Strategy And Tips

To effectively use the Assault Cannon, fire it until you feel the cone of fire is want you want. The bar on the minigun and under the crosshair will show how large your spread is getting. If it's on the left, it's small, but so is the rate of fire. If it's on the right, the spread is very large and the weapon eats shells like crazy. Once you've got the spread you want, press the right mouse button. That'll lock down the spread and keep it from getting larger.

Be careful; while you're firing the minigun, your speed will be halved. It's best to stay at one position when using this weapon, so that your attempt at trying to chase an enemy isn't thwarted by your reduced speed.
