The Gunner is one of the four Dwarves in the game. He is also the Dwarf you begin with in the Tutorial.
He is equipped with the "Lead Storm" Powered Minigun, the "Thunderhead" Heavy Autocannon, and the "Hurricane" Guided Rocket System as his primaries, and the "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver and the BRT7 Burst Fire Gun as his secondaries. He has the Zipline Launcher, the Shield Generator, and the "Barracuda" Armor Rig as his equipment, and Sticky Grenade, the Incendiary Grenade, and the Cluster Grenade as his throwables.

About

“	As the Gunner, your position is at the forefront of any battle, cutting down aliens using your high-caliber Minigun and Heavy-Duty Revolver. You are also equipped with an extremely handy Zipline Launcher, allowing the entire team to easily get across almost any chasm or obstacle.
	— Class Description

As the Gunner, you are equipped with a heavy Powered Minigun, Autocannon, or Missile Launcher packing high amounts of damage, while your secondary "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver or BRT7 Burst Fire Gun allows for high damage shots. To navigate the depths, you are equipped with a Zipline Gun, launching a steel-reinforced cable across any pit or chasm. Finally, you are equipped with a Shield Generator, which allows the gunner to protect himself and others.

The Gunner can choose from three different kinds of grenade: the Sticky Grenade which is able to stick to surfaces and enemies, the Incendiary Grenade which creates a fiery explosion and the Cluster Grenade which upon explosion launches several mini-grenades which instantly explode on contact.

Equipment

All classes have nine pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using Credits and crafting resources. There are currently two unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has their own assignment. Once an assignment for a weapon has been completed it then can be purchased within the upgrade terminal.

-As the Gunner, you are the firepower of the team. You are equipped with a heavy [["Lead Storm" Powered Minigun|Powered Minigun]], packing high amounts of damage through its constant spray of bullets, while your secondary [["Bulldog" Heavy Revolver]] allows for high damage shots with decent accuracy at any range. To navigate the depths, you are equipped with a [[Zipline Gun]], launching a steel-reinforced cable across any pit or chasm. Finally, you are equipped with a [[Shield Generator]], which allows the gunner to protect himself and others while laying down his devastating line of fire.

+=== Equipment ===
-As should be expected, the Gunner's weapons have the most damage potential of any playable Dwarf. His Powered Minigun spits bullets at an astonishing thirty-five hundred rounds per minute, more than capable of shredding any poor Glyphid within range. His sidearm, the Bulldog Revolver, demands high accuracy but rewards with punishing damage when hitting enemy weak spots. His unlockable weapons are equally effective; the Heavy Autocannon is slow but fires explosive rounds and is not susceptible to overheating, making it a much better option against swarms. The BRT7 SMG fires rapid bursts which are accurate to long range and can quickly deal damage.

There are currently two unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has their own [[assignments|assignment]]. Once an assignment for a weapon has been completed it then can be purchased within the upgrade terminal.
-The Gunner has potent support options too. His Zipline Gun allows teammates to cross large gaps and carry heavy objects without loss of mobility (especially handy on [[Point Extraction]] missions) and his Shield Generator provides near-invulnerability to all Dwarves stood inside, providing cover from enemies and boosting the regeneration rate of personal Shields. He is a must-have for [[Elimination]] missions, where his immense damage potential is invaluable against a [[Glyphid Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]'s high health.
-The Gunner is not without flaws, however. His Powered Minigun is vulnerable to overheating if fired for extended periods, eventually jamming if temperatures exceed safe levels. This forces the Gunner to use his secondary firearm or his Pickaxe for combat, significantly reducing his damage output. His support tools are limited by low ammo for the Zipline Gun and long recharge periods for the Shield Generator, meaning he has to carefully pick and choose when to use these items.

-===Basic Tips and Strategy===
-* '''[["Lead Storm" Powered Minigun]]'''
-** Be mindful of the Minigun's heat level. You can tell if the minigun is close to overheating by listening to the rumbling sounds it makes at high heat, as well as a bar seen on the barrel of the gun (it will pop out if the gun overheats).
-** Blowthrough Rounds make the gun excel at controlling swarms due to firing through multiple targets, while Staggering Rounds make the gun better at handling better enemies such as Praetorians.
-** The Minigun's accuracy increases as it is fired for extended periods. Start firing by focusing down closer targets before trying to attack targets at range.
-** Tap-firing with the Minigun fully revved up helps to conserve ammo while maintaining a high spin, but is not very heat efficient due to the meter rising slightly sharper on the initial click.
-* '''[["Thunderhead" Heavy Autocannon]]'''
-** The Autocannon uses explosive rounds, but at the moment they deal no friendly fire damage despite the screen effects and reactions from dwarves.
-** Like the Minigun the Autocannon takes time to rev up, but it is capable of firing instantly and does not overheat.
-* '''[["Bulldog" Heavy Revolver]]'''
-** With damage boosting upgrades, often just one shot from the Revolver is enough to instantly kill medium sized enemies such as Glyphid Grunts when hitting their weak spots. Aim well to get the most out of the gun.
-** If you need Red Sugar for health but can't reach it, the Explosive Rounds mod will cause chunks of it to fall from the primary vein, allowing you to collect it.
-** Equip the Deadeye mod for improved accuracy while attempting to flank.
-* '''[[BRT7 Burst Fire Gun]] (a.k.a. Burt)'''
-** The Burt's spread recovers quickly, making it an effective long-ranged weapon when fired in a controlled manner.
-***Firing too quickly causes a sharp increase in recoil, which is exacerbated with mods like Longer Burst. Only spam fire at close to point-blank range.
-** Like the Revolver, the Burt is best used when aiming for weak spots on a target. Upgrades such as Hollow Point Rounds increase this damage.
-* '''[[Zipline Gun]]'''
-** Use Ziplines for long drops or unreachable caves, but watch out for Mactera Spawn; their spit attacks can knock you off the line.
-** The Gunner is a very useful class on Point Extraction missions, as his Ziplines can be used to easily transport [[Aquarq]]s back to the minehead.
-** Consider how much use you will get out of a Zipline before firing it as they can not be recovered once deployed and the Gunner doesn't carry many. Don't spend your ziplines frivolously, such as for crossing short gaps or collecting resources; jobs like these are better suited for the [[Engineer]]'s Platform Gun.
-** Depending on the angle, if you're hit off of a Zipline you can grab back on by pressing E the moment before you begin to fall.
-*'''[[Shield Generator]]'''
-** Shield generators not only protect you from projectiles and prevent glyphids from entering the space, but they also massively increase the regeneration of personal Shields.
-** Fall back inside your shield generator if you need to reload your autocannon or wait for your minigun to cool down during large swarms.
-** Shield generators are an invaluable tool during [[Salvage Operation]]s, remember to use them if enemies are overwhelming the Uplink/Fuel Cell zones.
-** Be mindful of how you use Shield Generators. Not only is your supply limited but there is a cooldown between deploying them.
