Pass-Through

The HMN Laser Cannon is a very powerful special weapon. It fires massive beams that travel instantly and linger, that infinitely pierce enemies with perfect accuracy. It suffers from poor ammo efficiency and massive heat buildup, as well as a short range.

It is normally only found in Arena, where it can be purchased for Engineer as a series 5 weapon.

For 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 'LC.'

Pass-Through

Notes/Tips[]

Starts at 0% heat, unlike most weapons which start at 10% heat
Does NOT count as a laser weapon for Engineer bonuses

Since the Laser Cannon has perfect accuracy, the Twin Link II item can be used to effectively double the weapon's damage for a short period of time; note that firing the Laser Cannon does not trigger the Twin Link II item, another weapon must be used to trigger the item
The Muzzle Compensator attachment can be used to increase the damage output without any noticeable penalties

Trivia[]

Prior to its release, the HMN Laser Cannon had the same modules/perks as the Raider Scrap Cannon and operated the same way, requiring a charge-up to fire.
