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.

December 13, 2017 Hotfix

  • Price changed from 1,000 Certification Points/700 Daybreak Cash to 875 Certification Points/599 Daybreak Cash

October 30, 2014 Update

Performance Update Number 2

  • Direct hit damage increased from 1785 to 1865

Game Update Number 9

  • Supernova FPC - increased from 750 Certification Points/700 Daybreak Cash to 1,000 Certification Points/700700 Daybreak Cash.
