It may be the counterpart of the ' Hurricane' minigun.

In the 7 Wonders of Crysis 3 video Prophet mentions that the Typhoon was created to "hit the Ceph and hit them hard." He also mentions that it is the culmination of 2000 years of human warfare.

Electromagnetic nature of the Typhoon was also confirmed by the Crytek's description of this weapon: "This epitome of human-designed weapons technology uses electromagnetic technology to fire 500 rounds a second." It's simply a Gauss submachine gun combined with improved multiple barrel technology similar to the Metal Storm's solution. The magazine itself is divided into two sections: tube-like chambers containing pellets and the battery. As shown in "the 7 wonders of Crysis 3: Episode 4" pellets are stored inside the tube-like chambers without any propellant between them. However, the Typhoon most likely incorporates both electromagnetic and Metal storm technologies.

The Typhoon seems to function using electronically initiated superposed load technology (multiple projectiles loaded nose to tail in a single gun barrel with propellant packed between them), similar to weapon prototypes designed by Metal Storm Limited.

The Typhoon is, however, somewhat of an overkill on C.E.L.L infantry so it should be used almost exclusively against Ceph if the player wishes to conserve ammunition. A single burst can kill a C.E.L.L operative but occasionally two will be needed, typically against Enforcers, which sometimes carry Typhoons. However, it is a surprisingly effective sniping weapon. The Typhoon is very inaccurate and difficult to control, so it should usually be fired in short bursts. The incrediblely dense spread makes it extremely probable to "critical hit" an enemy's most vulnerable or unarmored spots even when not aimed at. This highly destructive weapon system was designed for decimating hordes of Ceph infantry and dropships in a matter of seconds. Compared to the Mk.60, the Typhoon is a man-portable " minigun" that sacrifices accuracy and stopping-power for an extreme shot-density and multi-target suppression capacity.

Players are able to carry two whole magazines (a total of 1440 rounds). It is first seen in the Crysis 3 E3 2012 demo (with a reflex sight mounted). The Typhoon features a 720-round tube-like chamber magazine that supports extreme 30,000 rpm rate of fire that drains said magazine very quickly.
