Yes, the Propulsion Cannon is capable of dealing damage.
The Propulsion Cannon, a versatile utility tool, is designed not only for moving objects but also possesses offensive capabilities. It consistently deals damage to creatures and objects within the game environment, regardless of whether it is loaded with a specific item or used to push objects.
Understanding Propulsion Cannon Damage Mechanics
While the cannon inherently possesses damage-dealing capabilities, its destructive potential can be significantly amplified by the objects it launches. Certain items, when used as ammunition, transform the Propulsion Cannon into a more formidable weapon, combining the force of the cannon with the inherent dangers of the propelled objects.
- Inherent Damage: The cannon itself inflicts damage upon impact, even when simply used to push or repel objects. This means any object propelled at sufficient velocity can harm targets.
- Enhanced Damage with Specific Ammunition: The damage output of the Propulsion Cannon can be greatly increased by launching certain volatile or aggressive creatures. For instance:
- Gas Pods: When Gas Pods are launched, they release a corrosive cloud upon impact, inflicting substantial damage over time to any entities within the affected area.
- Crashfish: Propelling a live Crashfish causes it to detonate on impact, unleashing a powerful explosion that deals significant damage.
This dual functionality makes the Propulsion Cannon a valuable tool for both environmental manipulation and direct combat, especially when players strategically utilize the dangerous properties of certain in-game items as ammunition.
