M20 Basilisk/Flash

The M20 Basilisk-F is a Nanite Systems all-purpose secondary weapon available to the Flash. The Basilisk is a slow firing machine gun capable of dealing moderate damage to all target types. Unlike most other ground vehicles, bar the ANT, the Flash does not have the Basilisk unlocked by default.

The M20 Basilisk-F enjoys a high degree of versatility. Whilst it may not specialize into any one job, it can fire upon all target types to a relatively good degree of success. However, due to the particularly fragile nature of the Flash, the Basilisk may not be as clear cut an option as it first seems.

As the Flash is the weakest vehicle available, alongside exposing the crew, it is in the driver's best interests to stay exposed for as short a duration as possible. Due to the slow fire rate of the Basilisk, the Flash may have to stay in the line of fire for longer than necessary in order to lock down a kill, which will more often than not prove fatal. As such, the specialized side grades, more specifically the M40 Fury-F, will prove more useful due to the faster time to kill, even if some versatility is sacrificed.

Ribbons and Medals
With any vehicle 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 vehicle weapon. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the vehicle weapon.
