The OmegaTech Frost Cannon is a weapon manufactured by GrummelNet Industries featured in All 4 One. It is a handheld cannon that sprays a beam of frost and ice onto enemies, gradually freezing them in place.

It can be upgraded to the Elite OmegaTech Frost Cannon by purchasing an elite upgrade from a vendor.

A variation of the weapon named the Cryoshot appears in Full Frontal Assault. It is identical in appearance to the OmegaTech Frost Cannon, but fired freezing projectiles instead of a beam.

History[]

The OmegaTech Frost Cannon is first available at the Cove segment of Octonok Cay for 25,000 bolts, and becomes available to upgrade with additional bolts upon reaching the Kaleero Trail segment of Terawatt Forest. It is not upgraded with use, but its ammo can be upgraded for 10,000 bolts, and its power for 25,000 bolts. After purchasing the ammo and power upgrades, it can receive an elite upgrade for 60,000 bolts, transforming the weapon into the Elite OmegaTech Frost Cannon.

Characteristics[]

When fired in the direction of enemies, the cannon would lock on and spray them with the weapons frost beam. Small enemies are frozen almost instantly, while larger enemies take more time and firepower. Upgrades would substantially increase the weapons power, freezing enemies much faster. The power upgrade would increase its freezing power by about 30%, and the elite upgrade would further increase it to about 50%. The cannon can not be fired when there are no nearby enemies, and would instead simply spew ice-cold air, wasting no ammunition.

If multiple Frost Cannons were used together, it would create an overload attack, delivering an arctic explosion that froze nearby enemies. Once enemies are frozen solid, any physical blow would shatter them to pieces.[1][2] Shattering enemies frozen by the Elite OmegaTech Frost Cannon would cause an exploding shockwave, damaging other nearby enemies.

Due to being superior to the Freeze Mod, it presumably froze enemies at temperatures even colder than -253 °C.

Behind the scenes[]

The OmegaTech Frost Cannon originally was simply named the Frost Cannon.
