CHOP CHOP INC CANNON QUEST GUIDE
Reach the confirmed strength requirement, lift the cannon, unlock and build its foundation, then craft the cannon with the required parts.
The Cannon Quest begins at Strength 4. Lift the cannon to receive the Kettlebell recipe, complete the Cannon Foundation stage, then build the working Cannon with the recovered Cannon, 2 Hamsters, 5 Screws, and 16 Ingots. Later, finish Sheldon's route, unlock Doombringer 3000 through Fish, supply Sheldon, 3 Hamsters, and a Steel Helmet, then load 1,000 furniture value and fire at Furnox.
Reach 4.0 Strength
The walkthrough explicitly states that 4.0 strength is needed to pick up the cannon. If your permanent strength is too low, the speaker notes that temporary food bonuses can raise it enough for the lift. A chicken-wing-type food is mentioned as an example, but its precise recipe and bonus are not documented in this quest material.
Train or prepare food before traveling to the cannon if you are below the requirement. Confirm the displayed strength after applying a temporary boost, because the interaction depends on the active value. The collected evidence does not show a way to move the cannon without meeting the requirement.
Carry the Cannon to the Quest Contact
After lifting the cannon, follow the objective to the large crab. Completing this handoff advances the quest and directs you to unlock the Cannon Foundation with Sir Worcestershire. The recorded player then returns to the Wood Man Corp camp area.
The focused guide identifies this as Sir Worcestershire's island progression and the Crab handoff as the route into Cannon construction. Use the active quest marker because the guide does not publish game coordinates.
Unlock and Build the Foundation
Speak with Sir Worcestershire and unlock the Cannon Foundation recipe. The walkthrough shows a foundation requirement that includes 32 stone wood and another quantity of six, but the identity of the second material is not clearly preserved in the transcript. Record that second requirement from your in-game recipe panel rather than guessing it.
Place and build the foundation at camp once the materials are ready. Finishing it unlocks the working Cannon stage. Hotfix #3 specifically addressed a possible softlock after building the Cannon Foundation, so update the game before troubleshooting an older save.
Prepare the Cannon Components
The cannon construction shown later in the walkthrough requires metal processing, piles of screws, a cannon component, and hamsters obtained through another quest line. The speaker specifically prepares five piles of screws and notes that the screw recipe produces three at a time. They also convert stored metal trunks into metal wood rather than repeatedly gathering more trunks.
The completed route records 2 Hamsters, 5 Screws, 16 Ingots, and the recovered Cannon for the working build. Keep enough Metal supply for this stage and do not spend every Hamster on optional production before checking the quest.
Build the Cannon
Return to the completed foundation and insert the requested components. The recorded player completes the build after preparing the metal bars, screw piles, cannon part, and hamsters. Once assembled, the cannon becomes another way to turn loaded items into value.
After the working Cannon, complete Sheldon's Hamster Drone progression and return to Fish for the Doombringer 3000 recipe. The focused completed run shows Sheldon, 3 Hamsters, and a Steel Helmet as key upgrade requirements. Finish the upgrade, load furniture until the interface reaches 1,000 value, aim at Furnox, and fire.
Common Reasons Progress Stops
If the cannon cannot be lifted, check active strength first. If the foundation recipe is missing, return to the crab objective and Sir Worcestershire rather than gathering random materials. If construction cannot finish, compare the recipe with your inventory for processed metal, screw piles, the cannon component, and the hamster quest reward.
If the game stalled immediately after the foundation was built, confirm Hotfix #3 or later is installed. For other firing failures, preserve the save and compare the current objective with the loaded furniture-value display before consuming more items.
Direct Answer
Reach Strength 4, lift the cannon, and receive the Kettlebell recipe. Complete the Crab and Cannon Foundation steps, then build the Cannon with the recovered Cannon, 2 Hamsters, 5 Screws, and 16 Ingots. Finish Sheldon's next route, unlock Doombringer 3000 through Fish, supply Sheldon, 3 Hamsters, and a Steel Helmet, and load 1,000 furniture value before firing at Furnox.
