Sideways Minigun in Fortnite
At Legendary, it deals 22 body damage at 7 shots per second (154 DPS), with a 0-round mag and 4.50s reload. Structure damage is 22. Rarities in the encyclopedia: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
The Mythic row is 24 body / 168 DPS / 0 mag — boss or medallion loot, not what you should plan a floor drop around.
Sideways Minigun’s Legendary DPS of 154 is 105% above the encyclopedia 75 DPS median for this category.
- spray cadence — 7 fire rate at Legendary.
- Against 150 HP it is 7 body shots (0.86s TTK). A 0-round mag cannot finish 150 HP in one dump — you reload mid-fight or swap.
- Slow 4.50s reload — empty mag is a long punish.
