VLG Missile Launcher

The  is a nose cannon available to the Valkyrie. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The VLG Missile Launcher fires laser-guided anti-vehicle missiles, allowing the gunner to threaten vehicles out to longer ranges with pin-point accuracy. The missile also features a moderate amount of splash damage, although its anti-infantry capabilities are limited by the single-shot nature of the weapon where direct hits cannot be achieved.

When fired, VLG missiles start with a velocity of 50m/s, before rapidly accelerating up to 150m/s. With a lifespan of 3000ms (3s), VLG missiles have a maximum range of approximately 400 meters.

The launcher's missiles are laser-guided, and will follow the gunner's crosshair to the best of their ability. If the user leaves the gunner seat or the Valkyrie is destroyed, the missile will continue flying in its last commanded direction until it strikes a target or terrain, or reaches the end of its lifespan.
