It will always reappear as the same variant first found.
When fired continuously, the minigun's barrel cluster glows ever hotter, eventually reaching a bright yellow color.Ī minigun can easily be obtained at low levels by completing the quest When Freedom Calls, as the Sole Survivor is given one to defend the Museum of Freedom from raiders and a deathclaw. The minigun fires large volumes of low-damage shots with a high spread, rendering it difficult to take down enemies with larger defensive stats, even with investment in the Heavy Gunner perk. The downside is that this mod requires heavy investment in the Gun Nut perk and won't be available until the player reaches a fairly high level, a point where the minigun will most likely find itself outclassed in most respects by the Gatling laser.
The latter significantly increases the minigun's per-shot damage, range, and accuracy at the cost of a sharp drop in firing rate, all of which makes the weapon a lot more cost-efficient and effective at mid to long-range.
Investing points in the Scrounger perk and installing the tri-barrel modification helps to alleviate this issue to some extent. This and the fact that only a select few enemies wield miniguns makes it difficult to keep the weapon supplied without spending a lot of caps at arms dealers. As can be expected from a motorized rotary gun, it burns through ammo reserves at a high rate, even more so when equipped with accelerated barrels. It requires a moment to spin up before it actually starts firing, but makes up for the delay with a high rate of fire and large ammunition capacity. Miniguns can be found as mounted door guns on Vertibirds or as a handheld heavy assault and support weapon. The minigun is a motorized Gatling-style rapid fire weapon commonly employed by the military, or other lesser factions that managed to acquire such a weapon.
