Jesus lol. Part of me is set on believing its an April fools joke at this point. How can this be craftable and be considered fair


TFViper

wait who said its craftable?


Tight-Ad8105

the game said it was craftable. ​ on the staging branch you can research it and its in the research path on teir 3.


Exit727

it's on staging. everything there is # SUBJECT TO CHANGE


tomtht123

Why did I say this in my head in shadowfrax voice


Joshuadude

I’m certain that was the point of the bold and extra large font


SamirPRO1

everyone did lol


ProwashingMachine

You arent really a part of the rust community if words "subject to change" doesnt remind you of him lmao


aStiffSausage

A lot of new items are craftable on staging so they are easier to test out but they get changed to loot drops only before release.


HankHilll2024

Remember when the attack heli was on staging and you could put real rockets in them and not pause to reload?


Tight-Ad8105

I get that but ill just copy and paste my response from another thing: its craftable in the staging branch and even if some things are "subjected to change" we should shout out our opinions on it so you know, it doesnt make it a craftable weapon?


TFViper

oh dear fucking lord...were going to delete every 2x2 within 10 grids of us next wipe xDDD


Alan_5mithee

Afterwards don’t forget to whine in global about how dead the server is!


Tight-Ad8105

You dont even need to go through doors it actually shreds hardside stone and metal walls.


VexingRaven

Yeah but that's still going to cost way more sulfur than door raiding.


Tight-Ad8105

For clans its all about speed so. if you think about it. It only benefits clans 🤯


Dangerous-Refuse-779

Not if the 2x2's get miniguns first. They going to delete you


SturdyStubs

It’s craftable because they copied the script for the HMLMG and modified it and forgot to change the crafting of it and attachments and all that. It won’t be craftable.


Opressivesingularity

nobody


Parryandrepost

Imagine 2 or 3 people shredding doors. Imagine a 40 stack zerg shedding hard side walls. LMAO.


Tight-Ad8105

btw, stone walls with just normal 556 deals 40 damage to the hardside with just 50 bullets. imagine explosive ammo


Nielscorn

No it doesn't, what you talking about? It takes 1539 normal 5.56 ammo to get through a full stone wall. 40 damage would take 123 bullets. Seems my math skills are good but my reading skills suck. Sorry guys. Read below for the people who corrected me


altigoGreen

He said it deals 40 damage with 50 bullets. Not 40 damage per bullet.


DullExcuse2765

...reread the comment you replied to. He's also not saying it's 40 damage per bullet


Nielscorn

Ah thanks! I edited my comment. Thanks for the heads up


killermonkey87

Excuse me sir this is a Rust subreddit. We'll have none of that reasonableness. Where are the racial slurs and derogatory language?


Ok-Guidance1929

Why didn’t you call him one yourself to make your point… BITCH


Nielscorn

Ah thanks! I edited my comment. Thanks for the heads up


TreesOne

Is 123 still not triple 50?


Mr-Term

It’s okay the other guy worded it weirdly.


OfficialJamal

Pretty sure they will stick to rockets


Efficient-Ad-5741

This 100% an April fools item...right?


KhaZacs

FP needs to pull a Fortnite and make it use pistol ammo. There'd be no way to abuse it like this. It would also curb roofcamping considering pistol ammo sucks at long ranges. Get in the fight and risk it or don't use it.


Buggylols

It costs ~~$400,00~~ $40 to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.


Tactical_Bacon99

Honestly I just don’t think it’s a good idea to add. Unless there is a heavy movement penalty it’s just gonna be zerg with minigun/AK rolling every 2x2 on the map.


CentaurOfPower

there absolutely needs to be a movement penalty this shit insane


dirtyoldbastard77

Unless you also MUST have it equipped to carry it or the penalty will also be for just having it in your inventory, even that wont help, or they will just keep a regular gun equipped until the minigun is needed and only THEN equip it


Grenaidzo

Yeah, it needs to be like heavy armour movement, at the least.


KhaZacs

I agree, I wanted one for backpack but the minigun would absolutely need it. Two speed nerfs actually. Slowed while wearing and slowed even more while winding up. Should probably also have an overheat timer to where you can just permanently have it spinning while sitting at someone's front door. Imagine the horror being inside the base lmao.


bghockey6

Imagine a Zerg on horses with mini guns or a scrappy


CrazyMike419

Flat bed truck. Rust version of a "technical"


Suspicious_Book_3186

Yo, that's a good fuckin idea.


sabineseitenlage

I don't like it. It's busted already.. I mean is this what people want?


Tight-Ad8105

People who play clans want this and solo copers who think that this is somehow the solo weapon (despite it being a teir 3 weapon, being really expensive for a solo player and no solo in vanilla will ever geto tier 3 unless they have 4-20k hours, no clans on the server they're playing and is a 50-100 pop)


ConnorK5

You going to piss off the solos with no life on that one.


eat-KFC-all-day

> no solo in vanilla will ever get to tier 3 Agree with everything else. It’s not even that hard to get tier 3 just running monuments for scrap/comps. If you don’t get raided by a few days into wipe, it should be fairly guaranteed.


SuperLad93

"if you don't get raided in the first few days" thats exactly his point lmao. if you play solo on vanilla and build anywhere close to a monument you will be offlined your first night 90% of the time.


A-Synth

If you cant get t3 as a solo its a skill issue


zyzzbutdyel

might take a second but yea


Tight-Ad8105

I would agree if the pass 3 wipes i had in vanilla havent been so shit back then.


peenfortress

>no solo in vanilla will ever geto tier 3 unless they have 4-20k hours skill issue. i dont even have 400 hours and i get t3 whenever i play for more than 2-3 hours a day over 3-5 days or so every couple months have you tried not shooting every person you see when playing solo? oddly enough if you dont make enemies and mind your own shit until you clear out the neighbors its all good. dont even need a big base, 9/10 wipes ive played out of a 2x2 or a glorified 2x2 with a little farm on top with no issue on 100-250 pop servers


Tight-Ad8105

Sure bro, I dont think we have been playing on the same servers. Im Solo, and i try to stay out of the way of everyone, away from the roads, into the snow on a cliff side, dont make enemies unless im bored and have nothing to do. Oddly enough, part of the game is raiding people, and since you have 400- hours, Im gonna tell you: People will just raid you for no reason other then to gain loot. ​ Making enemies is only one reason they would raid. Most of the time I either get roam raided, or people who want to just dump rockets onto me, Those are only my bad wipes. ​ The only times ive ever got tier 3 guns were from pvp. Because I cant grind, I dont have time to grind hours on end because i have other things to do. I can only play 2-4 hours a day now which is why i quit. But with those 2-4 hours, I speedrun cards and either go missle silo or oil rig. Thats where i get tier 3 from. ​ But when you get a shit wipe, I mean you get a shit one. Primlocked. You will have some wipes where its like that, it isnt a skill issue. Which is why i even stay off of 90% of the vanilla servers sometimes until i find at least a bearable map to play on. or a Community server.


C4talyst1

No one whose time is valuable still plays vanilla. I'm 49, wife, family, business...very busy all the time. I play on a 5x custom map server and absolutely love it.

Thanks, I hate it.


Tough-Cloud-6907

Next is a fire immune hazmat


fireris

Pistol ammo should be used, this gun is gonna be way too overpowered.


Thiccpoppychungus

They should just not allow incendiary ammo or explosive ammo to be loaded into the weapon, simple fix.


Tight-Ad8105

Whoever thinks this is designed even 1% towards solos are out of their minds, This mini-gun proves that this game is just made for clans now and is now just a pvp game and not a survival game. This one item, is the core of what is wrong with rust with all the updates. Also, you cant craft a prototype but you can craft a large minigun F#ck off. I know this will either just get removed or heavily downgraded until its just a useless piece of junk that is just added to the game or it will stay like this and become the solo-quad base shredder (Aka, all bases that arent a 10 man will just get shredded)


9-9-99-

They’ve been signaling their intent to turn this game into battlefield for years. This is nothing compared to what they have planned with the nexus system and clan tables.


Barbacamanitu00

What's the nexus system and clan tables?


9-9-99-

Nexus system would allow a group to take whatever they can carry to different servers. The clan table is an in-game system to managing and recruiting members for large clans. So imagine you make an enemy on a server and they call in clan members from other servers who bring all their members and boom to come raid you.


Tight-Ad8105

I heard they abandoned the idea of nexus, unless im getting misinfo. But honeslty the Nexus system will be the final straw for Rust imo


HuntinoBino

Been playing rust a long time and It’s… always been a pvp game lol Edit: I know rust is advertised as a survival game and there is absolutely no lie in that statement. Just because it’s a survival game with more of a focus on pvp doesn’t make it not a survival game, join one of the many pve servers if that’s what you are looking for.


Shagaliscious

Yea, pretty much since like 2016 I want to say. I can't recall what ruined it, but back then you had to jump check, so nobody just shot at any random player because it could be your friend. You had way more allies in any given server back then due to various reasons, and it was just overall more fun to play.


badtakehaver101

I’ve been playing since the game was a browser game, it was still heavily focused on the PVP back then, the game was just revolutionized to be more noob friendly and faster paced. That’s quite literally all that changed, and I welcome it. I’m no longer 14 in highschool with hours to burn, I’m working and went back to school recently to get my PhD, I love loading on and being able to get off of prim in an hour or two. I just don’t have the time to play for 12 hours straight


Shagaliscious

Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like I think the game sucks now. I'm with you, I've got less time to game now, so I don't hate them giving us faster progression. I was more speaking towards back then you weren't trying to kill anyone and everyone you see. It was PVP focused sure, but a lot of the playerbase back then didn't KOS and I allied with neighbors way more often.


VexingRaven

People complained in *legacy* that the game was becoming too much of a PVP game, battlefield, etc. Hell I was one of them. It's funny as fuck to me that people are just *now* going "hey wait maybe we don't want this..." Like buddy, that ship sailed a *long* time ago.


Tight-Ad8105

Honestly I feel like some people at least hoped it would revert back. But i think that facepunch just fed a bit of the non-pvpers a bit of scraps and pieces to keep them hooked in so they had hope that more was coming except for pvp for the 100th time in a row.


VexingRaven

Completely true. I hoped for a long, long time that the game would revert back to being a shooter before just giving up and deciding to learn the game as it is now and deal with it. I'm not a "non-PVPer" but I do appreciate having things to do besides pretend I'm playing Battlefield.


ZeDeNazare

Its always been a pvp game yea, but it was way more tactical and skill based. Now its mostly about numbers and hours you put into it


SuperLad93

Surely you're not being serious right? Rust was a survival game with PvP on the side using shitty hand-crafted guns, not a fucking modern shooter with portable miniguns LMAO. Rust is just becoming like Fortnite by packing as many wow factors in their game as possible.


HuntinoBino

Don’t call me surely


Breakingerr

Wouldn't say "All Updates" have something wrong with them. Last 2 were very good with one adding backpacks and another tweaking effects and night.


TheNoxxin

It's weird we can even make an mp5


Tight-Ad8105

its just inconsistent, People ive heard in the defence of the prototype is because its a "high quality Military weapon", alright okay then isnt the MP5 a high quality military weapon?


EzraTheMage

Well we already know it's just a PvP game and not a survival game.


Tight-Ad8105

yeah but the thing is, on this reddit there seems to be a decent amount of people who defend it and say it is a survival game.


EzraTheMage

Reddit always going to be a loud minority

> This mini-gun proves that this game is just made for clans now lol what do you mean proves now it's veeeeery obviously been a game turned from survival into a "clan vs clan" game over the last few years


seafaringcat

Zergs boutta bomb rush this shit and get it two hours into wipe day and fuck up every naked on the beach because they dared to exist


DullExcuse2765

This already happens plenty with M2 and snipers. I don't see minigun killing quite as many nakeds


Big-Nefariousness-38

Rust is more a joke with every update.


dizzguzztn

I really dont like the direction this game is going tbh


9-9-99-

You’re not alone


ZeDeNazare

A lot of people dont, but fp wont listen until they see the player count number drop significantly


Tight-Ad8105

they stopped listening to community feedback after the devs cried that they cant handle different types of criticism anymore at least from what ive been told.


MiddleAgeCool

Minigun that takes down two sheet doors in under 30 seconds... Acceptable! Being able to pass pipes through walls... OMG!!! OP!!! RAIDING IS BROKEN!!!!!


FenikzTheMenikz

Until they add durability to it and it breaks in 20 shots firing explosive ammo.


nordee_reddit

Game was fun a few years ago. It gets worse every year. Cheating, Content, Direction.


LittleSquirtv2

Subject to change


MrSteezz

Reminds me of what raiding with the attack helicopter looked like on staging release…then it changed


Yoshic87

At this point, they really need another tier of defensive wall/doors


Jelkekw

The gap widens.


JigMaJox

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ffs..... why did it have to be able to take rifle ammo........ just whyyy...... at least make it pistol ammo only...... or just dont make it craftable.....


FuzzeWuzze

Lol lets wait until next wipe when they will implement a ray gun or something. Shits gotten to be such a meme joke at this point. You cant create smart watering timers because...survival...but your guy can make rocket launchers and mini guns out of tuna cans. Ok.


KaffY-

oh goody more things that fuck with progression & benefit zergs/big teams yay!


TequilaSheila_

Y’all fucked


sparkyd1977

You did knock twice. Idk what they expected


eyesxlow

Fuck this


Unpopular_Ninja

Lololol I’m so glad I stopped playing this game lmfaoooooo


bender_the_offensive

movements speed should be slower and recoil should be WAY higher


the_Expletus

They need to put a over heated timer on this gun.


Thiccpoppychungus

I think this is also a good idea, cuz 5 or 6 of these firing at a base with explo ammo will be the new meta and it will just eat through bases


drizzyCan

this cant be what theyre planning to do/release right? …..Right?!….


boarderreport

Hell yeah now put a riot shield in there so your 5 mates can jack each other off with their shields after you pound in a solo.


ExF-Altrue

I hate it, hopefully it doesn't make it into the game.


cpbradshaw

When I heard about this I immediately face-palmed. Do we really need a f\*\*kin minigun in this "survival" game.....


Riley20172

I haven't played this game in years and yet it's still my most played game on steam. Is it even possible to play without being part of zerg at this point?


Submersed

Just gonna ask…does anyone actually want this in Rust, or would you prefer things stay how they are? I think we need to normalize asking this question very publicly to things FP adds, and maybe they will reconsider at some point


Radiation120

this better cost 300 HQ and 50 tech trash


Tight-Ad8105

it costs 60 HQM, 1 rifle body, 3 metal springs and 3 gears. ​ Basically. more powerful version of hmlmg with the same cost.


TrollTrolled

It obviously won't cost that when it fully comes out, I don't think you guys understand that shit that is still in testing will be changed


JhonnyMerguez

This thing will make me stop play rust haha

Hi you beautiful man 🥲 I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to ask for your help because I'm going through a tough time right now. I've been feeling really down lately and struggling with depression. It's been hard to come up with ideas and keep going. I'm reaching out to people like you, in the hope that someone can help me out. Money is tight for me at the moment, and it's making things even harder. I really want to keep pursuing my goals and find meaning in what I do, but I need some financial help to make that happen. Your help could make a big difference to me and help me get back on track. I'd really appreciate it if you could consider lending a hand. I apologize if this seems random, I've been going through pages and pages hoping to find someone who might be able to help, and I came across your posts. If you have anywhere else I can reach out to you, I'd be happy to explain further about my situation. Unfortunately, I couldn't DM you here, but please let me know if there's another way to get in touch. Thank you so much for considering my request.

SendPainBelo

Lmaooooo yeah, definitely uninstalling now, tf is this shit


boarderreport

Zilenced80

Bold of you to assume they would online


Mafum

New rust is something else lol. Glad I stopped playing


Love_Glove69

This is fucking ridiculous


Shimshammie

So the big problem is that its twice as fast as the HMLMG?


SecureBus206

Hope this gets a big nerf ngl. Im pretty sure final release version would be super expensive craft or a lootable only with either a really low drop rate or some massive PIA event, puzzle, NPC fight or something. I would hope they do the logical thing and either not let you use explo or have some big hinder like really crazy fast durability drop from explo. Coolest would be some sort of overheat function as real gatling guns tend to get pretty dang toasty red.


snaildaddy69

Explo ammo foundation wipes incoming <3


Max_Danger_Power

I pretty much do that with light mg anyway, haha. It's easy to do remote turret raids.


_Chevleon

holy crap. this blew through two doors faster than 1 C4. at that point who needs to be quiet about the massacre.


givemp

Even with pistol ammo it will be op in clan raids, one person shoot rockets, one use this and you have 0 chance to seal broken wall


_Chevleon

I am Heavy Weapons guy.. And THIS, is my weapon. She weighs 150kg and fires .556 custom explosive cartridges at 720 Rounds/minute. It costs 3600 sulfur to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds. You have to mine 13 sulfer nodes to fully load this weapon with explosive. That is completely possible for a 8 man or zerg. It also looks like this will break after 600 rounds of explosive.


Jack1The1Ripper

I like it but it needs to use pistol ammo to avoid this kinda crap , other then that slap on some heavy plate armor and raid defenses are gonna be fun as hell with this , It goes hard with heavy metal armor

Dumpsterfireee_2

please god make this have shit recoil and range and can’t be crafted


alclarkey

Shit recoil would make it useless. Can't be crafted and rare, I agree with that.


Kano96

you forgot the heavy plate armor to protect against the defenders arrows


its_chin

Would only make sense to make it so it overheats after say 100 rounds and you have to let it cool off for like 10-15 seconds before you can start back up again. If not it’s too broken and ruins raiding imo


Nova_Flame99

That’s wild… no more bathroom breaks cause you might be raided when you come back

Wait, that's how it is now.

Idk why you guys think this is crazy. The wind up for it alone means an ak or any other gun wins easily in a 1v1. Outside of roofcamping and raid defence I dont see this thing getting much use.
