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.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High damage per second once fully spooled.
 * High sustainable rate of fire.
 * Largest magazine size of all rifles.
 * Absolutely devastating against large groups of enemies.
 * The first shot is 100% accurate, can be used as a semi-automatic rifle.

Disadvantages:
 * No polarity mod slots.
 * Accuracy is unreliable at medium to long range.
 * Takes a few seconds to spool up to full speed, rendering the gorgon much less effective against singled out enemies until further upgraded.
 * It's easy to run out of ammo.

Acquisition
The Gorgon can be purchased for 50,000 (credits)  or 225 ( platinum) upon reaching Mastery Rank 3 and  can be sold for 7,500

Recommended Loadout
Note: You might want to experiment with different available mods for this weapon. For instance, simultaneously having all types of damage mods (freeze, fire, armor piercing, and electric) 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).
 * Mods: MultiShot, Fire Rate, Ammo Cap and Armor Pierce mod
 * Optional: Multishot Mod is a must in this gun. Adding a Reload Speed Mod is highly recommended.
 * Sidearm: Bolto/Akbolto/Viper
 * Melee: Any heavy melee weapon
 * Artifacts: Rifle Amp, Rifle Scavenger

A mod increasing base damage would also be a nice addition, as it could potentially increase the DPC (damage per clip) by massive ammounts.

Tips

 * The Gorgon is exceptionally useful to fight the Jackal, Hyena, 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.
 * Although the accuracy is stated at 11.8, the Gorgon's first few shots without spinup (Manual Clicking), have a high accuracy, and can be used to take out targets in a few shots; effectively making it a semi-automatic rifle.

Trivia
It is used by Lieutenant Lech Kril in combat as his Long-Gun.
