| − | == Unused Minigun Textures ==
| |
| − | In one of the oldest versions of TF2, there are .vtf files showing unusued minigun textures. They don't go to the current minigun, but appear to have been intended for another minigun, with a backpack that might have been connected somehow. Is it worth posting the images and putting them under unused content? [[User:TheNoobThatWas|TheNoobThatWas]] ([[User talk:TheNoobThatWas|talk]]) 08:55, 19 July 2013 (PDT)

| − | == Minigun's damage after Love & War patch ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | While Demoman's Sticky damage rampup change has been reverted, the same isn't for Heavy's Minigun arsenal and it has stayed for a few months now. Should we test and update the damage value for all Minigun primary when it suffers penalty until it finally ramps up to the current value we have now? --[[User:ThePsycho|ThePsycho]] ([[User talk:ThePsycho|talk]]) 01:00, 4 September 2014 (PDT)
| |
| − | : The weapon demonstration for this is being updated, once that is done, proper values can probably be added. Unless you want to try testing it now, be my guest. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] ([[User talk:Ashes|talk]]) 05:36, 4 September 2014 (PDT)
| |
| − | :: I've done extensive test. Each bullet fired from the Minigun suffers -50% damage initially (stacks multiplicatively with Natascha's -25% damage, any damage rampup/falloff and minicrits/crits) and the penalty gradually fades within 1 second of un-interrupted firing. Revving up before firing only reduces the initial accuracy penalty and does not affect damage penalty rampup one. I'll still wait for the new demonstration before adding proper values though, like you said. --[[User:ThePsycho|ThePsycho]] ([[User talk:ThePsycho|talk]]) 21:27, 20 September 2014 (PDT)

| − | == Love and War? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, the love and war update came out barely more than a year ago, and yet there is still no update to the demonstration video, or the information in the page. I feel it very important, as the update page's phrasing of Heavy's minigun nerf was very vague at the time, and many people I encounter seem to be unaware of the nerf altogether, let alone what exactly it did. There was a section already posted about this problem, but that was also almost a year ago. Can anything be done about this? [[User:Tenju|Tenju]] ([[User talk:Tenju|talk]]) 00:57, 20 June 2015 (PDT)

| − | The Gun Mettle Update made all the Miniguns (excepting the Iron Curtain) look smaller in First-person view, or has just corrected their viewmodel, just like the Iron Curtain.

| − | == Minigun Damage/Accuracy ramp-up ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | So, I did some testing on tr_walkway with the Minigun, because the lack of info on the Minigun's damage/accuracy ramp-up bugs me a little. (Video: https://youtu.be/SqV2I9VA7TY)
| |
| − | It appears that the Minigun does 50% damage (27 per 1 ammo at point blank) initially, and normal damage (54 per 1 ammo at point blank) after 1 second of being revved, so at least that's confirmed, but there's still a lot of things I'd like to test if I get around to it:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * What's the accuracy ramp-up? (I have no idea how to quantify this, but I'm sure somebody does.)
| |
| − | * Is there a delay before damage/accuracy ramp-up starts?
| |
| − | * Is the damage/accuracy ramp-up linear, or does it follow more of a curve?
| |
| − | * Is the ramp-up the same with all of Heavy's primary weapons?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Feel free to answer these questions yourself if you want to get around to testing. If not, I might get around to more thorough testing sometime later this week; we'll see.
