The Harlequin Sniper Cannon is a long range armament included for use only with the Harlequin.
History
While the Trickster Has the Phantom Rifle system sniper cannon, the Harlequin comes out of the transformation with only one shoulder weapon known as the Quill Sniper or the Harlequin Sniper Cannon, and it's a nasty bit of armament. It fires a chemical cocktail that quickly hardened into a broad spiked projectile with enough heft to it to damage and penetrate armored hulls, splashing various noxious and caustic chemicals all over the innards of mechs doing systems damage that engineers generally agree is a general pain in the ass to clean.
Use
This is a basic use weapon. Have it armed, aim and fire. The projectile has a larger hitbox then it's actual visible projectile.
Other Notes
The large hit box on this projectile can work for you or against you. It makes it easier to peg mechs with it. But it also makes it easier for it to be shot out of the air or to hit cover with it. Against bots you'll see this projectile repeatedly shot out of the air, making it rather hard to connect. Don't aim low, and work with the hit-box and this can become a nasty piece of hardware.
