Description
A solid basic cannon turret. Very little but packs a nice punch.


The GSO 3-Pound Cannon is a grade 2 Weapon block manufactured by GSO. Like all GSO blocks, it can be crafted with a GSO Fabricator.

It has 1 attachment point(s) and takes up 1 cell(s).

Usage[ | ]

Being the first splash damage weapon one can obtain, the 3-pound cannon does much higher damage than most other GSO weapons around this stage. Its fire rate is average from expectations - Slow in both projectile velocity and fire rate, but surprisingly devastating if it is on target. It is also quite compact and nimble, allowing techs with large surface areas to mount many of them and get good results with.

It is extremely effective in the early game, as enemy techs around this period have weaker shields, and when they are depleted, the 3-Pound cannon can quickly take them out with heavy splash damage, provided if the user compensates the weapon's slow projectile velocity. However, keep in mind that this will make recovering parts difficult, as early game parts are often too fragile to survive more than a handful of shots from the cannon.

Trivia[ | ]

  • This block was introduced in the earliest version of the game.
