| − | The '''Loose Cannon''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-made]] [[Weapons#demomanprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. It resembles a pirate-style cannon with a sight near the front of the barrel.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Loose Cannon fires exploding [[Projectiles|cannonballs]] that travel at approximately 1065 Hammer units per second. The cannonballs have a slightly shorter fuse than regular grenades at 2 seconds, but they will not explode on contact with an enemy, instead dealing damage and potent [[knockback]]. Holding fire will prime the cannonball but not shoot it until the button is released, allowing control over the timing of the fuse. As cannonballs cause 50% less damage once they have touched a surface, priming them correctly is key to achieving maximum efficiency. Holding a primed shot for too long will automatically fire the shot, which will immediately explode similar to the [[Beggar's Bazooka]] overloading, and deal damage to the user. Over-shortening the fuse can allow for a strong grenade jump. Similarly to the [[Crusader's Crossbow]], the weapon has inverse distance scaling, dealing more damage at long range than at short range.

| − | '''Note:''' Explosive damage varies depending on how it hits a player. The larger the classes' hit box and the closer to the explosion, the more damage delivered. The further away from the explosion, the less damage. Explosions do the most damage when they happen at the mid point of a player model. The explosion will cover more of the hit box, thus doing the most possible damage. Distance between the target and user does not affect the Grenade Launcher's damage.
