Destroy the Sun Minigun: Stats, Setup, and Unlock

The minigun in Destroy the Sun is a rapid-fire weapon variant that consumes carried ice cubes to project a continuous stream of freezing projectiles. Developed by Lapis Works on the Roblox platform, the game tasks players with lowering the sun from its scorching starting temperature down to complete freezing before their treat melts. While the default throwing method releases individual ice cubes one at a time, automatic weapons alter the entire resource rhythm.

What Is the Icicle Minigun in Destroy the Sun?

The icicle minigun is a dedicated weapon variant designed for sustained output against the sun and incoming enemy waves. Players can equip it through the weapon inventory after obtaining it from the shop, where it is listed for 1,000 Robux, alongside premium alternatives like the 1,999 Robux Void Minigun seen on the Destroy the Sun game page. In active gameplay, holding down the fire button unloads a steady stream of icicles directly at your aiming reticle.

Unlike beam weapons such as the cryo ray or single-projectile launchers like the ice cannon, the minigun relies on volume of fire. This rapid discharge makes tracking moving weak spots straightforward, but it places extreme pressure on your ammunition reserves. Because firing expends ice constantly, unupgraded players spend more time walking back to the RV cooler than actually attacking.

How Do You Manage Ice Ammo for the Minigun?

Ice reserve management is the primary bottleneck when running any rapid-fire weapon. When using the minigun, your offensive uptime depends directly on backpack storage levels, refill speed, and ability perks purchased at the upgrade computer.

1. Increase backpack capacity at the workbench to expand your reserve from the starting capacity of 5 ice cubes past 77, 140, and up to 230 cubes.
2. Purchase the Instant Refill ability for $4,500 to instantly replenish your backpack without walking back to the ice machine.
3. Activate the Adrenaline Rush ability to temporarily increase your movement speed, weapon fire rate, and ice refill speed simultaneously.
4. Collect falling fragments during active phases to trigger temporary combat perks, such as 5-second to 10-second windows of infinite ice.

Running out of ice during a heavy encounter forces you to disengage. To bypass manual ice scooping entirely, players who own the Permanent Ice Hose gamepass maintain continuous firing without returning to the dispenser.

Minigun Weapon Comparison

Choosing your primary gear depends on whether you prefer sustained projectile spray, high single-target burst, or continuous energy tracking.

The minigun requires significantly more frequent refills than the early throwables, but its rate of fire compensates by racking up cash bonuses quickly when landing direct weak-point hits.

How Does the Minigun Handle Solar Instability Events?

Solar instability events are periodic combat waves where the sun shields itself and spawns defensive monsters across the arena. When an instability alert flashes, the star stops taking cooling damage until all hostile units are cleared from the battlefield.

The minigun shreds basic enemies like Solar Ghouls and flying Solar Eyes within seconds due to its direct tracking. Against heavier targets like the Solar Brute or Pumpkin Reaper, continuous fire prevents them from closing the distance. However, flying threats like the Leeching Wisp must be eliminated quickly, as their energy beams drain player health while ground units swarm. Combining the minigun's projectile stream with damage-boosting perks like Shatter Force ensures the arena is cleared before the next instability pulse arrives.
