Gatling Gun

The Gatling Gun^[1] is an object that appears in Shadow the Hedgehog. It is a gun-type weapon usable by both enemies and the player.

Description

The Gatling Gun is a silver-colored weapon, with seven barrels revolving around a central shaft. Because the weapon is utilized by the massive Big Foot mechs, it is very big in comparison to Shadow.

Overview

In gameplay, the Gatling Gun can only be found in certain Stages, such as the Black Comet. They can be wielded by Big Foot Type As and Big Foot Type Bs, who will use them against the player.

Gatling Guns can be dropped by defeated Big Foot-type enemies that wield them or released from breakable Containers. Touching one will make Shadow pick it up automatically, and pressing // (whether on the ground or in mid-air) will fire it. Holding down // will cause it to fire continuous shots. As a gun, the Gatling Gun can shoot enemies from a distance (targets within range will be automatically targeted). It has high damage output and a long attack range, making it an ideal weapon of choice. A Gatling Gun has a total of forty shots, and once those run out, it becomes useless. However, it can be reloaded with another forty shots by picking up another Gatling Gun.
