Minigun Long Range Tactics: Use aimed mode for distant enemies. Keep backing up and firing. Dodge-Jump guided rockets and Double-Jump against Link Gun plasma. Avoid tracers as they are misleading. If an enemy closes with a long-range weapon, hide or switch. Avoid using the Minigun against vehicles and nodes if possible.

They are projectiles and require leading targets. Effective at close range due to spread. Can be bounced around corners in narrow hallways, but be cautious of self-damage. Deals decent damage to vehicles only at very close range. Excellent for attacking Power Nodes by firing upwards into the spinning icon.
3
Flak Cannon Secondary Fire (Fragmentation Grenade): Launches a fragmentation grenade in a long arc, dealing massive damage and splash damage. Knocks enemies back and can be used for juggling. Good range. Effective against vehicles from medium range. Can be used to shake pursuers by firing around corners. Not ideal for attacking nodes.
