Mauler Cannon

The  is a bombardment weapon mounted to the Bastion Fleet Carrier. It is available to the pilot of a carrier.

Directed via waypoint rather than aiming, the Bastion's Mauler Cannons fire an endless torrent of lethal high explosion shells at ground targets, dealing incredibly high damage to all targets within 20 meters. The payload delivered by these cannons is incredibly lethal to all targets it can hit, and they are capable of quickly tearing apart anything unfortunate enough to be caught in the firing line.

Mauler cannon explosions release an impulse, knocking back all targets hit—including allies.

To use the Bastion's Mauler Cannons, access the waypoint menu by right-clicking on the map or minimap anywhere within 1000 meters of the carrier, and use the  Bastion Attack Coordinates waypoint to designate a location. The cannons will continue to fire until the waypoint is cancelled or moved, or the airship moves outside of the 1000 meter maximum range of the weapons system.
