Block Cannon

Builds blocks quickly Good range

Low damage Uses blocks for ammo

An example of a bridge created using the Block Cannon.

The Block Cannon is a weapon available to the Engineer class in the secondary weapon slot, along with the Rocket Turret.

It is unique amongst Ace of Spades weapons in that it uses blocks from the players Block Wallet as ammunition, which land on the ground if they do not hit another player. This makes the Block Cannon useful for building bridges quickly, or for creating small walls.

The low player damage and flight speed of the blocks make the Block Cannon a poor weapon. It is mostly commonly used by the Engineer when he has ran out of ammunition for the SMG, or in Zombie mode to attack Zombies at long distance without wasting ammunition.

Players will take around five points of damage from blocks fired from their own Block Cannon.
