The Neutron Cannon is a primary weapon that was added to Everspace with the Encounters expansion that fires spheres of energy which vary in damage and size based on charge time.

Tips and Tricks

• The Neutron Cannon has an incredibly large blast radius when fully charged, which can clear whole minefields and clear structures of turrets and drones with ease as it can damage enemies through walls and asteroids.
  • However, beware of high self-damage from the explosion.
  • This includes fighting drone carriers - a single fully charged shot should destroy all link drones and drop its shield.
• When it is charged up enough it will instantly mine a resource deposit, much like the Flak Cannon. Additionally, the blast radius allows mining resource deposits without directly firing at them. The resources will spawn where the center of the neutron blast was.
• The damage and DPS shown is the value at full charge, so quickly tapping the neutron cannon for uncharged shots will deal around 10 damage per projectile.
• A fully charged shot is similar in damage to a Heavy Missile, and can one-shot most fighters and drones.
• Fire Rate Mods and Velocity Mods may be useful for increasing DPS.
