The Mini Gun is one of the most dominating weapons you can wield in GTA 5 and GTA Online. Packing an absurd rate of fire and huge ammo capacity, this gun can quickly annihilate groups of enemies.
In this guide, we'll go over the various methods to acquire the Minigun (aka the Gatling Gun), both temporarily and permanently, in story mode and GTA Online.
Fort Zancudo
Fort Zancudo is one of the most infamous locations to obtain the minigun. This method only works for story mode as it has been patched in GTA Online. However, it is quite difficult to get to the weapon as it rests at the top of a tower at Fort Zancudo.
Fort Zancudo is a military base, and you instantly get a 5-star wanted level as soon as you step foot inside the fort. Fortunately, if you die AFTER collecting the weapon, you will respawn with the weapon. So, all you have to worry about is getting to the weapon.
First, make your way to Fort Zancudo's main entrance.
The tower you need to go to can be seen from the main entrance of Fort Zancudo as seen in the image above. That is called Fort Zancudo Tower 1.
When you go through the boom barrier, you need to turn right and you will find the entrance to the tower directly ahead of you. It will have the name of the tower with green double doors.
You will find a metal detector to your left when you enter. Go through it and continue to the next door leading to the stairs.
You need to go up six floors until you reach a door to your left. Go through the door and you will see a Minigun on the floor.
