The Gauss Minigun is a powerful weapon in Fallout 76 that fires 2mm Electromagnetic Cartridges and is one of the most powerful guns you can obtain in the game. Compared to the standard minigun, the Gauss Minigun has more power, better handling, and much larger clip size. You can further increase this weapon’s damage by equipping the Ultracite ammo mod to it. Of course, before you can do that you need to get the weapon.

There are multiple ways to obtain the Gauss Minigun in Fallout 76, but you cannot obtain it right away.

After learning how to craft the Gauss Minigun, you will also be able to obtain the weapon through other means.
