Steel cannons are a type of cannon that can be built on a boat, requiring level 5 Ranged to operate. They can be built at specific facility hotspots on the boat, requiring level 47 Sailing and 39 Construction to build, granting 526 Construction experience.

Steel cannons attack every 7 ticks, and can fire up to steel cannonballs. Crewmates with at least level 2 Privateering can be assigned to operate the cannons, as long as the player has the required unboosted Sailing level.

Only one cannon can be built on a raft and skiff, while a sloop allows two.

Due to an update, the information in this article may be out-of-date. Reason: The crewmate formula doesn't account for the player's Sailing level anymore. The exact formula is currently unknown. You can help improve it by updating the information.

• Cannons benefit from the player’s ranged accuracy and strength bonuses. Ranged strength bonuses from the weapon, shield, and ammunition slots are excluded from this calculation.
  • Take precaution with items where the applied strength bonus is conditional, eg. a charged Dizana's Quiver.
