The Plasma Cannon is a special weapon with unlimited ammunition and powerful blast fire used in Star Fox: Assault. It is among the best weapons in the game, but it can only be used by Fox as he rides the wing of an Arwing or Wolfen. In both appearance and functionality, it greatly resembles the blaster weapon also used by Pilots in the Versus Mode of Star Fox 64.
Appearance []
The Plasma Cannon is a large, bazooka like blaster which fires lavender coloured shots. It is fired and held over Fox's shoulder, resembling and controlled in the same manner as the Homing Launcher. Unlike the regular blaster, it cannot fire Charge Shots but can constantly shoot rapid firepower trails by holding down the button.
