Cannon



The Cannon is an interactive furniture item purchased from the Pirate for. It can be placed on the ground and, when activated, either by a Player (consuming a Cannonball) or by wire, fires an arcing cannonball that explodes on contact, dealing heavy damage without destroying blocks. The Cannon is powerful but immobile, functioning as a fixed gun emplacement, and so is best suited for tasks such as home defense.

A more powerful version of the Cannon known as the Bunny Cannon is sold by the Pirate when the Party Girl is present and one Hardmode boss (Not including Queen Slime ) is defeated.

Use
Once placed, the angle of the Cannon can be adjusted by right-clicking either side of the Cannon to rotate it in that direction, or tapping the side of the cannon. There are 9 possible orientations and it cannot fire downward, though the arcing trajectory of the cannonballs can be used to hit targets below the emplacement. Each click/tap tilts the Cannon by one step (22.5°).

The Cannon is fired by left-clicking it with a cannonball in hand, while pressing the Auto Select key with a cannonball in your inventory, or tapping the cannon with a cannonball in hand. In either case, the cannonball is consumed. On, it can also be triggered by wire. Depending on where the wire is connected, it will either shoot a cannonball or rotate toward the side the wire is on. If triggered by wires the cannonballs will do no damage.
