Executioner's. Gauss weapons have explosive ammo and they make splash damage, furious buff resets if splash damage hits other enemies besides the one you're shooting.

I was going to say Furious as I prefer bonuses that apply at all times over conditional ones. But then like Eriskumma said, I noticed it was specifically a gauss minigun. Yeah, Furious resets its bonus when you hit another target. Go for Executioners in this case.

Furious and explosive is a bad mix for any gun. Either 2nd star explosive effect or naturally explosive bullets. Gauss mini has bullets with a small explosive effect.

As mentioned hitting anything other than your intended target will reset the furious effects damage stacks. Literally any other effect is better. It is fine is you can guarantee only ever hitting one enemy, but that is not going to happen all the time.

i really only bring it out for certain events cause it chews up ammo, but i guess i can stick with what I have and get rid of the furious then.

Neither. Maybe Executioner's is fixed now; previously it only kicked in around 20-30% health. Either way if you open with enough damage to get to that point, anyway, why bother? Better to have an effect like Mutated as with more than 4 strikes you'll be outdoing any damage with executioners; if you need 3 or fewer strikes to kill your targets then you don't need the Executioners effect at all, and it's completely useless. **The executioners effect is ONLY good on high damage weapons for high HP bosses; it's still out performed by a handful of other effects but if you have AA in perks it does beautifully on say, a plasma flamer - but again with that DPS, why bother when other effects are more versatile?

Furious is excellent for one on one combat. The failings are, to my knowledge, with automatic melee and otherwise weapons don't register the effect unless you actually click the attack button again- so you holding down a chainsaw will register as a single strike and Furious doesn't activate. If I'm in some way mistaken or that's fixed, there's also the issue of Furious effect ceasing any time a different enemy takes damage which makes it terrible for fighting groups of mobs. Any creature-specific legendary Slaying effect or anti armor will have better results.

Go for medics. I got one that's a god roll for a Medics build. I am planning on entirley re-perking my lvl 500 character for it. (Can't trade it, soo...)

i play solo though and tend not to join teams unless the SCORE demands i do and i had to use my reroll to get rid of a stupid daily ops thing. I also have a anti-armor one I use too.

furious is always garbage, even nocturnal is superior

executioners is bugged its a 1.5x multiplier not additive damage like it should be

so against weakened enemies its death... hence its very popular in pvp
