Cannon image

The cannon is a mountable ranged weapon used to fire cannonballs.

"A cannon's boom is a terrible thing that fills men with awe and fear. The euphoria of firing upon an enemy is indescribable, as is the despair of hearing its thunder while iron rains down upon you."
- Captain Cade

Usage

Attacking:

Cannons can be mounted by players to aim. Once filled with sufficient ammunition, hitting a cannon will cause it to fire the first available cannonball and use a gunpowder item along with it. Cannonballs are fired with an initial impulse of 27 m/s and can have various effects on impact.

Ammunition:

Cannons require two different items to be fired: any cannonball and gunpowder. As cannonballs stack up to 8 per slot, with the cannon having 9 slots, a full cannon inventory can hold up to 64 cannonballs and gunpowder. You can find an exmaple of this here (the positions of items do not matter):
