The CAS 14-E is a nose cannon available to the Valkyrie. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Close Air Support 14mm - Explosive is a dedicated anti-infantry cannon. Featuring a generous magazine capacity and a small explosive payload allowing it to whittle down groups of infantry, the CAS 14-E is a potent tool for crowd control, although a moderate rate-of-fire and low direct damage statistics hamper the cannon's effectiveness against vehicles.
