Chaingun Cannon
From Duke Nukem Wiki
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Chaingun Cannon is a weapon that is usually found early on in most of the Duke Nukem games.
[edit] Description
A Nordenfelt-type machine gun hence the multiple barrels that can tear up most enemies fast at close distance with a rapid fire burst, although accuracy is significantly worse at larger distances.
The Chaingun Cannon is the weapon Assault Enforcers carry around. They'll drop either a Chaingun Cannon or ammo for it when they die for the player to pick up.
[edit] Tips and Tricks
- A devastating weapon to use against weak to average enemies such as Assault Troopers, Captains, Pig Cops or Enforcers mostly due to the fast firing rate. However, it can also be used against tougher enemies such as Protector Drones or Commanders mostly due to the fact that as long as you keep firing at them they'll not be able to counter your attack.
- It chews up ammo fast so always try to keep yourself at a fairly close distance when engaging enemies.
[edit] Trivia
- The Chaingun Cannon was originally supposed to be a plasma gun - a projectile weapon instead of hitscan. However, later in development it was changed to fire bullets instead of blue plasma bolts. Visually, the plasma gun was very similar to the Chaingun Cannon, the only difference being that it had one barrel instead of three. The original design can be seen on the Duke Nukem 3D box cover or in LameDuke.
