📋 About This Mod
UAC/5 Minigun
This mod upgrades the standard UAC/5 so that it works more like a real multi barrelled cannon. There is also a version with NO JAMMING!
Original UAC/5
1 shell every 0. 2 seconds
4 shell burst
1. 5 damage per shell
0. 25 heat per shell
Total Damage: 4 x 1. 5 = 6
Total Heat: 4 x 0. 25 = 1
UAC/5 Minigun
1 shell every 0. 05 seconds
12 shell burst
0. 5 damage per shell
0. 083 heat per shell
Total Damage: 12 x 0. 5 = 6
Total Heat: 12 x 0. 083 = 0. 996 (meh! close enough!)
I have also swapped the audio effect to the AC/10 Burst sound effect which fits quite nicely.
Range, tier mods etc all remain the same as the original UAC/5.
Installation
Download the zip file and extract the single file (MW5Mercs-WindowsNoEditor427.pak) to your MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Content\Paks folder.
You may need to edit the number at the end of the filename if it conflicts with any other pak files you may be using.
Important Information
This mod replaces the standard UAC/5. It does not add a new UAC/5 so any mechs currently equipped with a UAC/5 will benefit from the dakka dakka!
This mod upgrades the UAC/5 autocannon in MechWarrior 5 to behave like a proper multi-barreled cannon with rapid fire, replacing the standard single-shot mechanic. It's a small, focused gameplay tweak for players who want a more authentic rotary cannon feel. With 251 endorsements and 4,726 downloads, it has a modest but dedicated following, though it hasn't been updated since January 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 251 endorsements and nearly 5k downloads.
- Delivers exactly what it promises: turns the UAC/5 into a rapid-fire rotary cannon.
- No extra bloat—just a focused tweak for one weapon.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2020—may be incompatible with newer game patches.
- Only affects the UAC/5, so if you wanted other autocannons changed, this isn't it.
- No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
For MechWarrior 5 players who love the UAC/5 but wish it fired like a true rotary cannon. If you're a purist who wants a more authentic feel without overhauling the whole game, this is a quick add. Skip if you're looking for broader weapon rebalances or if you're on a recent game version that might break it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2020, check your game version and back up your save before installing to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and test it in a quick mission to see if the rapid fire works as expected.
- Pair it with other weapon mods carefully—this only changes the UAC/5, so ensure no other mods alter the same weapon.
