The Loose Cannon is a primary weapon for the Annihilator. It is a black cannonball launcher.
Unlike the other grenade launchers, the projectiles do not explode on impact, but rather exactly a second after launch. This can be shortened by charging the weapon with the fire key. If you charge it for longer than a second, it will explode directly in front of the player's view. It additionally has a 10% smaller explosion radius.
The projectiles deal knockback to players and have explosion radius falloff. Hitting a player with the cannonball and explosion will make the explosion mini-crit, a "double donk" icon will appear and a special sound effect will play.
The Loose Cannon has a Halloween-themed reskin called the Jack-O Roger.

Tips[]
- Try to stand at a certain distance where the Loose Cannon will double donk without you putting in too much thought into it.
- It is possible to blast jump by repeatedly "over-charging" the loose cannon, which can be used for advanced movement, such as combining it with a charge.
