Players can find Pirate Cannons aboard this ship at the front and rear. When they were first unvaulted, players were able to move and steer the cannons. This meant being able to take them across the map, if they so desired, and firing cannon balls at opponents. Unfortunately Epic had to stop this ability as players had discovered an exploit that made anyone steering the cannon invisible to others!
