The Fireworks Cart is the final prize of the Chinese New Year 3 (Event).
This weapon is very similar to the Dragon's Breath Cannon. However, despite its stats, it's actually slightly faster than its counterpart, along with a slightly bigger clip and more damage per shot. On the other hand, the projectile(s) take a while to reach long distance targets and that it curves down at mid-range shot.
Strategy
This weapon deals a massive amount of damage per shot (only if it's a DIRECT HIT), therefore, it is recommended to wear at least some explosive-resistance armor when going against this weapon. Three shots (one clip of the weapon) are enough to kill even player(s) equipped with the Red Hero Armor, (along with the explosive resistance perk from the skill tree, which is a total of 90% resistance)! It is recommended to aim at nearby walls or the ground to inflict the maximum amount of damage possible. Hitting too far will make your shot useless and if you have to reload in the middle of a fight, thus causing your demise; thus, it is also recommended to time your shots wisely, and if needed to, find a good place to take cover for your weapon's reload.
