The Alien Cannon is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 10.1.0 update.
Description
This is an Alien themed Heavy weapon that has blue and white colors and a little cyan in it. It has decent damage, medium fire rate, low capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance
It appears to be a very sophisticated alien weapon, mostly white with some light-blue details. There are also some particles floating near the extremity of the cannon appearing to be the projectiles of the Weapon. A blue scope is mounted on the top of the gun and the player holds the white handle near the bottom.
Performance
This is a high-damaging weapon. It shoots light blue projectiles that leave blue particles behind them. If the projectile hits a solid object, it will bounce off it, then ricochet from another object and fly in the air. If the projectile hits nothing, it will explode with a small blue blast after flying sometime. If a projectile hits an enemy, it will deal some damage to him/her and produce a blue blast.
While reloading, the weapon's magazine is taken off the weapon, then put back into it. The reload animation is 4 seconds long.
This weapon is non-delay and can't be used for Rocket Jump (PG3D) because of 
attribute.
Strategy
It deals average damage, average fire rate, slightly low capacity, and slightly low mobility.
Tips
- Use this in close to medium range because it has a scope but it does NOT work, unfortunately.
- Use this against weakened players for better ammunition conserving and quicker kill registering.
- Don't stop strafing while attempting to kill because strafing confuses the player from trying to kill you.
- You can kill the player by hitting the wall, but however, be at least a bit accurate while using this, and also, fight in a small distance due to this weapon having a bullet travel time.
- Due to its low mobility, it's best using this when being defensive. Also, try your best to avoid snipers because without accessories that boost your speed and/or jump at least, you will have a difficult time being sniped constantly and easily if going offensive over and over again.
- More efficiency in killing, fire this weapon in close combat or in enclosed areas, for ricochet purposes.
- Since it has ricochet, or bounces off walls, use it in corridors such as Silent School.
- Due to its rather large area damage, it's recommended to target multiple players at once.
- Go for the weakened players for better ammunition conserving and quicker kill registering.
Counters
- Pickoff its users from long ranges.
- If in tight corridors, stay away from them as the ricochet can bounce around and hit you

Equipment Setups
