about the minigun in UT2004

Does the minigun have an alt fire, because it looks the same as the regular
fire. If anyone can tell me the difference between them (the 2 types of
fire) and what they actually do, that would be real cool.

thanks

The primary fire is slower and more accurate, plus has a 'warm up' and
'cool down' time. The secondary fire shoots pretty much the second you
want it to, albeit faster and a lot less accurate.

For those that have played UT, they reversed the primary and secondary
in UT2004, which still confuses me :-(

That was true in UT99, but didn't I read somewhere they'd reversed that
action for 2k3 and 4 since most ut99 players used altfire only?

My impression is that main fire shoots more projectiles with a slightly
scattered pattern and Alt fire shoots less projectiles but with higher
accuracy. So in close use the main fire, and use Alt fire to deter things
like Raptors hovering above nodes. The minigun is less effective againsed a
moving vehicle as you must lead with the shot to hit the target, similar to
the machine gun on the Goliath.

no, it is kind of stupid, but they changed that from ut to ut2004. In 2004
alt fire is the slower more accurate fire while primary fire is the spray
and pray mode.

I did not know that most used alt fire so much. I use both primary and alt
fire as required. alt fire for melee and primary if the tgt is mid range
like flying a strange love rocket or similar. But most of the time close
up its rockets all the way (until I kill myself with a salvo )

I understood that while alt fire fires slower, each alt fire hit
causes more damage. Therefore, I believed primary to be better for
"spray and prayers" while alt was better for more accurate shooters.

in the alt fire mode you can see litte explosions.
but i don´t know, witch fire mode takes more damage.
i think that the regular fire takes more damage at persons and the alt
fire takes more damage at the vihicles like tanks or mantas or raptors

but I don´t know if it is right

The primary fire mode does more damage, but to a small point. The
alternate fire mode does more splash damage.

The primary fire does more damage, however the alt fire is more accurate and
more effective from a distance than the primary fire. And yeah i think alt
fire does do more damage to vehicles.
