V30-F Starfall

The V30-F Starfall is a primary weapon available to the Vanu Sovereignty's Flash. It is available for purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The V30-F Starfall is a short-range, high damage anti-vehicle weapon that empties its six-round magazine in two quick three-round bursts, separated by a brief delay. The weapon deals comparatively high damage quickly as compared to other Flash weaponry, however loses out on overall damage-over-time thanks to the weapon's unfavorable reload time.

The Starfall presents itself as a contender in the Flash anti-vehicle market, competing with the M40 Fury-F which it defeats in a burst damage competition. However, in exchange, the Fury is far superior at dealing with vehicles with larger health pools, and can also flex into anti-infantry with moderate success.

Ribbons and Medals
With any Flash weapon, it is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with a Flash weapon. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the Flash weapon.
