Raider Scrap Cannon

The Raider Scrap Cannon is a shotgun/special weapon that charges up to fire multiple steel nails, behaving similarly to the Pressurized Impaler. Each nail loaded into the gun increases damage and pellet count, there is no limit to how many nails can be loaded.

In Arena, it can be purchased for Riot Guard as a Series 5 weapon.

In Legion Rising, it can be found the same as any other weapon if the player has the Arena Premium Upgrade DLC.

The abbreviation for this weapon is 'SC.'

Notes/Tips

 * Making this weapon automatic via the Hair Trigger attachment removes the ability to charge shots.
 * Counts as both a Shotgun and a Special weapon for class bonuses


 * Ammo regeneration significantly increases the damage potential of the Scrap Cannon, making it possible to one or two-shot bosses.
 * It is possible to charge shots and swap to another weapon. Upon returning to the scrap cannon the charged shots will be fired. Pairing this with Fast Sling can make it a devastating holdout weapon.
