The P2-120 HESH is a primary weapon available to the Prowler. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The P2-120 High Explosive Squash Head is the Prowler's specialized anti-infantry cannon. Though it deals moderately high damage-per-shot, it does not wield the quick reload speed of the P2-120 HEAT nor the raw damage-per-shot or velocity of the P2-120 AP. The P2-120 HESH instead incorporates a more lethal explosive payload, with the splash able to damage infantry out to longer distances than the Prowler's other cannons.

Unlike most other tank cannons, the Prowler's main cannons feature a two-shot magazine, with a 500ms refire delay between each shot. After the last shot in a magazine, the refire delay must be incurred before a reload can begin, meaning that in scenarios where both rounds are fired the weapon's reload will take 500ms (0.5s) longer than expected.
