The Scout Cannon is a deployable item in PEAK found in luggage. Cannons can be used to launch players across great distances. To setup a cannon, first adjust the angle and desired placement, then place the cannon. To activate, light the fuse and have a player enter the cannon's opening. The fuse lasts roughly 3 seconds before firing.

As a player begins to fall after being launched, an effect is applied lasting 5 seconds which slows the player's descent to prevent injury, much like the effect of an open Parasol.

Cooking a Scout Cannon causes it to explode identically to  Dynamite, although the extra damage from being held does not apply.

Notes

• Placing a backpack into the Scout Cannon will propel a Scout extremely far, often bypassing entire biomes. This glitch was previously exploited with other items to quickly reach the Peak but is now only possible with the backpack.
