The Gunship is equipped with a Mark 1 Cannon and a Mercury Rocket Launcher. The Mercury Rocket launcher fires rockets that target the deepest creeper in range and can maneuver around corners to reach it. This rocket launcher proves a cost-effective means of damaging deep creeper.

You receive your first Gunship at the start of Alcance: Purpose (mission 2). Additional gunships can be unlocked by collecting the tech pickup on Procyon: Unexpected (mission 3) and the central tech pickup on Orionis: Ephemeral (mission 7).
