Hey guys, I've been doing some experimenting with the scorch cannon and these queen bounties are really easy to solo once you get the hang of it. It's a bit long, sorry!
First, arc weapons are a must.
Second, learn to use the scorch cannon. It's insanely good.
When firing off a rocket with the scorch cannon if you tap the trigger the rocket is like any other. It'll explode on impact. However if you fire and -hold- down the trigger the rocket will attach itself to the target. I also noticed a tiny bit of tracking when doing this too.
The magic is in the charge. The -longer- you let it charge the BIGGER and more DAMAGING the blast will be. I've taken out the entire squad with just 1 rocket. The enemies need to be close enough.
There are different stages to the charge when you're holding it. You'll notice the light from the rocket gets bigger the longer you hold it and a certain sound plays. I think the 3rd stage is the final big kaboom. Either way you can also just hold down the charge until the rocket explodes by itself.
One thing I like to do is attach the rocket to the enemy before they drop from the ship. They are immune from damage until they hit the ground but the rocket will still stick to them.
Now get to hunting!

Another good idea is just shooting a rocket into the floor under the ship and charging it, then when they land...

I haven't really needed it. But for lvl 28 and under it's probably useful.

Everyone I've played with has every enemy down before you can even hold the charge for the 5 seconds you need to have max damage, it's a worthless piece of junk tbh

I'm pretty sure it can charge up to 3 times. Last night I got a huge explosion, taking out multiple enemies, and it was awesome!

Scorch cannon the new ghorn and if ever released where players could get one on their own... ghorn owners would burn the forums with rage over it.

If you press square(or x on xbox) while holding the trigger it explodes and creates cluster bombs ;)

Thanks for the tips. I knew it was doing something when I held the trigger but wisent sure what it was.
