- 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 Knights, bypassing the need to shoot them at their side weakpoints.
- Warzone and Campaign feature two additional variants:
- 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.
- 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 large targets (e.g. Scorpions). It is also available in the mission Reunion.
