"Lock in place to focus the attack. Long range with piercing ability."
—Unused description
Wide Shot is an unused weapon from Cuphead. It would likely have been obtained through purchasing it in Porkrind's Emporium.
Strategy[]
The Wide Shot uses the same design and range as the Peashooter as placeholder, but it can shoot three projectiles at once, two shooting diagonally, somewhat similarly to Converge. It is also coded to have less spread when locked on. It is the only weapon that can pass through objects and still damage enemies, which would be brought back for Converge too. It also does not have an EX move, though the localization files mention one called “Beam Flash”, which may of worked like the Converge’s EX judging by the name.
Trivia[]
