Surprisingly, the minigun has similar stats to the assault rifle. What matters most is getting as many shots as possible down that 10 tile hallway where the raiders are. Give a minigun to one of your pawns with the trait trigger happy and watch clumped up groups of raiders fall to the ground. The minigun is one of the best spray-and-pray guns in the game. The charge rifle has better damage and armor penetration but lacks the ability to engage at long distances. As you can see, the assault rifle outclasses the charge rifle in range and accuracy making it a perfect choice for long-range engagements. It features better stats, at the cost of a shorter range.
Sometimes it is important to be the one who shoots first! The charge rifle is second on the list of best guns in Rimworld. While the assault rifle does do less overall DPS, the assault rifle can seriously hinder an enemies assault if they have charge rifles. Overall, the assault rifle is the best gun in the game. While there are two outright top choices for best gun, Rimworld throws a variety of situations at you and they may not always be the best choice. Just like with our take on what the best melee weapon is, the best gun in Rimworld depends on a variety of factors. Endgame Rimworld is a cruel mistress with hordes of enemies and robots trying to kill you.
