Weapon (Cannon) Types in Fish Shooting Games
One aspect that makes fish shooting games more strategic than regular slots is the weapon selection. At 12win casino, every fish shooting game offers several cannon types with different characteristics. Choosing the right weapon for the right situation is a skill worth developing.
Basic Cannon
The default cannon with low bullet cost. Best for shooting large quantities of small fish and accumulating credits gradually without significant risk.
Dual Cannon
Fires in two directions at the same time. Higher bullet cost but significantly increases the chance of hitting fast-moving targets. Ideal for medium to large fish.
Laser Cannon
Fires with precision in a straight line. Highly effective against high-value fish moving in a straight path. High cost but maximum impact on a single target.
Bomb Cannon
An area explosion that hits multiple fish at once within a certain radius. Ideal when many fish are clustered together. Highest cost but capable of taking out multiple targets simultaneously.
Lightning Cannon
Fires an electric chain that jumps from one fish to another. Effective when fish are swimming in groups. Offers the best value per bullet when used at the right moment.
Boss Destroyer Cannon
A high-powered special weapon designed specifically to attack ocean bosses. Only available in certain situations or at a high credit cost. The biggest impact in the game.
How to Play Fish Shooting Games Smartly
Many players make the same mistake when they start playing fish shooting games — they shoot every fish without a strategy, burning through credits quickly with little to show for it. Fish shooting games may look simple, but there is an art to choosing targets, managing credits, and knowing when to use high-powered weapons.
The first thing to understand is the concept of the "true value" of each shot. If a fish takes an average of 10 bullets to kill but only awards credits worth 8 bullets, you are actually losing on every kill. Smart players always calculate the ratio of bullet cost versus credits received.
A more effective strategy is to focus on medium to large fish appearing at the edges of the screen — as they have just entered and tend to move more slowly for a few moments. Use that window to concentrate your shots before they move toward the center and merge with the group, where precise targeting becomes harder.
During boss rounds, don't fire all your credits at once. Wait a moment to observe the boss's movement pattern — some bosses move in predictable paths, and once you recognize the pattern, you can position your shots ahead of time for better accuracy.
