The '''Machine Gun series ''' are Real Time chips that fires a volley of 9 shots that can track the enemy's movement. It deals {{Element|6|Cursor}} element, [[Statuses_(BN6)#Flinching|Flinching]] damage.


Hits up to 9 panels.
When used in Beast Out, the user stays in place.
Cursor appears on the bottom panel of the targeted enemy’s column. Moves up, then down, then up, and down again. If the enemy moves horizontally; when the cursor arrives at the top or bottom panel, the cursor will move in that horizontal direction.
The cursor moves the same speed regardless of the chip level.

* Machine Gun starts upwards from the bottom row, on the enemy's column. The hitbox alternates between moving upwards and downwards after reaching the bottom and top row, respectively, until 9 shots run out.
 
* If the enemy changes columns, Machine Gun will also change columns, but only one at a time and only after reaching the bottom or top row.
 
* Machine Gun cannot track to the user's column and further behind. If the enemy is already out of firing range when Machine Gun is used, it will start on the last column. Otherwise: If the enemy moves out of firing range, Machine Gun will default to changing columns from left to right. If the enemy moves into firing range, Machine Gun will begin tracking again.
==Frame Data==
All versions of Machine Gun share the following frame data:
* Have a 8 frame startup.
 
* The crosshair appears on frame 3. It moving to the next panel takes 9 frames.
 
* First shot hits on frame 9. Every shot after takes another 9 frames. Frames on which each shot hits: 9/18/27/36/45/54/63/72/81. These are also the frames on which the crosshair disappears.
 
* After a shot hits the bottom or top row, Machine Gun takes 1 frame to determine whether the enemy has changed columns. On the frame after that, the crosshair reappears, signaling which column Machine Gun will continue firing on.
** For example: On frame 27, the 3rd shot hits the top panel. On frame 29, the crosshair reappears, either on the middle panel of the same column (if the enemy has not changed columns) or the top panel on the next column closer to the enemy (if the enemy has changed column). On frame 36, the 4th shot hits the panel determined by the crosshair.

Competitive Overview

Machine Gun is an incredibly versatile chip series and finds home in many folders.

  • Thanks to its tracking ability, almost fieldwide range and Element 6 Cursor.png Cursor element, it can reliably remove traps such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 188.png AntiNavi and Chip Icon 6 Standard 190.png AntiSwrd. It is also a popular choice to attach Chip Icon 6 Standard 193.png Uninstll and Chip Icon 6 Standard 192.png WhiCapsl since Chip Icon 6 Standard 055.png MachGun1 comes in * code.
    • Combining with using a Element 6 Wind.png Wind element attack to remove barriers (i.e. Chip Icon 6 Standard 079.png WindRack, Tengu Cross) beforehand increases the chance of Machine Gun connecting.
    • The Rush NPC can prevent the enemy from using Chip Icon 6 Standard 179.png Invisibl to dodge Machine Gun.
Using Machine Guns in Beast Rush to stop Colonel Force's damage (will not work if Machine Gun is the first attack in Beast Rush)
  • Machine Gun is a notorious Dust Cross and Ground Cross check, causing players to think very carefully whether to use these forms.
  • Chip Icon 6 Standard 055.png MachGun1 in * code offers the user to move through their folder more fluidly and be more aggressive with their other attacks. Chip Icon 6 Standard 056.png MachGun2 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 057.png MachGun3 is used over Chip Icon 6 Standard 055.png MachGun1 if the user does not wish to use Machine Gun with Chip Icon 6 Standard 193.png Uninstll, and/or simply requires more damage output.
  • Erase Cross increases Machine Gun's damage by 30 per shot. Multiple shots connecting will deal hundreds of damage in a few seconds.
  • An enemy with no SuprArmr caught in the middle row will take the remaining shots to that row.


  • The long firing animation of up to 80 frames can be used to delay triggering the user's Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg for longer than most attacks.

Counterplay

  • While Machine Gun can be difficult to dodge and cause momentary panic, it always follows set movement rules as outlined above. Studying these and staying calm can go a long way towards dodging Machine Gun.
  • A well-timed barrier-type chip such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 182.png Barr200 and Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur can help the enemy avoid Machine Gun.
  • To avoid being caught by surprise by Machine Gun, the enemy can camp the top row. Moreover, generally the top row will take the least shots.
  • The enemy can also use Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab and Chip Icon 6 Standard 164.png PanlGrab to move to or behind the user's column, completely dodging Machine Gun.
  • An enemy using the Risky Honey series can utilize Machine Gun to fire many bee swarms, quickly reversing the situation.
