The P4-120 Kingsnake is a primary weapon available to the Prowler. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The P4-120 Kingsnake is a quad mount of 120mm cannons. Fired in a rapid 4-shell-burst, the Kingsnake is capable of unloading incredibly 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 300 RPM, which makes a full burst take 600ms (0.6 seconds) to fire.

Unlike most other tank cannons, the 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 all four rounds are fired the weapon's reload will take 200ms (0.2 seconds) longer than expected.
