Minigun fires genuine nerf darts. A shield can withstand like 60-80 bullets.

Why can a dozer fully tank a minigun bullet hose? Point blank range, every bullet in the face and I lost that fight 3 times in a row. No stagger, no broken armor, nothing. Its a friggin minigun for dallas's sake, it should be able to mow down a dozer in a few seconds

blame the armor layers

the minigun used to go through the dozers armor and hit his health pool, whilst still taking a solid amount of time to kill him during pre-skills 2.0

Well, at least its not just a me problem

From my experience with the minigun the bullet spread can be insane even at point blank. I think when they designed the minigun they offset the huge ammo pool with low damage and low armor pen.

Since I’ve got each overkill to level 5 I tend to exclusively use the sniper, with the main intention to deal with dozers as it’s a 3/4 shot kill even through walls.

lol to bad

skills 2.0, a year into the making, no one asked what will happen to overkill weapons after they add extra healthbars to the enemies.

the minigun has become so useless since the update

I feel like enemy armor's ruined Overkill weapons.

Minigun feels turbo weak, the GL (with skill reworks) no longer has impacts when firing and the 50cal takes more than 2 body shots on dozers most of the time.

like, minigun should ignore armor regardless and make the spread more tight smth like that?
