Minigun can be found around the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 in Rare rarity.

The unvaulted Minigun is exclusively available in Rare (blue) rarity on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 map, and can be obtained as floor loot, from loot chests, supply drones, or through Fall Guys loot drops. It is currently limited to Battle Royale and Zero Build game modes.

Equipping the Minigun will be just like equipping any other weapon, as it only requires one weapon slot. The weapon’s stats are listed below:

DPS – 228
Damage – 19
Magazine Size – Infinite
Fire Rate – 12
Reload Time – 5 seconds
Structure Damage – 32

The most effective way to utilize a Minigun is to fire it from a moderate distance. It does not inflict significant damage when used from a long distance and is challenging to control when used up close due to its cumbersome design. However, if you are able to land shots, it can still be very powerful.

Despite its high recoil and 1.5x headshot multiplier, the weapon can still be utilized according to your preferred gameplay style. For increased accuracy and to minimize bullet spread for more headshots, it is recommended to crouch while using the Minigun. This will allow for more precise shots to be fired.
