Both attacks, left then right click.

Not to be confused with Flurrystorm Cannon, a snow-themed ranged weapon.

The Firestorm Cannon is a craftable Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon that is a weaponized version of the Flare Gun. Like the Flare Gun, it uses Flares as ammunition.

The Firestorm Cannon has 2 firing modes, both of which have auto-use:

• Left click will fire a constant but inaccurate stream of piercing flares, with a 50% chance to fire 2 flares at once. These flares disappear very quickly after sticking to a tile.
• Right click fires an inaccurate spread of 4 flares, with a 50% chance to fire five flares. These flares do not pierce but travel twice as fast and last longer when sticking to tiles.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
