Stats and Perks

Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist Ion Cannon

As you can see, the Ion Cannon hits like a truck, and you get it at a perfect time to be set up to fight the final boss.

However, the Ion Cannon doesn’t fire like a normal rocket launcher, its special is that it has a charge up to firing. It feels kind of like a railgun, or Halo’s iconic Spartan Laser, but fires actual rockets.

While usually Vladof have a second function to their weapons, but this isn’t the case for the Ion Cannon. With the way it hits, there’s no reason for there to be any extra firing features.

While the charging and holding until ready to let loose function is nice to really line up shots, the firing abilities aren’t the main feature here, it’s that spectacular damage to obliterate (like the red text wants) anything in your path and anyone could probably clear the DLC single-handedly with it, just pack enough ammo.
