Trivia
- When running out of ammo, the minigun will not start reloading the gun until the user presses the fire or reload button.
- If a user reloads this weapon, his/her move speed will further be decreased. It also happens with the standby mode of the Predator variant.
- There's a sound bug where the user who switches view from a player firing or revving up the Minigun to another player will still hear it looping until the next round starts or the former stops it.
- Instead of holding the M134 by the chainsaw grip and joystick like in-game, most shop model previews holds the minigun as if it has a pistol grip.
- The Zhu Bajie Minigun is named after Zhu Bajie, one of the main characters in the Chinese novel Journey to the West. He is the second disciple of Xuanzang after Sun Wukong.
- It will play a wild boar sound once the user begins to fire.
- It has different hand stand and reload animation.
- The dot light on Zhu Bajie Minigun will change according to how many weapons from the Journey to the West set are currently equipped (also applies to Ruyi Stick and Sha Wujing Dual Handgun):
- Whole set (3 weapons): Red.
- 2 weapons only: Yellow.
- Only 1: White.
