C85 Canister

The C85 Canister is a NC specific anti-infantry gun for the Vanguard. It is an explosive-shell shotgun which can take down multiple infantry in quick succession, but is less effective against vehicles due to its small magazine.

Effectiveness
Shots to kill assuming all pellets hit the target.

Ribbons and Medals
With any vehicle weapon, it is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with a vehicle weapon. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the vehicle weapon.

 * Dev Note: The Canister needed its range and damage brought in, and moving to the HMG resistance type removes an extra resist type from the game and enables it to damage heavy armor. The pellet spread changes ensure the effective range is brought in. Lowering the damage caused a dilemma, without adjusting the other attributes of the weapon; it needed to lose its one hit kill potential or needed its RPM reduced. We did both: RPM change on the Vanguard and lower damage on the Harasser. Being a fast, close range and aggressive platform, the Harasser variant keeps its faster fire rate, while the slower Vanguard can take more time to line up its shots.

 * The reload speed certification lines for top guns, air vehicle non-nosegun (and non-bellygun) weapons have been standardized at 10/14/17/19/20% reload speed.
