The Gladiator is a very powerful minigun, mostly effective at medium range. It will automatically print ammo in the non-empty chamber if it has not been fired after a short delay. It gains firerate as it fires, and cannot overheat. Every 5 kills grants a critical chance buff lasting 16 seconds, that can stack.

The abbreviation for this weapon is 'GAT.'

Perks[ | ]

5 Kills Grant Critical Buff
- Every 5 kills grant a 10% critical chance buff lasting 16 seconds
  - Can stack multiple instances and is affected by buff duration bonuses
Air Cooled
- Never overheats (heat never exceeds 75%)
Heavy Movement (hidden)
- Movement speed is reduced by -100
Heat Firerate (hidden)
- Gains 25% firerate for every 10% current weapon heat (max 187.5% firerate bonus at 75% heat)

Notes[ | ]

Heat is capped at 75% regardless of items, modules, and/or attachments that affect heat (e.g., Hotswap cannot increase the heat above this cap)

Tips[ | ]

By repeatedly switching ammo types using the Hotswap attachment to generate heat, it is possible to start firing the weapon at its maximum fire rate at no initial ammo expense

Trivia[ | ]

Prior to its release, the Gladiator was formerly named Vulcan Gatling, and had the appearance of the MAG47 Heavy MG. In addition, it also had the same modules/perks as the Armageddon.
