The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge infected sites. [[Promethean]]s used the Incineration Cannon when assaulting a location believed to contain a [[Gravemind]], or early-forming [[Flood hive|spore mountains]], that were deemed too small for ship weapons but too large for infantry weapons.<ref name="h4evg"/> The Incineration Cannon fires five antimatter-infused streams of concentrated explosive particles,<ref name="h4evg"/> which gather into globular projectiles that oscillate along a straight trajectory and disintegrate targets when landing a killing blow. The projectiles detonate and spread upon impact with a target, ricocheting and bouncing in tall but short arc trajectories. It initially holds five whole charges at a time with one shot per charge. Each charge is automatically "loaded" after firing and cool-down. It has been described as "mixing traits of a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower." | The Incineration Cannon was often used to strategically purge infected sites.
