- — Grimoire description[1]
The Scorch Cannon is a Fallen relic weapon found throughout the Destiny series.
Overview[edit]
The Scorch Cannon acts as a Solar-damage rocket launcher. Holding down the trigger lets the projectile stick to surfaces and enemies, and gradually charges the explosion to become more powerful the longer the trigger is held. A sound cue allows the user to keep track of the charge of the explosion, alongside the projectile gaining an increasingly unstable aura. An unprimed explosion will kill most weaker enemies in usual content. A fully primed bomb cam even kill a shielded Major, but is usually not enough to kill an Ultra. The cannon can be found in the hands of enemies, but is often dropped by its wielders, allowing nearby Guardians to use it.
The Devil Splicers developed two variants of the Scorch Cannon, the Shock Cannon and the Null Cannon.
A number of Scorch Cannons have been acquired by Lord Shaxx, who supplies them to Guardians during Crucible games of Team Scorched, and rarely in field operations.[2]
