==Chaingun==

{{infostrat switch}}

===0.9.9.7===

No significant changes to the weapon itself. See [[Gatling gun]] and [[burst cannon]] for the heavily modified assemblies.

The chaingun is a common rapid-fire weapon, the first one to be seen in any single run of a game. [[Former captains]] drop a chaingun as well as 100 [[10mm ammo]] when killed.

Weapon: (1d6)x4
Accuracy: +1

*Four bullets per volley, each individually dealing 1-6 damage points per hit.
*Benefits immensely from [[Strategy:Traits#Triggerhappy|Triggerhappy]] and [[Strategy:Traits#Son of a Bitch|Son of a Bitch]].

A chaingun's +1 accuracy bonus won't get you anywhere in particular, especially in the late game when ammo counts and so does each hit (by then you should be using the [[plasma rifle]] anyway). [[Strategy:Traits#Eagle Eye|Eagle Eye]] helps greatly with the accuracy issue here, as so do [[agility mod]] packs.

Strategy:

The chaingun's strategy relies mostly on maneuvering into positions where enemies can be lured or simply picked off without great fear of retaliation. A chaingun's base fire speed of 1.2 seconds is a bit hefty, and should be taken into consideration when dealing with enemies such as [[Arachnotrons]] which can do nearly three actions in that time. See the [[high power chaingun]] and [[Strategy:Traits#Son of a Bitch|Son of a Bitch]] to learn how to take down these foes in a single volley.

The chaingun is not a fielder's weapon of choice. Out in the open, with no cover, a chaingun can provide only limited assistance as it has no spread. However, investment in [[Stragety:Traits#Finesse|Finesse]] can come in handy, and [[demons]] and even [[hell knights]] can be taken down in a single volley.

Several assemblies for the chaingun include:

'''Exclusive to Chaingun'''
*[[gatling gun]]
*[[assault rifle]]
*[[burst cannon]]

'''General Rapid-Fire'''
*[[high power chaingun]]
*[[nanomach chaingun]]
*[[demolition chaingun]]

Bottom line? A good weapon of choice for nearly any part of the game (preferably assembled or modded in mid to late game), and even better with rapid-fire traits. Builds confidence to the [[plasma rifle]].
