Please feel free to post your own strategies/ thoughts below. Dont be shy, it only helps the community. I've been farming the chests a bit and I've noticed people aren't correctly using the scorch cannon. Which is fine, that's what these bounties/ events are for. Don't be afraid to pick it up and get xp like people are with the relics in vog. But also be respectful and give others the opportunity as well When you fire a shot, the projectile is more of a mine. Shoot, hold the trigger to charge it up and let go when you want it to explode. You can cause more damage like this. Treat it as a fusion grenade. Land the shot on the enemy and hold the trigger. There is 3 damages stages/ multipliers. You'll hear a beeping noise that changes as you hold it. Itll also grow brighter each of the 3 stages. Then let go when you want to blow up your target. If you hold it too long it will disable and not cause damage so make sure you do let go at some point. The cannon also seems to be on a timer once it's picked up AND dropped.. Looks like it's about 20 seconds if no one grabs it after its been touched/ picked up so be weary of that if your alone and switching weapons. Looks like you can keep resetting the timer by picking it up and dropping it.- thanks trunkmonkey75 And bring arc weapons. Not necessary but it helps especially if you're alone. Thunderlord, found verdict and fang of ir yut has been my combo. Edit : Also have fun with it but try to save a few shots for the final wave and event boss. You'll want to be doing this in prison of elders so get in the habit of not wasting it early. Maybe wait a wave or 2 before picking it up.- thanks jaycally I hope this helps a few of you. Go try it out, it's kind of cool. Thanks everyone that posted. I know these events are easy but it's good to discuss mechanics for the dlc when things get tougher. Mlg pro tip: plant your shot right under the drop ship, charge it fully and as soon as the enemies touch ground, boom! Helps to clear waves faster if you're trying to maximize your farming time. Or use your gjallarhorn as some have mentioned.
