Corvas

The Corvas flak cannon is a heavy shotgun designed for exclusive use with the Archwing flight system, introduced in Update 15. It operates in a similar fashion to the Drakgoon due to the ability to charge shots for tighter spread or fire rapidly with very wide spread.

The charged mode, however, does not appear to be working. Firing at objects at various ranges will yield no difference in the shot spread pattern regardless of whether one charges the weapon or not.

Components for the Corvas are dropped on Archwing Interception missions every 4 Rounds.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * High base damage.
 * High damage makes it effective against shields.
 * Pellet spread can hit multiple targets per shot.
 * Comes with a polarity slot.

Disadvantages:
 * Short maximum effective range even with charged shot.
 * Slow rate of fire.
 * Relatively small magazine.

Tips

 * As a shotgun-like weapon, the Corvas is best used when engaging enemies at close range, where its scattershot spread can be used to deliver massive damage against enemy units.
 * As the Corvas shoots multiple pellets in a wide area at once, it is more effective at shooting down enemy missile volleys from Hellion Dargyns and Shield-Hellion Dargyns.

Trivia

 * Corvas is derived from corvus, the Latin term for crow, a bird commonly viewed as a harbinger of death and destruction on battlefields in many northern European cultures.
 * The Corvas and the Onorix are the first non-prime weapons to have tradeable components. no longer trade
