Details

This weapon will overheat if fired for too long. If it overheats, it's spread will become so large that it won't hit anything outside of something right in front of the user. However, if you feel you've hit a spread that's good, press the right mouse button. That'll prevent the bullets from spreading.

Special Abilities

Can be clamped to fire at a steady RoF / CoF by pressing right click.

Strategy And Tips

To effectively use the Assault Cannon, fire it until you feel the cone of fire is want you want. The bar on the minigun and under the crosshair will show how large your spread is getting. If it's on the left, it's small, but so is the rate of fire. If it's on the right, the spread is very large and the weapon eats shells like crazy. Once you've got the spread you want, press the right mouse button. That'll lock down the spread and keep it from getting larger.

Be careful; while you're firing the minigun, your speed will be halved. It's best to stay at one position when using this weapon, so that your attempt at trying to chase an enemy isn't thwarted by your reduced speed.
