Cannons/Machine Guns

[Daswolfe]

Has anyone figured out how to load ammo into the cannons and machine guns? also what type of ammo do they use.

[Tustle]

You found cannon schematics? Neat! Bob's the jolly uncle on this sailor's wish to attack the Seraph when it spawns in on tutorial island! Just got to find schematics!

...assuming it's the same as Worlds Adrift, try seeing if you can interact with the gun magazines. Cannons use shells that are 2x2 in your inventory, they look like modern-ish artillery or tank shells and can be found in chests but should also be craftable via schematic. Don't remember what machine guns use.

I got the cannon shells but the magazine interaction is bugged and wont let me access.

If you move to the side where the magazine is you will see on the screen 2 options, interact with the gun and magazine, you need to scroll down with the mouse so the magazine is selected then hit E to access it.

Yea. Something is bugged with it. It opens the "Storage" for the cannon ammo to drop the shells into but it won't accept them. Tried it with canon shells I found in chests as well as stacks of 5, 10 and 20 shells that I crafted myself from Lead and Iron. Won't accept any of them.

Chrome on a crutch I hope this isn't on purpose in order to limit the demo outside the two hour initial...

Make sure it's a Cannon Turret and not a Machine Gun Turret (those take separate ammo). Else I think it's probably an inventory bug tied to your current save.

Cannons are loadable and definitely functional, but the herald battle isn't in the demo. I tried firing at it during its scripted fly by, and the shells just bounced off of it.

[Daswolfe]

The issue was I was too dumb to realize you can use the mouse wheel to scroll down and select the cannon loader option. The machine guns have their own ammo type that doesn’t show up in the crafting recipe book until I picked some up from a chest. Still have not found the herald though.

Blast. Literally.

Semi-related, I have ship cannons schematics but haven't found any ammo nor ammo schematics for them yet.

Do I need to rely on luck of the drop for finding the schematics or is there something I'm missing to unlock them?

[Shanawa]

For me it took awhile to figure out the ammo compartment was on the side. The common machine gun 2 for me doesn't actually fire bullets but the Saborian machine gun 1 did. There are several versions of cannons, take notice of the yaw motion range, this is how much you can aim side to side.

Im on the same boat, have 3 variants of cannons but no ammo for them. I might try to create a new world with the same character so I can open more chests

can am ask what ammo type the machine gun uses? bc they wont take medium ammo or light, or the cannon one

I am in the same boat, what ammo do the take as they do not receive the small and medium ammo type

[Gohryt]

there is special heavy ammo that u should use with machine gunes that will be learned when u find one in saborian chests
