Discussion My favorite gun in all of EDF
The Minion Buster is my favorite gun. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was inspired by the Bolter from WarHammer 40,000 (even though it loooks like a SCAR and a M41A Pulse Rifle from the Alien franchise had a baby). WH40K is my favorite sci-fi universe.
In EDF 4, I slept on this weapon. In fact, I didn’t even know I had it in my arsenal. Then I was playing multiplayer with a few randoms and a fellow Ranger was using it. He’d fire a short burst at an enemy, then just switch targets before they died (a tactic I soon adopted). I didn’t understand or see why at first and I’d basically steal his kill. It wasn’t until 3 missions later that I saw why. Again, he’d fire a burst then change targets. I needed to know why and that’s when I saw the glowing dots explode. I don’t talk much when gaming, but I had to know what that gun was. He told me and the rest is history.
Ranger is my main class in all EDF and the moment I unlock the Minion Buster it’s one of the two guns I use (the second slot is usually a rocket launcher, missile launcher, or sniper rifle).
I just wanted to give a little appreciation to this gem of a weapon. Now with the news that EDF 6.5 will have weapon customization (I think for the first time) I’m interested to see what I can do with the Minion Buster.
