How To Use The Charged Pulse Cannon
Damage Increases When Cannon Overheats
When you keep shooting, the cannon will eventually overheat but when it does, it'll increase its damage. However, if you use the cannon too much, it'll reach its heat limits and stop working for a set amount of time.
Use Aim Down Sight Button To Cool Down Cannon
The button for the cannon's ADS will not move you to scope sight but will slightly bring down the overheat bar with every press. This is integral if you want to keep using the cannon against a lot of enemies.
Overdrive Removes Cannon's Overheating Issue
When you activate Overdrive, the Charged Pulse Cannon will ignore its overheat bar and can be constantly used to fire cannon shots for the duration of the Overdrive.
