Dual Chainguns: Gunny and Cha-Cha
Mauga's dual chainguns are central to his gameplay and identity. Each gun has a unique function that synergizes with the other:
- Incendiary Chaingun "Gunny": This weapon ignites enemies, dealing burn damage over time.
- Volatile Chaingun "Cha-Cha": This weapon deals critical damage to burning targets.
This combination encourages an aggressive playstyle where players first set enemies ablaze with Gunny, then follow up with Cha-Cha to maximize damage output. His robust health pool and defensive abilities complement his offensive capabilities, allowing him to sustain himself while dishing out significant damage with his dual firearms.
