The Supernova FPC is a primary weapon available to the Magrider. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Supernova Focused Plasma Cannon is the Magrider's specialized anti-vehicle cannon. It sacrifices a fair amount of the splash damage potential found on the Magrider's other cannons in exchange for the best muzzle velocity and highest damage-per-shot in the line-up.
