floor treasure.
But with a spawn chance of only roughly 1.62%, it’s not that easy to obtain. A Minigun for oneself or one’s team can be found by players exploring the map for unclaimed or deserted chests.
The Minigun is accessible in Chapter 5 Season 3 with the v30.40 update, though there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to obtain one—its availability is completely random (RNG).

| Legendary | 21 | Infinite | 12 | 4.5 |
There are three distinct rarities of the Minigun, but they are not that different from one another. Players must hold down the fire button (R2/Left-Click/RT) to use the Minigun.
The Minigun fires slowly at first since it needs to charge for a short while before it can fire a large volume of rounds into the enemy.
It is advised to aim down sights (L2/Right-Click/LT) while shooting to increase accuracy and decrease bullet drop because the weapon is very recoiling and imprecise.
Small Bullets are the type of ammo used by the Minigun, hence players should focus on maintaining a good stock of this ammunition.
The Minigun can fire off Small Bullets very quickly because of its extremely high fire rate and lack of reloading requirement. But if shot too long, the weapon will overheat and become inoperable for a brief period before it can be reactivated.
Players can maneuver in vehicles and jump, however they are unable to use tactical sprint when holding the Minigun.
Because of its quick fire rate and infinite magazine, the Minigun is an excellent suppressor of fire that can also be used to destroy structures and deliver massive damage to bosses.
To maximize its devastating power against other cars pursuing the Victory Royale, it is best to protect teammates or shoot from within vehicles. However, standing motionless while firing leaves players susceptible.
To maximize the Minigun’s potential, players ought to acquire Ringmaster Scarr’s Medallion from the Nitrodrome.
This gives them endless ammunition, so throughout the game, they won’t have to worry about running out or depending on others to spare some shots.
