Arsenal

Weapons

Sahara: An assault rifle best known for it's accuracy and low recoil, this weapon is effective for accurately hitting targets. It's damage is a good and it's low magazine size must prompt the user to make their shots count.
Striker 8x10: A quick firing automictic shotgun that is terrific at short engagements. It's rapid-fire-like capability makes the weapon effective in takedown down enemies quickly. The reload time and range may be on the low end, but the magazine size and damage makes up for its negative aspects.
LW6 Revolver: A hard-hitting pistol, this weapon can two-tap headshot [most] enemies. It is on par with other hard-hitting weapons, making one of the top most powerful weapons in the game. However, it takes precision and practice to get the best out of this weapon.
Sledgehammer: The Sledgehammer is a powerful melee weapon, and when fully upgraded, can be scary to go up against. It's power and swing speed are not to be taken lightly, as it can stop most enemies as quickly as it was swung.

Abilities

Gatling Gun: Cannon's main ability, the Gatling Gun is capable of tearing through an entire team, especially if Cannon has the right teamwork backing him up. As a defender, this ability main use is to scare off enemies and to make them hesitant to combat Cannon or engage onto the site/objective. The Gatling Gun also has a shield built onto it, providing Cannon a bit of cover to shield himself from incoming fire. The cover is setup to where Cannon can see his targets as he shoots the weapon, leaving an opening for enemies to land specifically headshots; a double-edged sword for the Gatling Gun wielder.
Conflict Connoisseur: Cannon's passive ability, this grants him ammo that will return to his magazine by chance when landing shots. This also greatly benefits his ability, making it last longer and making it the longest lasting ability in the game. In comparison to a perk such as Replenish, this passive is not as effective as it may seem.

Gadgets

Grenade: An explosive used to drastically damage enemies or to flush them out.
Adrenaline Shot: An important tool used to regenerate health when low. It is great for Cannon because he has low movement speed and his ability decreases his speed when active.

Perks

Cannon's perks are focused in maximizing his endurance and increase the amount of punishment he can take. They also focus on increasing his speed and damage output, making him more viable when trading pokes whilst rotating.
- Tenacity, Bulletproof, and Armor allows Cannon to take extra punishment and survive against most damaging attacks. Life Drain makes Cannon harder to take down if he is consistently downing enemies.
- Evade adds as a movement speed bonus, going along with the Adrenaline Shot.
- Blaster and Shredder Rounds increases his damage output.

Strategy

Cannon plays as a tank, taking more damage than his teammates and is capable of holding down sites/objectives with his perks and utility by sustaining his health. An accurate Gatling Gun user will make enemies rather use gadgets to take him down, wasting their tools if used ineffectively.

Strengths

Difficult to defeat if highly accurate;
Minigun can lockdown objectives;
Perks and Adrenaline Shot allows for holding down areas for prolonged periods.

Weaknesses

Low mobility;
Passive isn't highly effective;
Easy target if unaware of surroundings.
