Description

The Golden Minigunner is a golden perk for the Minigunner, obtained from the Golden Crate for 50,000 Coins if you own the Minigunner. It can also be bought in the Daily Store for 75,000 Coins. Before the Golden Minigunner starts firing, it needs to rev up its minigun. If there are no enemies in its range while revved-up, it will wait for around a second for an enemy to enter its range. If no enemy enters its range in that time, it begins to deactivate the gun and will need to rev the gun up again when an enemy enters its range. It fires bullets at enemies at a fast firerate. The Golden Minigunner has high DPS and a relatively cheap cost compared to other high DPS towers, like the Accelerator or Engineer. The Golden Minigunner has more damage and costs more than its normal counterpart, the Minigunner, making it a direct upgrade in many ways. It is mostly considered a mid-game to late-game tower, although it can be used in early game if you have enough base health and focus solely on using the Farm for some time.

Strategy

It is highly recommend to get 2 Level 3 Golden Minigunners as both of them could deal 260 total DPS while being more cost efficient compared to a single Level 4. The Golden Minigunner should be one of the towers that are placed down the most. If possible, place them in a large group near the front of the track, or place them in an area that covers a lot of path (for example, inside corners). Having a Commander or DJ Booth nearby helps a lot. Midway through the game, several Level 1-2 Golden Minigunners are effective in wiping out hordes of enemies for an effective price. While this is a cost-effective way to triumph maps, this is not the best tower in terms of DPS. In terms of DPS and range, the Engineer, Ranger and Accelerator are far more effective. However, they are more expensive and have their own limitations, like placement limits. While it does have a quite higher DPS than the normal Minigunner, it also costs more to upgrade. This tower is not affected much by the defense from enemies like the Giant Boss and Warden due to its low damage at lower levels. In most cases, the Golden Minigunner can still deal most of its damage to such enemies, or even its full damage. Do note that the Level 3 has 13 damage and Level 4 has 20 damage, which is high enough for most enemies to be able to decrease its damage. Even still, defense dropping towers like the Pyromancer are recommended to increase the damage of Golden Minigunners against certain enemies with very high defense.
