The online shooter Planetside 2 received a major update that introduced the Construction System for building bases.
Base building had been in a testing phase since the end of last year, but now the update is officially live.This somewhat resembles the real-time strategy classic Dune 2 or Command & Conquer. You call in Advanced Nanite Transports (ANTs) to go across the map searching for the resource Cortium. You collect it, and once you have enough, you can deploy the collector and start building a base. The buildings are then paid for with Cortium.
Build your own base
Cortium allows buildings to be set up quickly. It is therefore not only a resource but also a kind of booster. It should be noted that Cortium is only available in limited quantities. This means that fierce battles will break out around the resources, as everyone wants to collect as much of the mineral as possible. Therefore, the ANT must also be protected. Four players can fit in an ANT, providing a kind of escort that is urgently needed.
When placing buildings like turrets, bunkers, or garages, you have relatively free reign. You can see exactly where there is space and where construction is possible. In this way, you construct a custom base in the game. This serves as a refuge but must also be defended.
The Cortium must flow!
Cortium is more than just a resource needed for building structures. It is fuel for the “HIVE” (Hardline Interference Volume Emitter), which produces victory points. The HIVE must therefore be protected and continuously supplied with Cortium. These bases offer new tactical options in Planetside 2.
