Bugs

 * You know when you have the bugged Drone Cannon if you get two cannons from one Guardian Drone(Xbox 360, confirmed)
 * When taking the cannon from a drone, it has no icon (PipOS Error - 26 [File Not Found]) while in the Drone's inventory. However, the Drone Cannon Ex-B does have a picture.
 * While having the bugged Drone Cannon it will be in perfect condition and will do around 140-150 damage while having the same effect of Drone Cannon Ex-B as it explodes on contact.(Xbox 360, unconfirmed)
 * If you wish to keep the bugged Drone Cannon do not try to loot another bugged Drone Cannon while you have one in inventory for both bugged Cannons will become a normal Drone Cannon in around 50% condition. (Xbox 360, unconfirmed)
 * The bugged Drone Cannon will be held like a melee weapon resulting in you holding on to nothing while whole cannon points up, but mysteriously it still fires straight. (Xbox 360, unconfirmed)
 * If you drop the bugged Drone Cannon it will become a normal Drone Cannon (Xbox 360, unconfirmed). However leaving the weapon in a locker seems to preserve the bug(unconfirmed)
