Widowmaker stats and how it plays
The Widowmaker has four barrels and, in performance, matches the Minigun, including the ammunition it uses. That makes it a strong answer to helicopters, planes, vehicles and groups of enemies. It is just as heavy to carry: you move slowly and cannot run fast, take cover or roll. Its red laser beams make your position easy to spot. Unlike the Minigun, which unlocks at Rank 120, you can buy the Widowmaker at any rank, but it costs ten times more.
Unholy Hellbringer stats and how it plays
The Unholy Hellbringer has three barrels and a drum magazine. It performs like a Combat MG with no attachments: same damage, rate of fire, recoil and range, with slightly lower accuracy and no attachment options. Its edge is ammunition. It holds 9,999 rounds, so you never reload, compared with 54 for the MG and 100 for the Combat MG.
