Description This formidable cannon fires accelerated projectiles with considerable range and accuracy.

Sniper Cannon is a point damage weapon with high critical chance and range. It is a cannon, so it gains bonus damage against burning targets through perks and talents. Compared to similar 1 slot point cannons like Cannon and Blast Cannon, Sniper Cannon boasts the longest range and highest base critical chance, and shares the same base cooldown as Blast Cannon. However, its base damage is low - therefore its DPS is the lowest of the three cannons.

Before the 4.0 update, Sniper Cannon received a majority of its talents from Bhurt.

Strategies[ | ]

The Sniper Cannon is very perk dependent. Without at least a rare critical chance perk, the Sniper Cannon will under perform other cannons at similar levels. However, the Sniper Cannon has an exclusive set of critical hit chance perks that are higher than the standard cannon critical hit perk. With all the sniper critical perks and talents, an epic sniper with 4 perk slots can reach 45% critical chance. However, it is up to your own discretion how you build your Sniper Cannons.

Sniper Cannons have among the longest ranges of all red items, which allows you to lock on to ships that are outside of your view range. If a friendly Speeder is able to scout the enemy team you are able to target them without them knowing your exact location. The huge range also allows you to finish off enemy ships that are on low hp, but at longer ranges it is advisable to lead your shots rather than tap-fire, especially if they're travelling perpendicular to you.

Even though it isn't advisable to equip the damage against burning ships perk, with a high enough talent training, damage against burning ships talent can be unlocked. And if it is done, it is advisable to hit burning targets for the slight increase in damage.
