The A30 Walker is a top and tail weapon available to the Galaxy, among other vehicles. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The A30 Walker is a fast-firing anti-air machine gun, sacrificing a good chunk of power against ground targets in exchange for notably high velocity and excellent damage against air targets. Unlike most dedicated anti-air weapons, the Walker has no type of proximity fusing or lock-on mechanic built into it, requiring gunners to directly hit the target.
