Set Up Cannons to Defend Your Base

Building Your Cannon Defense

Cannons are your primary stationary defense against titan attacks. Check your advancements to unlock the cannon crafting recipe, then gather the necessary materials.

Place cannons on elevated positions around your base—on walls, towers, or rooftops. Height gives you better angles to hit incoming titans. Space them out to cover multiple approach routes.

Operating Your Cannons

To fire a cannon:

1. Stand behind or beside it and look at the cannon block

2. Use your interact key to aim and fire

3. Cannons require ammunition (craft or find cannonballs)

4. Aim for the titan's weak points when possible

Effective Placement

Place cannons where they have clear sightlines to common titan approach paths. Combine cannons with walls (built in the anime style) to funnel titans into kill zones. Multiple cannons firing together can bring down larger threats faster.

Stock ammunition nearby in chests so you can quickly reload during attacks. Consider building a watchtower to spot titans early and prepare your defenses.
