2000 hours in tf2, definitely knows strategy and leadership

As the Gunner, you are the firepower of the team. You are equipped with a heavy Powered Minigun, packing high amounts of damage through its constant spray of bullets, while your secondary "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver allows for high damage shots with decent accuracy at any range. To navigate the depths, you are equipped with a Zipline Gun, launching a steel-reinforced cable across any pit or chasm. Finally, you are equipped with a Shield Generator, which allows the gunner to protect himself and others while laying down his devastating line of fire.

The Gunner can choose from three different kinds of grenade: the Sticky Grenade which is able to stick to surfaces for improved accuracy, the Incendiary Grenade which creates a fiery explosion and the Cluster Grenade which upon explosion launches several mini-grenades which instantly explode on contact.

As should be expected, the Gunner's weapons have the most damage potential of any playable Dwarf. His Powered Minigun spits bullets at an astonishing thirty-five hundred rounds per minute, more than capable of shredding any poor Glyphid within range. His sidearm, the Bulldog Revolver, demands high accuracy but rewards with punishing damage when hitting enemy weak spots. His unlockable weapons are equally effective; the Heavy Autocannon is slow but fires explosive rounds and is not susceptible to overheating, making it a much better option against swarms. The BRT7 SMG fires rapid bursts which are accurate to long range and can quickly deal damage.

The Gunner has potent support options too. His Zipline Gun allows teammates to cross large gaps and carry heavy objects without loss of mobility (especially handy on Point Extraction missions) and his Shield Generator provides near-invulnerability to all Dwarves stood inside, providing cover from enemies and boosting the regeneration rate of personal Shields. He is a must-have for Elimination missions, where his immense damage potential is invaluable against a Dreadnought's high health.
