The Scrap Cannon is a weapon that appears in Serious Sam's Bogus Detour.

Overview[]

TD-Tech developed the Series 7 to deliver extreme burn damage to its target, without burning out the weapon itself. It became very popular in Tournament play because of its raw power and visceral impact.

The scrap cannon fires a moderate spread of scrap when the player presses the fire key. The projectiles deal a small amount of damage, but also sets the target on fire. The weapon can deal a moderate amount of damage if all of the projectiles hit the target.

Occurrence[]

The scrap cannon can be only obtained in custom maps, as it doesn't appear in any of the levels of the original campaign. It still can be obtained in the Halls of Time multiplayer level and the Survival level Desert Strike.

Tactics[]

  • The scrap cannon is useful for clearing out groups of weak enemies, such as Gnaars, Kleers, and Orc Troopers. Its spread can hit several targets at once and set them on fire, which can be useful for draining their health.
  • The weapon is also effective against medium-strength enemies, such as Minor Bio-mechanoids and Orc Butchers, provided that all of the projectiles hit the target.
  • The scrap cannon is not recommended for stronger enemies, such as Major Bio-mechanoids, Orc Captains and Scrapjacks, as they can take a lot of damage from the weapon before being killed.

Trivia[]

  • According to one of the developers, the scrap cannon was removed from the original campaign because there were 'too many weapons'.
  • The scrap cannon is similar to the flak cannon from the Unreal series.
