linear cannon

Baroque and kite-like volumes of metal are arranged on an axis as a lathe to shave dimensionality off their inner spaces. A giant stock and grip of painted fullerite support their tremendous weight.

Weapon Class: Heavy Weapon
Accuracy: High
-25 move speed

Perfect

The linear cannon is a very accurate high-tier heavy weapon that is powered by energy cells, and which fires vibro projectiles.

Other than rare, randomly-generated relic firearms, the linear cannon is notable for being the only missile weapon with vibro projectiles, although arc winders and high-voltage arc winders may serve a similar purpose due to not using PV at all.

Vibro Penetration

Main article: Vibro weapons

The linear cannon's vibro projectiles have adaptive penetration that always matches the target's AV value, meaning that they are almost guaranteed to penetrate and deal damage. This makes the linear cannon an excellent weapon against very high-AV targets, such as leering stalkers or chrome pyramids. However, the tradeoff is that the linear cannon will usually only penetrate once or twice, and will almost never penetrate more than 3 times; on average, it will penetrate 1.56 times, dealing 20.28 damage. For lower AV targets, a weapon with fixed PV that is significantly higher than the AV of the target would typically do more damage.

	Probability	Damage Dealt
At Least 1 Penetration	99.2%	2d122-24 (Avg: 13)
At Least 2 Penetrations	47.9%	4d124-48 (Avg: 26)
At Least 3 Penetrations	8.7%	6d126-72 (Avg: 39)
At Least 4 Penetrations	0.3%	8d128-96 (Avg: 52)
At Least 5 Penetrations	0.0001%	10d1210-120 (Avg: 65)

Obtaining

The linear cannon can be:

• Found as random loot in high-tier zones or occasionally equipped by random creatures.
• Crafted with the Tinker III skill, after obtaining the required schematic.
• Disarmed from linear cannon turrets.
