The Shotgun Cannon is a primary weapon for the Flanker. It seems to be a combination of the lever-action Winchester Model 1887 and Blunderbuss shotguns with an additional drum magazine attached to the bottom of the gun.
Holding M1 (left mouse button) will make the player load up to 4 shots. The shots fire 25% more rapidly after letting go the M1, however it does not stop until the rounds are fully fired.
The fire rate is notably fast upon releasing the shots and it can negate the 20% less damage disadvantage that reduces the base damage (100% range) by 4.8 from 6 per pellet.

Tips[]
General[]
- This weapon is similar to the Crankenstein, so treat it as such.
- Don't go up to an enemy and then load it. Always load up your shots and hold before going attacking.
- Only load what you need, constantly loading the max amount of shots can get you killed in some situations.
- Make sure to make your shots count, by wasting shots on a enemy far away you essentially risk yourself from enemy attacks.
- The most vulnerable class with this weapon is the Brute, make sure to go behind the Brute first, then release your flurry of bullets.
- Using this with the Witches Brew can make you be able to deal lots of damage, be warned, however, once you miss and try to reload again, your mini-crit buff is already gone.
Vs. Bosses[]
- The gimmick of loading shots means you won't have to worry about reloading but loading shots wastes time of your Witches Brew so drink it near the boss so you don't waste too much duration.
