Ion Cannon

The Ion Cannon is one of the ten weapons in Turbo Overkill. It is a superweapon capable of dealing significant damage to enemies by launching an ion beam from the sky, decimating whatever is in the way. 
==Mechanics==
Regular firing mode spends ion tickets; enabling you to shoot a giant beam from up in the sky to incinerate whatever is in the target area marked by your crosshairs. Alternate firing mode charges and launches a energy ion blast in an area, decimating whatever is in the kill zone - you included if you don't clear yourself from the area. 
An upgrade of this can be found in E3M3: Infestation; regular firing mode rate will reduce its charge time and can instantly shoot giant beams and the alternate fire cooldown will reduce to one second, giving way to look like a cheese strategy more than a situational strategy. 
This weapon is much more of a panic button more than a primary weapon for everybody to use, but it felt awesome, hit the turbo-time and start drawing circles around your enemies.
