70mm Shotgun Cannon

The 70mm Shotgun Cannon is a Mounted Weapon that can be installed on a Trampler's weapon mount. It comes in four different variants and offers unparalleled damage potential at close range in exchange for a relatively short effective range compared to other mounted weapons.

The cannon can only fire a single 70mm Shell at a time and must be reloaded after every shot. The time needed to reload the cannon is rather long, effectively limiting the weapon's rate of fire behind it's reload speed. Higher tier cannons benefit from an improved reload speed over their lower tier counterparts, which in turn cause them to deal higher dps though a higher rate of fire.

The cannon excels in close range combat, being capable of instantly killing multiple crew members in a wide spread with a single shell. The cannon is also highly damaging against trampler components, only needing a few shells to outright destroy most compartments (reactors included). This damage drops off sharply with distance, however, causing the weapon to do negligible damage to both crew and tramplers at anything other than short range.

Unlike other mounted weapons, the cannon is outfitted with a shield that helps protect the gunner from return fire.
