__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Minigunner''' is a fast-firing advanced [[tower]] that can be purchased from the store for {{Coins|8,000}}.

Before the '''Minigunner''' starts firing, it needs to rev-up its M61 Vulcan. This process takes 1.4 seconds (1.2 at Level 1-2, 1 at Level 3+), and once the '''Minigunner's''' gun is fully revved up, it begins to shoot. If there are no more enemies in its range, it will wait for around a second for an enemy to enter its range before revving down. If another enemy enters its range after it has revved down, it will have to rev-up again, and if an enemy enters its range during the process of revving down, the '''Minigunner''' will immediately begin to rev-up again, finishing the process faster than normal. The '''Minigunner''' has high DPS and a relatively low cost compared to other high DPS towers, like the [[Accelerator]] or [[Engineer]]. Additionally, there is no limit on the number of '''Minigunners''' that can be placed down during a game, which is not the case for other high DPS towers.

This is considered an all-round tower because it is affordable relatively early on but can deal fairly high damage at higher levels as well. While in regular modes, it has no placement limit, in [[PVP]] mode only twelve '''Minigunners''' can be placed per player.

==Strategy==
*The '''Minigunner''' should be one of the towers that is placed down the most if brought in. it is recommended to place them in a large group near the start of the path if possible, or placing them in an area that covers a lot of the path (for example, at corners).
**Be careful when placing multiple '''Minigunners''' on the map when in teams, as this can block many vital spaces for stronger towers such as the [[Accelerator]] or [[Engineer]]. The [[DJ Booth]] and [[Commander]] are also integral support towers to be used with the '''Minigunner''', especially with a [[Range Buff]], as '''Minigunner''' lacks range for a DPS tower.
***Unlike other high DPS towers such as the [[Ranger]] and [[Turret]], the '''Minigunner''' does not have a placement limit. If you still have space to place down more towers, the Minigunner is a great choice to further fortify your defenses.
*Midway through the game, several Level 3-4 '''Minigunners''' are a cost-efficient option for wiping out hordes of enemies.
**The first '''Minigunners''' should be placed down in the transition to the mid-game, right when early game towers begin to struggle. Such instances include the debut waves of the [[Slow Boss]] and [[Necromancer (Modern Enemy)|Necromancer]].
*If you plan to save up for the '''Minigunner''' during the early stages of the game, you should have teammates with reliable early game towers, such as the [[Golden Soldier]], [[Golden Scout]] or [[Crook Boss]] to defend until you have gathered enough money to place it.
**You may also want to consider using the [[Farm]] to assist in getting an early game '''Minigunner''', or alternative options such as using a [[Supply Drop]], which grants you {{Money|1,000}} instantly, or the [[Cowboy]] tower for passive income.
*In terms of raw DPS, the [[Engineer]], [[Accelerator]] and [[Ranger]] are far more effective. However, they are far more expensive and suffer from several limitations, making the '''Minigunner''' a far more flexible choice for some scenarios.
*This tower is not affected much by the defense from enemies like the [[Fallen Giant]] and [[Warden (Modern Enemy)|Warden]] due to its low base damage at lower levels. In most cases, the '''Minigunner''' can still deal most of its damage to such enemies, or even its full damage.
**Do note that the Levels 3 and 4 deal 7 and 15 damage respectively, which are high enough for most enemies with defense to be able to have a noticeable effect on its damage output.
***Even still, defense dropping towers like the [[Pyromancer]] are recommended to increase the damage of '''Minigunners''' against certain enemies with very high defense.
*The '''Minigunner''' can serve as a cheap and effective way to wipe out [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies, like the [[Soul]] and [[Possessed Armor]].

==Trivia==
*When the game was in Alpha, and for a while after BETA release, the '''Minigunner's''' upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "sans big gun".
*Before the 13th of October 2019, when the '''Minigunner''' was Level 2 or higher, its face changed from the [[w:c:Roblox:Normal face|Roblox default face]] to the {{RLinkC|19398554|Grr!}} face, despite the fact that the upgrade icon kept the [[w:c:Roblox:Normal face|Roblox default face]].
*The '''Minigunner''' was inspired by ''Tower Battles<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Commando|Commando]] as well as ''Team Fortress 2's'' [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy Heavy].
*Prior to the 8th of August 2019, the Level 5 upgrade was a jetpack. Functionally, it performed the same way as any other ground tower.
**Regardless of being a flying tower upon reaching that level, the hitbox of the '''Minigunner''' did not change with the jetpack. It could still be stunned by rocks from [[Tank]]s or the shockwave from the [[Gravekeeper]].
*The [[wp:M134 Vulcan|M134 Vulcan]] originally used by most '''Minigunner''' skins was first popularized by [[w:c:r2d:Minigun|R2D's Minigun]].
*The '''Minigunner''' along with its golden counterpart, the [[Golden Minigunner]], currently have the most skins out of any tower in the game.
*The '''Minigunner''' used to appear alongside the [[Pyromancer]], [[Scout]], [[Commander]] and [[Sniper]] on the "Triumph" screen before the [[v1.8.0|Community Maps Update]].
**During [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], the '''Minigunner''' appeared alongside [[Commander]] on the "Triumph" screen.
*The survival matchmaking statue in the lobby is based on the sixth version of the Default skin's base level.
**The statue actually uses a different model than the Default '''Minigunner'''. Most notably, it wears a different vest and knee-pads.
*The [[Minigunner (Pizza Party)|Minigunner]] enemy from [[Pizza Party]] is based on the '''Minigunner''' tower.
