The Heavy Particle Projector Cannon, or Heavy PPC is an energy cannon capable of splash.

History

The Particle Projector Cannon was an advancement in mech armaments that allowed one to hurl a high energy blob of ions at a target. The ions in impact deal a significant amount of kinetic as well as heat damage, battering and vaporizing the armor of anything on the recieving end, the blast also leaves the affected region charged causing electrical damage. Shots from this weapon tend to scatter their ion packet on impact, causing a fair sized splash of rather hazardous energy on impact. All and all, the PPC is a well respected and used weapon on the battlefield.

Use

This weapon has some special behavior. To use it you must aim at a mech and hold fire. If the mech has no ECM blocking the lockon attempts the Agamemnon will eventually lock on. Once it locks on you can hold fire and it will continue to hurl explosive shells at your target until it breaks the line of sight with it for three seconds, you run out of ammo, or you let go of fire.

Other Notes

This is not a strong gun, it's meant to supplement your other weapons fire or allow you to continue to present a threat while running away or being evasive. If you fire with your main guns and linger enough to establish a lock, this gun will cover your rear while you get the heck out of dodge.
