The Cabal Slug Launcher is a weapon commonly used by Red Legion Colossi.

Overview

These weapons have a slow fire rate, but deal very high impact per shot - roughly on par with the damage output of Hand Cannons, yet with no need to pause for reloading. In addition to delivering considerable damage in a short period of time, Slug Launchers tend to knock a Guardian's aim off-target due to their high impact, impeding one's ability to fight back against a Slug Launcher in a duel. Hence, outnumbering and overwhelming a Colossus wielding this weapon is advisable. Alternatively, if facing a Slug Launcher alone, engaging at a greater distance is effective, providing a significantly better chance to dodge the projectiles and kill the user with a long-range weapon.

Highly dangerous, Guardians should always first seek cover when one is being deployed against them.

Trivia

• The Cabal Slug Launcher and the Cabal Slug Shotgun are so far the only Cabal weapons that deal Arc damage.
• A smaller, rifle-style version of the Slug Launcher is seen wielded by high-ranking Psions from Season of Dawn onwards. These include Inotam, Oblivion's Triune, Ixel, the Far-Reaching and Qabix, Insurgent, as well as Psions with the rank of Imperial Optus.
• The Grand Overture Machine Gun is a playable version of the Cabal Slug Cannon.
