L100 Python AP

The  is a primary weapon available to the Lightning. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The L100 Python Armor Piercing is the Lightning's dedicated anti-vehicle cannon. Though not quite boasting the burst damage of the C75 Viper, the Python AP instead takes its spot as the premier cannon for sustained anti-vehicle damage.

Featuring the highest velocity, damage-per-shot, and damage-per-second of any Lightning cannon, the Python AP poses a considerable threat to any target it can hit—able to deal critical damage to even heavily armored aircraft—although these perks come at a serious loss to the cannon's explosive payload, with the worst indirect damage characteristics of any cannon.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the cannon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
