This is a guide to Aiming the Cannons in Monster Hunter World (MHW) Iceborne. Read on to learn how to aim Cannons and launch those Cannonballs against monsters to take them down easier!
Cannons are Artillery weapons that are most commonly used on siege monsters. This is particularly great with the Heavy Arillery Skill to increase the cannonball's damage significantly.
You can fire the cannon balls by standing behind the cannon. This will unload all cannons at the targeted direction. Cannon's cannot be fired if it has no ammo.
By standing at the side of the cannon, you'll be able to push it, thus changing its angle. Use this to aim at unaware monsters for a massive surprise damage!
All cannons have a pile of cannonballs lying around them, you can pick one up at a time and load it to the Cannon. Only a maximum of 5 Cannonballs can be loaded in a single cannon.
