The Supernova PC is a primary weapon available to the Magrider. It is auto granted.

The Supernova Plasma Cannon is the Magrider's balanced tank cannon. Dealing less damage-per-shot than the Magrider's other cannons, the Supernova PC instead boasts the fastest reload speed of the line-up giving it a notable edge up in damage compared to the other cannons over an extended engagement, although the cannon's burst damage against vehicles and infantry suffers as a result. It is important to note, that even 1st lvl of flak armor will prevent infantry geting one-shoted by a direct hit, such is not the case with either the FPC or VPC variant.
