The Autocannon is a powerful static small-grid block weapon that is cheap to build en masse.

Extremely effective against small grids such as fighters and rovers. The telltale sound of an Autocannon firing gives even the most staunch soldier a reason to pause.

The Autocannon has the fastest reload time compared to other Warfare II weapons, but slower than a Gatling gun, and sends out a stream of projectiles that do 500 impact damage each. The trajectory is affected by a significant bullet drop in gravity.

This weapon is very cheap compared to other, heavier weapons! Mounting Autocannons on Custom Turret Controllers is a very good idea, both as a point defence and as an assault weapon.

Construction[]

The Autocannon's size is 1x1x5, which makes it a light-weight and almost compact choice for any small-grid fighter. It has two small conveyor ports to reload ammunition from the conveyor system.

Inventory/Ammunition[]

The cannon’s inventory can only hold 72L, which corresponds to three Autocannon Magazines. That is 48 shots, 64 with a magazine already loaded into the gun.
