The Minigun is a craftable ranged weapon that delivers sustained automatic fire. It requires ammunition to operate and is favored for PvP scenarios and high-damage combat roles where sustained fire is more valuable than precision.
Spawn it directly into your inventory using the GFI code. It does not stack, so each spawn command produces a single weapon. The item has no blueprint variant, so the blueprint flags in the spawn command will not alter the result.
