The Eridian Cannon is the Eridian equivalent of the Rocket Launcher.

As with the other Eridian weapons, it technically has an infinite amount of ammo, but a limited number of continuous shots.

Special Effects

The Cannon can fire a large ball of energy that explodes on impact with a non-elemental damage area effect. The ball vanishes from sight after some distance and moves extremely slow, making the Cannon less effective at taking out moving targets.

Variations

All versions of this gun have the same accuracy (91.7%) and fire rate (0.4).  The damage dealt by the gun is tied to the level requirement and the gun's body type, while the number of shots the gun can fire and how quickly it recharges is dependent on its magazine. Eridian Cannons appear to use 50 units of magazine energy per shot, and so are capable of firing two to four shots when fully charged. However, the default fire rate is low enough that the magazine begins to recharge before the next round can be fired, possibly allowing for additional shots out of a single magazine. Cannons seem to be generated with nearly all the different sight types.

Unlike the other Eridian weapons, the Cannon has a level 48 class with distinct damage and sale values from level 49 versions. These can only be acquired by killing Master McCloud during playthrough 2.5: regular enemies drop at most level 46 versions, while chests will spawn the more powerful level 49 variants instead.

Notes

  • Lilith's High Velocity Skill can make the balls fly faster, making for a much more effective weapon.
  • This weapon cannot score critical hits on some enemies. It definitely scores critical hits on crabworms (shoot in the eye), and spiderants (shoot the abdomen).

Trivia

  • 010011110100110101000111 is a binary-encoded ASCII string for the letters "OMG", which stands for "Oh My God". [1]
