The **Heart Cannon** is a Launcher that uses Heart Ammo and is added in the 0.9.1 "*Keep Your Enemies Closer*" update on February 10, 2020. It is similar to the potato cannon in almost every way.

## Technical

It has unlimited ammo and weakens every enemy in the explosion radius. This effect can be prolonged if the user had the Cupid Perk. It functions identically to the Potato Cannon, reducing movement speed and dealing large amounts of damage.

## Strategies

As it is almost identical to a reskinned Potato Cannon, any strategy that you would use for the Potato Cannon applies here. The only difference from the Potato Cannon besides the projectile it shoots is that there are hearts on it, replacing the Potato Cannon's hexagonal shapes.

### Using

* This gun is best at mid-range for at farther distances, your low-velocity shots will be easier to dodge, and if you fire it too close, you will end up damaging yourself.
* You can Quickswitch the Heart Cannon the same way you would with a Potato Cannon to a Sniper Rifle.
* Like grenades, the Heart Cannon has a damage radius and can damage players behind obstacles, making it the ultimate flushing out a weapon if an enemy is behind a barrier.
* Use it like you would use the Potato Cannon, as it has similar looks and stats as a said weapon.
* Try to hide this weapon as opponents will target you for the weapon. Only take it out when shooting, as it slows down movement speed when held.
	+ Do not hold it for extended periods of time during combat. The slowdown will cause you to get hit a lot.
* Hide in a bush or overlapped trees with a far-sighted scope, preferably at 4x or higher. Please wait for an enemy to go past your hiding spot. When they do, ambush and shoot at them. They will die from a couple of hits.
	+ Weaken your enemies further by shooting them with a high-damaging and accurate shotgun, such as the SPAS-12.
* Due to the weakening effect of the heart cannon's projectiles, you can rush an enemy with a fast-firing weapon after shooting them, but keep in mind that they may use a chocolate box to counter this effect.

### Countering

* Keeping at close range will prevent the enemy from getting you without damaging themselves as well.
* Shots move relatively slow, so you can easily dodge them, as long as you're ready.
* Since holding this launcher reduces speed, try to rush the opponent with a Shotgun or any fast firing weapon.
* Try to dodge all 4 shots from the cannon. Even though the cannon has infinite ammo, they will have to stop and reload. This gives you time to ambush them with a shotgun or another high damage dealing weapon.
* The bullet has a limited range (around the edge of 4x scope) before the bullet explodes on the ground. Use this to your advantage by staying far away and shooting them with sniper rifles.

## Rarity

This launcher is only found during the Frenemies Event in Golden Air Drops. However, in the Valentines Map, all of the Air Drops are golden, so every Flare Gun will guarantee a Heart Cannon.

## Trivia

* The Heart Cannon is very similar to the Potato Cannon. However, there are heart markings instead of circles and hexagons.
	+ The heart symbols on the Heart Cannon, which replaced the Potato Cannon's hexagonal ones, are irrational. The hexagons on the Potato Cannon are presumably bolts holding the gun together, and heart-shaped bolts do not exist. This was most likely caused by Kongregate overlooking the hexagonal symbols as mere decorations, which they replaced with hearts.
* The Heart Cannon is the second Launcher added to the game. It is also the third weapon to have an explosive projectile, tied with the M79.
* The Heart Cannon is the 4th weapon added that has unlimited ammo by default.
* The Heart Cannon is the first weapon (and currently only) to use the Heart Ammo.
* There is a not so widespread theory that the hexagons represent PARMA, and the hearts represent Valentines.
