linear cannon

A motley cacophany of short wire loops surrounds a long metal rail. An ungainly stock and magazine are mounted to the side.

Weapon Class: Bows & Rifles
Accuracy: High

Perfect

The linear cannon is a very accurate high-tier rifle 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.

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. 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.
• Obtained as a faction heirloom during The First Council of Omonporch if the player's chosen faction has an heirloom type of rifles. Refer to the faction heirlooms page for details about the chance of obtaining a linear cannon.
• Crafted with the Tinker II skill, after obtaining the required schematic.
• Disarmed from linear cannon turrets.
