I'll puncture the next thing that moves.
- Quad cannon assembled from the Arms dealer.

The Quad Cannon was a Soviet-era weapon (the ZSU-23-4 Shilka's modified AZP-23 Amur mounted on the back of a half-track) recycled by the GLA by the time of the GLA Conflict as their anti-infantry and anti-aircraft vehicle.

Game Unit[]

The Quad Cannon is the cheapest anti-aircraft vehicle and the second-cheapest AA unit (behind Shin Fai's Mini-Gunner). One of the most useful units available to the GLA, it can be mass-fielded for early game skirmishes, and provides very effective anti-infantry and anti-aircraft fire. Quad Cannons are by no means weakly armored, especially for a light vehicle.

Nevertheless, quad cannons are rather ineffective against heavy armor. Although they have average range, they are no match to enemy Rocket Buggies and other types of artillery from afar. Despite its anti-air specialty, it is unable to fully counter Aurora and Aurora Alpha, as these aircraft are invulnerable during an attack run.

Upgrades[]

Base[]

Salvage[]

Due to an oversight, Quad Cannons actually become less effective when upgraded with salvage. Although both salvage upgrades attempt to increase its rate of fire, these changes are not conferred properly. Instead, it reaches its maximum fire rate either after collecting the first or upon reaching Heroic veterancy. Additionally, the first salvage upgrade reduces the Quad Cannon's damage by 2, thereby cutting its DPS.

Quad Cannon statistics per rank, with and without scrap
Rank 0 Rank 1 Rank 2 Rank 3
Damage 10 11 12 13
Rate of Fire (msec between shots) 133

(133,333...) (15 shots per two second)

67 (66,666...) (15 shots per second) 67 (66,666...) (15 shots per second) 67 (66,666...) (15 shots per second)
Damage with Salvage upgrades (1 and 2 use the same damage value) 8 8.8 9.6 10.4
Rate of Fire with Salvage upgrade 1 50, but gets capped at and is effectively 67 instead Capped at 67 Capped at 67 Capped at 67
Rate of Fire with Salvage upgrade 2 25, but gets capped at and is effectively 67 instead Capped at 67 Capped at 67 Capped at 67

A unique quad cannon version used by Prince Kassad in the campaign has an exclusive upgrade.
