The L-30R Vektor is a nose cannon available to the Liberator. It is auto granted.

The L-30R Vektor is a versatile anti-vehicle cannon. It offers consistently high damage-per-second out to a longer range, particularly against heavier aircraft, though does not cater as well to an ambush playstyle against ground vehicles, nor does it offer any anti-infantry capability.

History[]

  • March 20, 2019 Update
    • Aiming with optics no longer allows you to swivel the turret.
    • Dev Note: Since the introduction of the Spur-like swiveling optics, a common complaint has been the inability to maneuver the Liberator while aiming; this feedback alongside the Liberator's newfound ability to obliterate larger aircraft with the Vektor factored into the decision to revert this feature. We may reintroduce the swivel functionality for the Vektor and Tank Buster at a later date, but if it were done, it would be bound to a unique type of optic so that players could choose between more maneuverability and the ability to swivel the turret.
  • March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
    • The reload speed certification lines for main cannons, noseguns, ESF wing mounts, Liberator bellyguns, and Flash weapons have been standardized at 5/7/8.5/9.5/10% reload speed.
