The “Dawn” Ve.II is a Colonial 3-round burst Anti-Tank Rifle. It fires 20mm ammunition.
Description
The “Dawn” Ve.II is a Colonial 3-round burst 20mm primary weapon with 105-157 Anti-Tank Kinetic damage, great fire rate (180 rounds/min), medium range (22.5m effective, 32m max), 21-round magazine, and relatively bad accuracy. Moving and firing significantly decreases the gun's accuracy so it is best fired from a stable position like behind cover. It also slows the player when wielded.
It is effective against infantry at medium range in a defensive role however it's not very cost-effective.
It is effective against unarmoured and light armoured vehicles but struggles against heavy armored vehicles like Tanks or Field Weapons. It damages the integrity of vehicle Tank Armour by an amount equal to twice the damage dealt.
It can destroy deployed tripods but does no damage to all other structures.
It can suppress infantry, garrisoned defenses, and all vehicle gunners.
It is relatively heavy (200). The Soldier Uniform can reduce its weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
Infantry Kit Factory  (Special-Issue Firearms Assembly) | 1 crate  of “Dusk” ce.III  3 x Processed Construction Materials  5 x Assembly Materials II  4 MW of power  | 1 crate of 3 x “Dawn” Ve.II  | 00:01:15 |
Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of “Dawn” Ve.II can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
Due to the movement penalty when equipped, it can be advantageous to switch to a secondary weapon when on the move.
