Gorgon

"The GORGON is a heavy automatic machinegun. The large clip allows it to provide suppressing fire and sustain a high damage rate over a long period of time."

- In-Game Description

The Gorgon is a powerful primary gun with a rapid fire rate and a huge clip. It has a small spool-up period during which it fires slowly.

Advantages

 * High damage per second once fully spooled.
 * High sustainable rate of fire.
 * Largest magazine size of all rifles along with the Supra.
 * Most effective versus enemy clusters.

Disadvantages

 * No polarity mod slots.
 * Requires a short period of time to reach optimal firing rate.
 * Inefficient beyond medium range.
 * Profuse ammo consumption.
 * Slow reload speed.

Acquisition
The Gorgon can be purchased for 225 and the blueprint for  25,000 upon reaching Mastery Rank 3. The method of using credits to purchase this weapon was removed as of update 7.11. Since Update 8 you can gain the blueprint as a Login Reward without having reached rank 3.

Tips

 * The Gorgon is exceptionally useful to fight the Jackal, General Sargas Ruk, Councilor Vay Hek or any other enemy that requires sustained damage. Although you should just shoot down the legs and reload while the Jackal is on the ground. Sustained fire wastes bullets when the boss is transitioning.
 * Critical hit chance is really low so better to not use mods Point Strike and Vital Sense with Gorgon.
 * You might want to experiment with different available mods for this weapon. For instance, simultaneously having all types of damage mods on this weapon will make it absolutely devastating in any situation no matter what other mods you add.
 * Even if the different damage mods aren't leveled very high.
 * After the spool up time, it is possible to use the Gorgon in quick short bursts, allowing you to keep up the high rate of fire, but with less recoil and less bullets wasted, making the Gorgon usable at medium to medium long ranges

Trivia

 * It is used by Lieutenant Lech Kril and General Sargas Ruk in combat as their Long-Gun.
 * This weapon used to have a bug that disallows usage of ammo drops.
