Auto Cannon
This is the automatic version of the Heavy Cannon. It retains the versatility of the Heavy Cannon and features a larger magazine as well as the capability for automatic fire.
Drawbacks worth noting:
- 1. To compensate for the larger clip capacity, the bullet calibre has been reduced slightly.
- 2. To prevent the weapon from overheating, the Auto Cannon's rate of fire is greatly reduced in burst mode[1].
- 3. The Auto Cannon is much heavier than the Heavy Cannon, which also makes it slightly harder to aim with.
Despite the drawbacks, this weapon is truly devastating against lightly armoured opponents, particularly when using a belt of high explosive shells.
Pros: Burst mode, varied shells, high stopping power, large clip capacity
Cons:
- Very heavy, very slow burst mode
- AC-AP, Standard Rifle, and Standard Pistol cannot damage XCOM Power Armor or Cyberdisk
- Auto shot takes a third longer than HC snap-shot
Stats:
Notes: [1] This is true. The Auto Cannon is the slowest auto-fire weapon in the entire game. It's also the 2nd least accurate burst mode.
