Things you can use the PRAWN suit Prop cannon for

Ok, I've seen a lot of people moaning about how the prawn prop cannon arm is nearly useless. I'm here to challenge that.

You can use it for:
  • Removing lava larvae from your cyclops
  • Moving rock deposits
  • Throwing objects at warpers to make them teleport away, allowing you to get past them.
  • Collect fish in dangerous areas
  • Prevent lava lizards from hurting you (you can lift them, last time I checked)
  • launch crashfish at predators
  • firing deep shrooms and acid mushrooms for high - velocity, high - damage - ammo
  • launch flares to distract crabsquids and other light - sensitive creatures
  • launch torpedoes (ok, they don't explode, but still)
  • grab resources off the ground that have fallen out of reach
  • play "lava larvae pinball" (launch a lava larva at another lava larva, and see how many hits you can get in a chain reaction, kinda like nuclear fission)
  • prevent crashfish from exploding in your face
  • safely move drooping stingers from caves
  • move boxes blocking wrecks / bases
  • safely loot jellyshrooms without angering crabsnakes
  • distract warpers by launching carar - infested fish at them
  • launch your cutefish, I think.
  • Go around, launching everything while yelling "FUS ROH DAH" at the top of your lungs. (do it, it's fun.) :)

The list is nearly endless!

Note: I hope they add repulsion cannon arms soon.

    Okay, someone explain how you use crashfish like that because it seems like they'll explode before I could do something like that.

    Also I think they changed drooping stingers so you can't move them anymore. And once upon a time I was able to grab sandsharks with my prop cannon, but that quickly changed. They might do the same to lava lizards.

    @Morph_Guy That's hecking hilarious.

    @elfcrisis You can breed them in an alien containment.
