DV-22 Raycaster

The DV-22 Raycaster is a nose cannon available to the Dervish Heavy Fighter. It is unlocked by default.

The DV-22 Raycaster is the Dervish's balanced nose cannon option. Although the DV-21 Lotus may deal considerably more damage-per-second with a much faster reload, the Raycaster's larger magazine size, higher muzzle velocity, and more favorable damage fall-off allow it to remain potent in a wider variety of situations.

Ribbons and Medals
It will be possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the DV-22 Raycaster. Each ribbon will be a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the nose cannon. Medals will be awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
