    What's the point of using more than 1 red item if the gatling gun shoots forever?

    Based on the introduction video it has no cooldown

    I was assuming that when you press fire once, then it fires a fixed amount of bullets (about 12) which lasts about the same length of time as global cooldown 2.5secs .During that time I assumed you don't need to continue to hold down 'fire' (it won't stop shooting if you let go) but you do need to keep the cross hairs on target.
    The weapon would then begin it's own cooldown.
    Anyway that's my speculation as to how it works.

    Did you even watch the video?
    I was hoping at first that it was a 4 round burst gun then after the last shot it starts the cooldown. 12 seems a little excessive IMO

    It could have an overheat mechanic where you can't just fire it forever

    Personally I don’t think it will fire forever. I believe it will have a fixed amount of bullets (which can be increased by training) which will all be used by the end of the global cooldown (2.5secs), so that you’re ready to fire your next weapon.

    The end fight in the video is clearly multiple salvos, watch for the cuts.

    Most likely 12 shot salvos.

    The shooters could have had more than one gun equiped and just switched to those

    there
    If it continues shooting for a period of time before stopping, then what would it do if you switch to a different weapon right after shooting it? Will it still continue firing bullets when a different weapon is displayed?

    Good question. if it stops firing when you switch weapons, then you would be forced to have the item selected which wouldn't let shooters take advantage of higher dps from more weapons.

    Perhaps after it’s fired, it won’t let you select something else

    It looks like it was during an event. Because a shipwreck disappeared (usually happens in TDM).

    Maybe a Gatling gun event next? :D
