The Halibut Cannon is a gun that is dropped by the Primordial Wyrm. It fires out between 25 and 35 bullets per shot that slowly spread out, while only consuming one unit of ammo.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • With the exception of God Slayer Slugs and Luminite Bullets, piercing bullets are not effective when using the Halibut Cannon as only one bullet will strike per salvo.
  • In the Get fixed boi seed, its tooltip is changed to "No, it sucks now" and has an 80% chance to shoot nothing, and 20% chance to fire one bullet.

Trivia

  • This weapon is a reference to the late game critic TotalBiscuit, previously known as TotalHalibut, as indicated by the presence of stereotypical British attire on the weapon's sprite.
  • Halibut is a typical name of fish from the family of right eyed flounders.
The Halibut Cannon being used on a Target Dummy.
