The '''Minigun''' is the stock primary weapon of the [[Heavy]]. It is a Gatling-style machine gun constructed out of various parts, with a rotating barrel, an underslung ammunition barrel and rotation mechanism joined via pipes, and two carrying handles.

~~This weapon has to~~ spun up before firing ~~as well as after~~ firing~~. Players~~ can ~~begin~~ to spin~~-up~~ the ~~barrels by holding alt-fire where it will not begin to fire until primary fire is pressed~~. While spun up, the ~~Heavy~~ cannot jump ~~or switch weapons~~, ~~his speed is reduced he and~~ cannot move ~~at all~~ while crouching.

Unlike other weapons, the Minigun must be spun up before firing. When the user presses the primary fire button, the minigun will spin for 0.87 seconds before firing, The user can also hold the secondary fire button to spin the barrel indefinitely without firing. While spun up, the user is slowed down significantly, cannot jump, cannot move while crouching, and cannot switch weapons. It can still spun up while in the air, preserving the momentum gained.

While firing, the Minigun shoots a large, inaccurate cone of about 38 bullets per second, dealing huge amounts of damage to point-blank targets and barely any to long-range targets. Unlike in Team Fortress 2, it does not become more accurate over time, and does not have an initial damage penalty. However, it maintains the property of dealing 15% less damage on level 2 [[Sentry Gun|Sentry Guns]], and 20% less damage on level 3 Sentries. If the Minigun is out of ammo, it will remain spun up, but will produce a clicking sound without firing any bullets.
