Understand Semi-Shotgun Cannonade
Useful when…
- Add damage and punch through to a compatible semi-auto shotgun.
- Keep a semi-auto shotgun’s fire rate unmodified while improving its other listed stats.
Effects and compatibility
This standard shotgun mod works only with semi-auto triggers. It grants +40% damage and +0.25 punch through at rank 0, scaling to +240% damage and +1.5 punch through at rank 5. Its fire-rate restriction means the installed build cannot modify fire rate.
Rank and capacity
It has Vazarin polarity, base drain 4, and a maximum rank of 5. Supplied fusion examples range from 20 Endo and 966 Credits for ranks 0–1 to 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits for ranks 4–5. Rank it according to available capacity and how much you value the listed damage and punch through.
Alternatives serve different goals
Accelerated Blast grants fire rate and Puncture, while Amalgam Shotgun Barrage grants fire rate and revive speed; either conflicts with Cannonade’s fire-rate restriction. Critical Deceleration raises critical chance while reducing fire rate, so it addresses a different stat combination. These comparisons do not make any one option a universal replacement.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The fire-rate restriction prevents fire-rate adjustments while equipped.
- Higher ranks require increasing fusion investment.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using it on a shotgun that does not have a semi-auto trigger.
- Trying to raise fire rate with it installed.
