== Codex ==
The Cannonback brings an order of devastation to the battlefield that few guards can match. It's equipped with a Hazar-Ki Cannon that lobs electromagnetic explosives at its target. Much of the guard's cybernetic tech helps it hoist and aim the bulky weapon, though even with such upgrades, an elderly Cannonback's body will eventually break off from its base.
Part of the intrigue of the Cannonback is its psychological reactions on the battlefield. Studies have found it experiences a chemical release of serotonin and dopamine at the sight of explosives. Alternatively, it experiences a tremendous sense of loss after an explosion has dispersed.
==Trivia:==
* Though the Cannonback was shown in the original reveal trailer for the game, it would later be added on the game's first content update which was deployed September 20th
