Cluster Cannon

"With its slower firerate and inability to detonate on impact, this weapon is designed for long ranged saturation bombing. Shorter fuse time allows airburst grenades to release up to 5 bomblets over multiple targets. Individual bomblets deal low damage, but a large amount of them can be devastating. Only airburst grenades will release bomblets." In-game description

The Cluster Cannon is a slot 1 weapon for Demoman that shoots slower, weaker grenades, but said grenades could explode into smaller bomblets, literally increasing the number of explosions by sixfold per grenade.

The Cluster Cannon has a significantly more bulky and reinforced appearance than the grenade launcher, with a matte material and its magazine placed at the back of the weapon, making it look like a bullpup version of some sort.

Tactics

 * Unlike Demoman's other slot 1 weapons, its bomblet mechanic forces you to use this weapon at mid-long range to be able to utilize it effectively. If you want to deal with targets at close-mid ranges, its better to just switch your slot 1 weapon or use your secondary.


 * Aiming about 45 degrees allows your grenades to explode near the ground while also exploding into bomblets, which greatly increases the weapon's damage output. This makes Cluster Cannon the most range specific weapon out of the three slot 1 weapons.


 * Shoot the grenades at key locations such as an objective area or a corner to have a form of area denial against the enemies.


 * When moving towards an area, you could perform a creeping barrage of grenades by initially aiming at the sky and then lowering your aim as you get closer towards said location. This allows your grenades to impact the same area while you are moving.


 * Thanks to the amount of bombs this thing shoots, it is enough to confuse players that first encounter it and makes them panic due to the mass amount of explosives that are being bombarded on them. Although being significantly weaker than the other slot 1 weapons, it works wonders if there are multiple enemies clumped up in a single area due to how large the effective explosion range is.

Trivia
The Cluster Cannon is often referred to as the CC by the community, as it is an abbreviation of its name.
