i've been searching for this weapon for ages. has someone actually found it? I have heard it is in the shipwreck in omicron alpha near unknown jumphole but i have't found it there.

Another thing is that too often the weapons get destroyed when i shoot the ship.
I have tried to shoot with smaller weapons but still it happens. does this have any good reason?

Thanks for help (assuming there's gonna be any

There's a whole bunch of Outcast fighter wrecks to search there, and only one has the Cerberus guns; but several of them have Ripper mine droppers and Wyrm Type 2 guns. The way I make sure I've checked all of them is to avoid getting too close to the jumphole they're clustered around, because when you're near there your sensors have reduced efficiency, and then select each wreck in turn from the sensor list and look at it's direction indicator to see if I've already damaged it. This works pretty well for ensuring you got them all, but the constant radiation and packs of Nomad fighters that show up make it a bit of a pain. Good luck!

I got sick of it and used the PerfOptions cheat.
Took me 30 mins just to find the right wreck..ArGh.

i'm still curious about weapons getting destroyed. Right now i'm using smallest justice turret there is and i still get that sometimes. I wonder if it's somekind of bug or something.

When sorting through the Outcast ships, switch to wireframe view. The wrecks with guns will have them visible on the wireframe as purple pods. You can even see what weapon it is by hitting the target subsystem button.

The only problem I have with that is that all of the shipwrecks on the server I play on have been looted already.

Do you really need those?
IMHO.
Nomad + SkyBlast Bs + SkyBlast B Turret = Optimum loadout for VHFs.

Also, make sure you fire one weapon, once. Your best way to do this id to tap your #1 button. Why #1? Because the 1st and second weapons slot are always your weakest weapons. Even in a class 10 ship, that slot can only take a lvl 9 weapon.

If you're playing multiplayer maybe the wrecks are all looted before you get there... If that's the case then the stuff comes out on fire.
