Overview

The laser cannon serves as an effective support weapon when paired with a supply backpack and stun grenades, offering virtually infinite ammunition as long as it does not overheat, functioning like a sniper laser at long range, and relying on weak-point targeting to neutralize Hulks, Devastators, Berserkers, light foes, and walkers, although it is ineffective against tanks and requires targeting specific areas like top miniguns, the face, or the belly on Factory Striders.

During gameplay demonstrations, Daniel landed and engaged various enemies including a Hulk Penetrator and a Factory Strider before dying after falling into water, alongside another player using a railgun and a request made for tactical advanced weaponry.
