Is the Laser Cannon Worth It?

Theoretically Unlimited Ammo

Tier Rating A Tier A Tier

After the buff given to the Laser Cannon, if you have good control on the fire rate, this weapon has the potential to be a good game-changer. With seemingly infinite amount of ammunition, this weapon is good for clutches against mobs and even elite enemies.

How to Unlock Laser Cannon

Available after Reaching Level 5

Laser Cannon can be unlocked for purchase after reaching level 5. You can buy this Stratagem for 4000 Requisition Slips in the Ship Management console located inside your ship.

How to Use Laser Cannon

Throw and Equip

The Laser Cannon can be called in the form of a supply drop. Throw the Stratagem in a location where you can pick up the supply—preferably close to you. Once the supply drops, interact with it to obtain and equip the Laser Cannon.
