Gemini Driver

"The Gemini Driver is a double-barreled Kinetic weapon that trades range for extra damage. Firing two rounds increases the odds of hitting a target."

General
"For additional firepower, equip your fleets with the new Gemini Driver, this new technology fires 2 rounds of projectiles, increasing your chances of dealing significantly more damage."

- Sybil

The Gemini Driver is a reliable Kinetic weapon specialised for medium-range combat.

It fires a pair of thick blue shells with a fixed spread and reloads rather quickly.

Advantages
Gemini Drivers have excellent mass efficiency compared to other Kinetic weapons, allowing them to be more effective at close range. When paired with Phased Projectiles, enemies are almost guaranteed to lose a large chunk of their health even if they win.

Gemini Drivers also have relatively fast projectiles, this combined with their double-barreled nature vastly improves their accuracy against agile opponents, especially when boosted by Iridium Magnets.

Disadvantages
Despite firing two projectiles at once, enemies can often cut the Gemini Driver's damage output in half by dodging just one out of two projectiles. Gemini Drivers also have a low maximum DPS, allowing other short-ranged weapons such as Thermal Beams to outmuscle them.

Gemini Drivers also have a rather short range that cannot be increased through specials, even Energy weapons outrange them when equipped with Focused Optics V.

Trivia

 * The Gemini Driver and Tempest Driver are the only Kinetic weapons that fire multiple shells in a single shot.
