Cyborg

4 builds

Cyborg starts with a Minigun and his massive Ranged Damage scaling makes it one of the best core DPS options, providing constant fire in the first half of waves and still benefiting indirectly when Ranged Damage turns into Engineering via structures and Nail synergies.

Renegade

2 builds

Minigun offers the highest sustained fire rate, multiplying Renegade’s extra projectiles and pierce into a wall of bullets that synergizes incredibly well with life steal and flat ranged damage.

Vagabond

1 build

Minigun adds an extremely high rate of fire for consistent DPS and procs, which benefits from any global damage bonuses you’ve stacked via Vagabond’s shared class passives.

Apprentice

1 build

Minigun provides extreme attack rate and pairs naturally with high Ranged Damage and Damage. It’s used alongside other heavy guns to make the most of Curse bonuses, Ricochet and global damage scaling in Endless.

Stats: Attack Speed · Ranged Damage · Damage

Ranger

2 builds

Minigun is an excellent late‑game or Endless pickup for Ranger, turning his ranged scaling and attack speed into a wall of bullets. With piercing support and adequate defenses, it can single‑handedly control entire waves.

Stats: Attack Speed · Ranged Damage · Dodge · Armor

Soldier

2 builds

Minigun takes Soldier’s turret fantasy to the extreme with a constant stream of bullets that fully exploit the +50% Attack Speed while standing still, especially once you have strong defenses.
