The centerpiece of the tank is its [[Vanquisher Cannon]], a modified cannon with superior range, accuracy and a first-hit kill ratio.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}} Both Forgeworlds produce a cannon able to achieve these effects, albeit through different methods, and the tank has achieved a fearsome reputation among the Imperial Guard and its enemies.{{Fn|1a}} The Vanquisher is also equipped with advanced [[auspex]] sensors including threat detectors, terrain finder{{Fn|4a}} and motion sensors,{{Fn|4b}} along with [[Targeter]] gear including range-finders.{{Fn|1bCite this}} Many are fitted with co-axial [[Storm Bolter]]s while other secondary weapons come in the form of a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]], [[Heavy Flamer]] or [[Lascannon]]; if fitted with side sponsons it can also mount additional Heavy Bolters, Heavy Flamers, [[Multi-melta]]s or [[Plasma Cannon]]s. A [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launchers]] are standard on Vanquishers, while other upgrades include [[Camo Netting]], a [[Dozer Blade]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]] and/or a [[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]]/Storm Bolter.{{Fn|2b}}
