UncategorizedTF2 Mod Turns Gun Sounds Into ‘Danger Zone’ By Kenny Loggins
Normally miniguns just sound like regular guns. With this mod, they can sound like Top Gun(s). Yes, I went there, and I’m not sorry. Not even a little bit. The mod, created by Pynkie, gives the Heavy’s minigun the ability to spew chunky ’80s riffs alongside hot lead. If you merely rev it up but…
