This behemoth can pierce through every moving target, and more. Not only does this mean it can wipe out walls and tanks with ease, but it’s high powered shots can take out large groups of cyborgs on a whim. Mix that in with the Gauss Canons naturally high amount of bodypoints, and you’ve got virtual boss sitting around. It’s main vulnerabilities are VTOLS, however. When faced against a large air force, be sure to bring some flack as back up. These things are very expensive!

One thing I never understood is how this is an "upgrade" of a railgun. A guass cannon isn't nearly as powerful as a railgun.

Railguns shoot large projectiles at hypersonic speeds, and small ones at high highersonic speeds. No gauss cannon can do that. Does ten-thousand miles per hour sound fast, otherwise fourty-five HUNDRED feet per SECOND? That's the speed of current, REAL, railguns. Future improvements will only lead to higher speeds, For all warzone purposes, the rounds should hit instantly. (they dont)

Don't overthink it. I don't think Warzone can handle instant-hit weapons anyway.

Basically, this is the ultimate expression of the Cannon tree, providing high health and high punch in one package. Like a super-heavy cannon, of sorts.
