Slag Cannon

The Slag Cannon is one of the nine Weapons available in to kill Enemies. It is the first new weapon to be added, introduced in the Content Update #2, and first found in the The Priory.

The Slag Cannon is a large, blocky launcher-type weapon, appearing like a some sort of excavation device. It fires molten Ore, housed in its firing chamber (as it can be seen through the vent slits on the weapon). Its combat role can be compared to a rocket launcher: its projectiles have a perfectly straight trajectory, a somewhat high velocity (they are significantly faster than Retcher's Cyst balls) and deliver splash damage as well.

The primary firemode of the Slag Cannon launches Ore balls at a relatively fast pace, enabling effective suppressive fire against packs of enemies. The secondary firemode allows to fire bigger and stronger projectiles, but has a lower rate of fire. Whereas the primary attack uses two Ore pieces per shot (or just one if not enough ammo is available), the secondary requires five of them. The maximum supply of the Ore is 100 units. The Oppressors drop Ore packs as loot, which hold 20 Ore units.
