Rusty 70 mm Shotgun Cannon Best Use, Timing, And Extraction Value

Rusty 70 mm Shotgun Cannon earns the mount when your plan is to crash short range and delete compartments or exposed crew before the other Trampler can reset. That is the whole reason to bring this family: the spread is brutal up close and falls off hard once the fight stretches out. The Rusty tier still gets that identity, but it is the least forgiving version to bet on. If your routes usually trade at range or stay mobile, this cannon turns from threat into dead weight fast.
