Tips

 * The Gorgon is exceptionally useful to fight the Jackal or any other enemy that requires sustained damage.
 * 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 long ranges.
 * You can retain the 'charge' of the fire rate by sprinting. This way the weapon stops shooting but as long as you keep mouse 1 held down, the fire rate will not reset and the weapon will resume fast firing once you stop sprinting.
 * Use the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod to compensate for lost ammo due to the weapons high rate of consuming ammunition on full spool.
 * Speed Trigger decreases the charge time considerably, though the increased maximum fire rate causes the weapon to burn through ammo reserves extremely quickly and cause more misses as the recoil throws bullets out more. Consider firing in bursts.

Trivia

 * The Gorgon Wraith is the second Primary Wraith weapon ever released, following the Strun Wraith.
 * Oddly, the Gorgon Wraith does not include any polarities, only a boost in stats.
 * The Gorgon Wraith can use both the Desert Tactics skin and the Day of the Dead skin.
