{{Quote|Scorch Cannons are shoulder-mounted heavy impact weapons used by the Fallen for hull-puncturing in ship-to-ship raiding parties.<br><br>The Scorch Cannon uses a compressed Solar "furnace" to focus and direct superheated rods of solar energy. Each burst is mapped to the Cannon's firing matrix, allowing the wielder to hold a fired rod's charge. Release of the firing actuator triggers detonation. The longer the actuator is held the greater the rod's explosive impact.|Grimoire description<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Arsenal#Scorch Cannon|Scorch Cannon]]''</ref>}}

The '''Scorch Cannon''' is a [[Fallen]] relic weapon found throughout the ''[[Destiny]]'' series. 

==Overview==
The Scorch Cannon acts as a [[Solar]]-damage rocket launcher. Holding down the trigger lets the projectile stick to surfaces and enemies, and gradually charges the explosion to become more powerful the longer the trigger is held. A sound cue allows the user to keep track of the charge of the explosion, alongside the projectile gaining an increasingly unstable aura. An unprimed explosion will kill most weaker enemies in usual content. A fully primed bomb can kill even a shielded [[Major]], but is usually not enough to kill an [[Ultra]]. The cannon can be found in the hands of enemies, but is often dropped by its wielders, allowing nearby [[Guardian]]s to use it.

The [[Devil Splicers]] developed two variants of the Scorch Cannon, the [[Shock Cannon]] and the [[Null Cannon]].

A number of Scorch Cannons have been acquired by [[Lord Shaxx]], who supplies them to Guardians during [[Crucible]] games of [[Team Scorched]], and rarely in field operations.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/14/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[The Final Shape]]: [[Excision]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*A rare glitch would occur where the Scorch Cannon will hover above the players head if they were to pick up the Scorch Cannon.
*In the [[Oracle Engine]] mission, Scorch Cannons are found near the corpses of [[Scorn]], though no living Scorn have ever been seen wielding it.
*In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Scorch Cannons are often dropped by enemies that actually wield [[Molten Welder]]s.
