The L2-100 Kingsnake is a Terran Republic specific primary weapon available to the Lightning. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The L2-100 Kingsnake is a dual mount of 100mm cannons. Fired in a rapid 2-shell-burst, the Kingsnake is capable of unloading a high damage-per-magazine very quickly. However, the turret's effective range is slightly limited by a small cone-of-fire, causing noticeable deviation when firing at distant targets, and the entire magazine is unloaded on a single trigger pull preventing any sort of accuracy control or ammo management.

The Kingsnake fires its burst at 333 RPM, which makes a full burst take 180ms (0.18 seconds) to fire. Compared to its brother fitted to the Prowler, the L2-100 Kingsnake deals slightly higher damage-per-shot (400 damage up from 350 damage) with slightly more lethal splash (325 damage up from 300) and a slightly shorter reload time (2.75 seconds down from 3.5 seconds), though at expense of two shots per magazine.

Unlike most other tank cannons, the L2-100 Kingsnake features a multiple-shot magazine, with a 200ms refire delay. After the last shot in a magazine, the refire delay must be incurred before a reload can begin, meaning that after both rounds are fired the weapon's reload will take 200ms (0.2 seconds) longer than expected.
