  • The Shard Cannon is a weapon in Red Faction: Armageddon. It is only available during the Path To War DLC mission; Falling Objects.

    Description

    The Shard Cannon was originally a tool to clear debris. It was eventually weaponized by Marauder Scientists.

    The Shard Cannons strength is launching debris at both Cultists and Enemy structures. Holding down your primary fire button will cause the weapon to pick up any debris in the immediate vicinity, allowing you to launch it where ever you choose, for quite some distance. Be careful though, the cannon can pick up materials that you could be standing on, so watch out when you use it on bridges and catwalks.

    Darius Mason uses the weapon when bringing down fortified Cultist towers in the outlying areas surrounding the Terraformer. During the mission he picks up the Shard Cannon, but is soon targeted by the Orbital Cannon whilst using it. Darius abandons the gun before reconnecting with the Red Faction on their way to stop Adam Hale from destroying the Terraformer.
