The '''Inferno Cannon''' is a medium-range siege weapon armed to [[centipede]]s only, and it won't drop upon its death. It is equippable, but cannot be acquired outside of [[dev mode]]. It fires a projectile that sets anything within a 2.4-tile radius on [[fire]], accuracy for touch range is 79, short is 42, medium is 18, and long is 6. While its shots deal trivial damage, the primary threat is that it starts fires that can consume large areas and cause extensive damage if left uncontrolled. Characters caught by its fire will run out of their cover in an attempt to put themselves out and will not fight back when damaged, making them sitting ducks. Burns do not cause bleeding but instead cause extensive [[pain]], which leads to [[Health#Shock|shock]] and incapacitation, or uncommonly [[Health#Scarring|scar the pawn badly]]. Downed colonists are also liable to death by fire unless rescued or put out. Shots can burn [[flammability|flammables]] through walls, so use extreme caution when opening [[ancient shrine]]s as you may not want to trigger the [[faction#ancients|spacers]] while the threat still lingers around. Like all [[unobtainable items|unobtainable weapons]], after being equipped and dropped, it disappears.

== Defense ==
{{see also|Defense tactics#Centipedes}}

If you haven't already switched from [[wood]] walls and floors, Inferno Cannons are a significant threat. To avoid the worst of the collateral fire damage, build [[Defense structures#Bunkers|bunkers]] made of [[Stone blocks|stone]] to fight Centipedes from, and keep [[firefoam popper]]s handy just in case fire threatens your stockpiles or farm fields.

[[Devilstrand]] clothing, especially [[duster]]s, offers a lot of protection against fire damage. Consider investing in some if you can.

{{Weapon Quality Table}}
Note that while the other qualities are defined by the game code and can be spawned in with dev mode, only certain{{Check Tag|Which}} quality inferno cannon will ever spawn in-game naturally.
