The devastator cannon is another step up the alien technology tree, packing even more firepower than the [[Disrupter gun]], while possessing greater range and accuracy. Used in one hand in aimed mode it is very deadly at long ranges, capable of killing unshielded foes in 2 or 3 hits, and shielded foes in 5 or 6. The other way to use Devastator cannons is to give a soldier two, on either full auto or snap shot firing modes, and having the soldier lay down covering fire, suppressive fire, or destroying terrain. In close combat this weapon is unrivaled in close combat, cutting through any alien in seconds. However, it is capable of cutting down unshielded soldiers in 2 or 3 hits, and very often critically wounding a soldier in only one hit. Its great accuracy makes this weapon exceptionally dangerous, especially when coupled with cloaking devices, as the aliens often do, and pouring fire onto an enemy who can't see you. Aliens with this gun should be your first priority targets until the missiles start appearing. | The devastator cannon is another step up the alien technology tree, packing even more firepower than the [[Disrupter gun]], while possessing greater range and accuracy.
