'''Tractor Cannon''' is an exotic [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It's main feature is that each blast causes significant knockback to the target.
==Gameplay==
Tractor Cannon fires Void blasts that knock targets back and stun them. This allows the wielder to either shove enemies into walls, causing extra damage, or off a ledge to kill them outright. Kills with this weapon will trigger its The Scientific Method perk, which will increase movement speed and weapon handling for a short time; the buff's duration is refreshed if the user nets another kill. Its Repulsor Force perk also means enemies will be suppressed and cannot use their abilities for a while, and be be 30% more vulnerable to incoming damage.

PROPERTY OF ISHTAR COLLECTIVE. WARNING: GRAVITY PROPULSOR BEAM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

Chioma Esi met Maya in their undergraduate gym. They got into an argument about deadlifting: was it necessary, was it practical, why was Chioma making so much noise? Maya Sundaresh just couldn't stand the notion that some things were done for their own sake, not because they had any use. Decades later they joined the Ishtar Collective on Venus to study the enigmatic ruins unearthed by the Traveler's terraforming. The first time it happened—Vex code leaping across an airgap, surfing the quantum vacuum from simulation to reality, infecting a utility frame—Chioma pulled an alarm while Maya tried to grab the precious frame with a cargo-grade gravity grapple. She couldn't lift the grapple. Chioma grabbed it, pinned the frame to the wall, and won the argument.

Trivia[edit]

  • The design aesthetic of this weapon is reminiscent of the Hunter's assault cannon in the Halo series.
