Elite heavy

Minigun

Spins up while you hold the trigger into a storm of lead, then overheats if you don’t let it breathe. The Minigun is an elite-grade heavy in Squadbreak that any class can use as a primary.

How to get it

The Minigun only drops in missions, from gun cases (amber) dropped by enemies, bosses and mission wins. It can drop once you’re level 12 or higher (gear more than 2 levels above you never drops), and you can equip it from level 14: until then it waits in your Inventory, locked. It belongs to the character who found it.

Elite is the grade rolled on 0% of drops on tier-1 maps, 10% of drops on tier-2 maps, 32% of drops on tier-3 maps, 45% of drops on tier-4 maps, and 50% of tier-4 boss drops. See loot and drops.

A gun you already own is scrapped for gold when it drops again.

Upgrades

Spend gold in the Inventory to upgrade each part up to its grade’s cap. Taking every part to the cap costs about 80,275 gold. An Augment Core plus gold then pushes a capped part 2 levels further at 1.5× strength.
