“It isn't loaded? Booooring.”

–Willow

“Cannon is empty, but still very scary looking!”

“It's empty inside...”

–Wendy

“REQUIRES AMMUNITION”

–WX-78

“A highly effective weapon in nautical combat, when properly loaded.”

“It's useless if it isn't loaded.”

–Maxwell

“Load the cannons!”

–Wigfrid

“Ms. Wickerbottom said we could play with it as long as there's no cannonballs inside.”

–Webber

“Its belly is empty.”

–Warly

“Empty”

–Wormwood

“It won't do much good if it's not loaded.”

–Winona

–Wortox

“It not ready yet!”

–Wurt

–Walter

“I could have sworn I loaded that cannon... maybe it hasn't happened yet.”

–Wanda

“I didn't forget the cannonballs, I'm just letting the anticipation build.”

–Wilson

“Darn it, I'm out... hey Wes, you always wanted to try being a human cannonball right?”

–Willow

“Ah. Wolfgang forgot cannonballs.”

–Wolfgang

“I have nothing that can fill the void... of this empty cannon.”

–Wendy

“ERROR: CANNONBALLS NOT FOUND”

–WX-78

“There's still the small matter of ammunition, dear...”

–Wickerbottom

“I can't just load it with any old thing, eh?”

–Woodie

“Tragically, I can't just summon cannonballs out of thin air.”

–Maxwell

“Woe! There is nary a cannonball in sight!”

–Wigfrid

“Oh, we forgot to bring the cannonballs!”

–Webber

“Ah zut! I have nothing to fill its belly.”

–Warly

“Oops! Forgot rocks”

“I won't be able to do much without some cannonballs.”

–Winona

“This cannon cannot fire.”

–Wortox

“Glurgh... forget to bring cannon rocks...”

“I forgot the cannonballs! This won't make me lose points toward my badge, right?”

–Walter

“Next time I'll remember to bring cannonballs.”

–Wanda

The Cannon can be loaded with Cannonballs and be fired at a target in front of it. The Cannon's range of attack depends on the player's position, it will aim towards the opposite direction from where the player is standing which allows the Cannon to fire in any direction.

Cannons can be placed on a Boat or on the ground. Boats get pushed back in the opposite direction of a shot. On Moon Quay, Cannons can be found on Docks inhabited by Powder Monkeys, who use them as weapons and shoot at any approaching player Boats.

The Cannon Kit is a craftable structure exclusive to Don't Starve Together introduced in The Curse of Moon Quay update. Its crafting recipe can be obtained from the Queen of Moon Quay in exchange for Bananas if the player does not have any Accursed Trinkets. Once obtained the recipe can be found in the Sailing Filter.
