Fan-made art of the Quantum Gatling.
GENERAL
The Quantum Gatling is a modified Alien weapon. Its looks are the same as that of the Flux Ray, but has a firing pattern similar to that of the Photon Gatling.
This weapon has built-in shield bypass like all other Barrage Hive weapons, further decreasing the effectiveness of shields.
APPEARANCE
This weapon appears in Barrage Hive Fleets; each Hive carries a single Gatling which does relatively low damage from medium range. The Hives display a strong preference towards locking on to a particular ship.
Co-op Reaper Harvesters possess 2 Quantum Gatlings, which only deal moderate damage.
Barrage Harvesters instead use the Heavy Quantum Gatling, which deals more damage.
STRATEGY
You can mitigate the damage from this weapon by flying the targeted ship perpendicular to the line of fire. Most of the shots will miss due to the lack of homing ability. This becomes more difficult when you enter a stasis field.
Alien resistance helps to minimize the repair time by directly reducing the damage taken.
TRIVIA
- Quantum Gatlings first appeared in Unknown Barrage Hives alongside the Eradication Beam and the Viper Missile seen throughout the first Alien Mobilization of March 2017.
- This weapon has been originally named the Plasma Gatling, which has been disused as a result of the Plasma damage type.
