In Rust, Minigun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #935606207, console shortname minigun). Loaded with standard 5.56 Rifle Ammo, it delivers 37.5 base impact damage from a 300-round magazine in active combat. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
A military issue belt-fed machine gun that must be spun up to fire. Fires rapidly at the expense of movement speed.
In Rust, Minigun has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on 2 world loot tables read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
The Minigun holds the most rounds of the 43 ranged weapons.
When comparing Minigun against related weapons in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
