Quad Cannons

Quad Cannons have the smallest firing arc of any other weapon (except for Dual Cannons and Dual Heavy Cannons, on which the quad cannons are based) — 45° — but have a larger damage potential than most other starship weapons.

Quad Cannons, Dual Cannons, Dual Beam Banks, Cannons, and Dual Heavy Cannons cannot be mounted in aft (rear facing) weapon slots. Only one of any type of Quad Cannons can be equipped on a ship at a time.

45° Weapon Arc for Quad Cannons

Damage types

Quad cannons are only available in phaser, disruptor, plasma, and polaron damage types, which are listed below. Each type of Quad Cannons offers a different proc (random chance for an attack bonus). The damage done by these weapons are modified by several skills from the skill tables and certain Tactical Consoles. The baseline damage is dependent on the array's Mark level and its rarity.

For more information on the base damage done by Quad Cannons weapons, see the respective weapon type articles.

• Phaser: 2.5% chance to disable a random subsystem
• Agony Phaser: 2.5% chance to disable a random subsystem and apply Phaser DoT
• Disruptor: 2.5% chance to lower the targets hull damage resistance by 10% for 15 sec
• Plasma: 2.5% chance to apply non-stacking damage over time
• Polaron: 2.5% Chance: -25 All Current Power Levels for 5 sec

Base Damage Table

Quad Cannons are level-less and so do not have a mark number. Instead the quad cannons scale with the player meaning their damage output is proportional to the player's current level.
