Tesla cannon?

[Traveler]

So what perks does it get and does it have mods?

Just picked it up on the season and when I made it it there's no 0 of X mods like for normal weapons. but it does take normal legendary rolls.

I did a quick perk test.. It takes Big guns under strength but not Intel "science" like some energy weapons do. Does it take the PA stability perk or any others?

To my knowledge and experience the Heavy Gunner perks,Stabilized,the one that makes heavy guns reload faster and the one that has an 20% chance to deflect damage affect it but the Demolition Expert does not,for Grenadier i personally haven't noticed any change.
For mods I think there's two receiver-type mods,one that weakness enemies that get hit by it and one that chains attacks between targets at the cost of lower single target damage,an unspecified number of barrel mods that from the Season description are purely cosmetic and just change the color of the Tesla(kind of like the Incinerator) and sights.

Modifications for the Tesla Cannon, are on the Scoreboard for this season. You have to use tickets, to buy them.

So I've unlocked all the seasons parts for the cannon. First off it is kind of fun and that's most important.

I put Instigator on it along with the various perks and yeah it packs a punch. Using the recon scope one shotting a Super's head is really easy. It's also acceptable against regular scorch beasts. Of course against the Queen and other bosses your still going to go thru a LOT of ammo; I still prefer a prime heavy like the .50cal. The biggest downside is that it blocks out a lot of vision on your right

Wondering how everyone else is liking it.

Make two of them, alternate current and direct current, with all best mods that I've unlocked (Hurray for raids, one got all the way to level 100 scoreboards within a week doing just raid only). These is fun weapons to have for sure.

Funny thing is it's kinda the energy version of the Hellstorm missile launcher. Uses the same heavy gun/demo expert double dip mechanism.

But you don't see many people using Hellstorms... despite the BoS telling us they are dangerous...

Obvious, I believe. Hellstorm seems good on the paper, but I rather not lugging arounds tens or hundreds of missiles for it. Tesla cannon ammo is by far is more cheaper and easier to carry.

I prefer the 4 barrel missile launcher; not that I like either much.

The demolition perk does work , so does the grenadier. I have a Tesla cannon that hit for 497 damage , If I remove the 5 perk demolition it goes down to 471. You decide if its worth having. The range increase with the Grenadier is far too obvious to not notice

For me its just a fun heavy weapon alternative to the tesla rifle and it will complement my 50 cal machine gun as I play along

Does the explosive effective do anything beneficial for the tesla cannon, or is it inert?

** Faster Fire Rate
**Weight 90% less

Work on direct current, alternate current seems not working.

Check Nexus mods there is a great model replacer that reduces the size of the cannon in first person, its way better than vanilla, you can see much more.
