Tater Minigun

#Overview

Tater Minigun is the evolution of Locked Gatling. A chest evolves Locked Gatling into it once Locked Gatling is at max level and Tibo owns Masher Grip (see Evolutions). It fires the same locked 2 s bursts with a 0.35 s pause between them.

The only change from a max-level Locked Gatling is damage. Each tot deals 20.4 instead of 12, 1.7 times as much. The fire interval stays at 0.10 s (about 20 shots per burst), pierce at 2 (up to three pests per tot), and speed and flight time at 220 units/s for 1.2 s.

#How it works

Bursts lock onto the nearest pest within 220 units as described on Locked Gatling. Every tot in a burst flies along the angle taken at the start, from wherever Tibo is when it fires. Each point of amount is one lane, 7 units from the next. With Tibo's base +1 amount that is two lanes before any amount bonuses.^[1]

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; Tibo standing still, facing right, with 8 pests in a line 20 to 90 units to his right): a burst was 21 shots 0.1 s apart over 2 s, a new burst began every 2.35 s, each shot was 2 tots of 20.4, and only the 3 nearest pests were hit (pierce 2). All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Each lane is a full stream of tots, so amount bonuses scale this weapon directly.
• As with the base weapon, you can sweep the locked stream across a crowd by moving sideways to the firing angle.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

Evolutions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Behaviour parameters

Raw parameters of the attack (behavior), copied from the game definition. What they do in play is explained under How it works above.

#Obtaining

• Get Locked Gatling to level 8 while owning Masher Grip (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
