* As with the previous [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]], the Type-58 fuel rod cannon is best used against armor at medium range and against enemy positions and gun emplacements at long range.

* Indirect hits usually do not kill, but instead cause some knockback, so make every shot count. Keep a precision weapon handy when possible.

* The explosive fuel rods can deal great damage to even [[Promethean Knight]]s, bypassing the need to shoot them at their side weakpoints.

** For this reason, it is recommended to watch out for [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Sangheili|Elites]] armed with fuel rod cannons, especially on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]].
* Warzone and Campaign feature two additional variants:
* In the campaign, the fuel rod cannon first appears in ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]'', found in the coolant pipes area and in the [[Winter-class prowler|Prowler]] hangar. It later appears in all later levels where Covenant appear as enemies.
** '''''Light of Urs''''': an improved Fuel Rod Cannon with 51% faster moving projectiles that can be fired 80% more quickly, have a 72% larger blast radius, and can lock on to vehicles at the expense of a slight damage reduction. This weapon is more useful for anti-infantry engagements, but is still otherwise somewhat effective against large targets. It is also available in the mission ''[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]'', where it comes in handy against Promethean Knights, enemy [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraiths]], and the [[Warden Eternal]]s.
* Warzone, Arena, and Campaign feature two additional variants:
** '''''Pool of Radiance''''': an advanced Fuel Rod Cannon with a 40% lower rate of fire compared to the normal weapon but the fuel rods leave behind explosive submunitions, have a 42% larger blast radius, and feature a proximity airburst fuse. This weapon is very useful against bosses (e.g. Warden Eternal) or other slow-moving/large targets (e.g. [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpions]]). It is also available in the mission ''[[Reunion]]'', where it comes in handy against the Warden Eternal, especially if paired with the [[Type-56 needler#Variants|''Talon of the Lost'' Needler]], even on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
