The Rubber Ball Cannon is a ranged weapon that shoots bouncy rainbow balls.
Appearance[]
It resembles a blunderbuss firearm, with the end of the purple barrel extending outwards, connected to a smooth, rounded wooden handle. It has a golden trigger, trigger guard, and hammer.
Location[]
The Rubber Ball Cannon can be found on the table in the Saloon.
Usage[]
The Rubber Ball Cannon shoots ball projectiles that ricochet off of entities and terrain, dealing low damage but significant knockback. When fired, the balls start out at roughly twice the size of the barrel, and then slowly shrink as they travel. With a higher weapon scale, the larger projectiles shrink at a fixed rate, rather than proportionally, which means that they will also exist for longer. When fired, the velocity of the player is added to the balls, meaning that as a physics projectile they will deal more damage when the player is walking or jumping forwards.
Due to the projectile's bounciness, the cannon works best in closed spaces, rather than open ones. It’s especially effective in The Graveyard, The Evil Cave, and The Toilet Realm, and less effective in The Wilderness or The Creator’s Plane.
Compared to the Worm Gun, the Rubber Ball Cannon has the same stats except it shoots 3 times slower, fires slightly smaller balls that do more knockback, and the balls do not form a chain.
Trivia[]
- This weapon was likely added as a testing tool, since it was added in the V0.1.0 update, which substantially changed how the physics of the game work. Additionally, it was added alongside the Wand of Kinesis, another physics-based weapon.
- Originally, the Rubber Ball Cannon was called the "Splash Cannon".
