The Light PPA is a nose cannon available to the Scythe. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The Light Pulsed Particle Accelerator is the Scythe's dedicated anti-infantry cannon. Sacrificing nearly all capabilities against any other target types, the Light PPA instead thrives at dealing sustained damage to clusters of infantry, whittling down their health pools with a generous explosive payload.
The Light PPA's "Magazine Size" upgrade increases the size of the cannon's magazine by up to 120%, making it the biggest improvement on any vehicle weapon.
