The L100 Python HE is the Anti-Infantry version of the L100 Python series of turrets for the Nanite Systems Lightning. The High-Explosive (HE) shells that it fires have a much larger blast radius than either the HEAT or AP versions of the turret, and is primarily balanced around the anti-infantry role. The damage to armored vehicles is noticeably less than the other L100 Python turrets, and the reload speed is the fastest when Reload Speed is maxed.

All L100 Python turrets share a much flatter shell trajectory than compared to the default C75 Viper turret.

Effectiveness versus ArmorEdit

The following table indicates the number of direct hits required from an L100 Python HE turret to destroy a stock version of an appropriate vehicle from full health. The number of shells required to set a stock opponent on fire is listed in brackets; some vehicles are never damaged enough to be set on fire prior to the final shell that destroys them. It should be noted that the HE is not designed for Anti-Armor role, and using it as such can be considered sub-optimal.

Note: Shots to Kill does not take into account reload times, shell velocities, or other vehicle mitigations such as fire suppression, extra armor, or nanite repair systems. The values should be used as a rough indication only when comparing between turrets.
