General Information

The Sonic Cannon is an incredibly powerful weapon which can kill even heavily armored humans in simply a single shot. While it is not used often at first, it soon becomes the mainstay of the alien armament.

The weapon's lethality is only tempered by it's smaller clip and the fact that firing a shot takes several seconds for power to build in the resonance chamber. An alien(or soldier) armed with the Sonic Cannon can generally not be counted on to fire more than one shot per turn. However, one shot is usually more than enough to finish off whatever it hits.

As a Sonic weapon, the Sonic Cannon lacks auto-fire. However, it is an excellent heavy weapon, and can generally take down whatever you will need it to, so long as you can get around the low ammo clip and the fact that you can only fire it twice per turn. Aimed fire is recommended.
