Killer Instinct (2013)

Combat Traits

Name	Description
Chain Gun Speed	Several of Kilgore's moves use his chain guns. Kilgore starts with a spin speed of zero, and each chain gun use increases the speed by one. At high speeds they fire more bullets and glow orange. Not using the chain guns slowly decreases spin speed.
Overheat	Reaching a chain gun speed of five causes Overheat. In Overheat, all Kilgore's bullets and missiles have reduced range and explode, and some physical attacks have augmented properties. Overheat lasts 12 seconds or until Exhaust is used, resetting the speed to zero.
