The hellsphere cannon is an mechanoid-only ranged weapon added by the Biotech DLC. It is the main armament of the diabolus.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

Acquisition[edit]

Hellsphere cannons spawn on all diaboli, including those gestated by a colony. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on death, downing, or complete loss of manipulation like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the Debug actions menu but, like all unobtainable weapons, will disappear after being dropped.

Summary[edit]

The hellsphere cannon fires a projectile that explodes in a radius of 4.9. The explosion has phenomenal power; it has a base damage of 800. For reference, an antigrain warhead has base damage of 550. Thankfully, it can be avoided if you move quickly. Failure to do so results in vaporization. Armor calculation is based on the heat armor stat.
