Burst Fire This mod allows you to fire three-round bursts. However, your magazine will deplete faster as a result. Titan Killer (II) Challenge: Kill 20 Titans
Extended Magazine This mod increases the ammo capacity of the weapon, making it so that you don’t have to reload as often. If It Moves… (II) Challenge: Kill 25 Enemies

Field Notes

  • This weapon packs a punch with every bullet. It has the perfect balance of being able to deal a fair amount of damage to Titans along with taking out any minions or Pilots with one round.
  • This gun is very difficult to use against Pilots that are on roofs or jumping around. Be sure to take advantage of the splash damage and try to shoot enemy Pilots when they are on the ground or next to a wall. If a Pilot is high up on a roof or jumping above your head, it is better to dash away and try the fight from another angle.
  • This weapon, without any mods, can take out a couple of minions that are close together. But coupled with the Burst Fire, the 40mm Cannon can easily dispose of an entire group of minions with one or two bursts.
  • This is one of the strongest weapons against enemy Titans in mid-close-range battles. It has a large magazine capacity and fast rate of fire, which allows you to deal continuous damage, and you aren’t punished if you miss a few shots.
  • The Burst Fire mod is great when playing on a map with lots of cover, so that you can shoot a couple bursts and dash away to safety. If you like the single-round semi-automatic fire, be sure to equip the Extended Magazine to get five extra rounds per mag. When head-to-head against another Titan, if this weapon doesn’t kill the enemy, it will undoubtedly leave it weak enough to be finished off by your teammates.
