Unlocked by Aegisalt Equipment (Armor and Weapons tree).

Boom Cannon fires a medium-range rocket with a mining charge (it is very effective at mining blocks). The rocket detonates after 3 seconds or when it hits something. It harms enemies and sets them on fire.

This weapon's Alt ability causes an even bigger explosion very close to you. Alt ability doesn't harm enemies directly, but it will set them on fire.

Advantages

Unlike a Mining Laser, Boom Cannon can hit background blocks (because the timed detonation happens even if the rocket didn't hit anything in the foreground layer). Mining Laser fires a constant stream of projectiles, and they cause "explosions" only if they hit something.
