GDI STRUCTURES
47
HELIPAD
ARMOR: MEDIUM
COST: 1500
SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 100
POWER USAGE: 10
PURPOSE: HELICOPTER LANDING
Building the Helipad allows the use of the ORCA attack aircraft. The
Helipad is also the rearming station for the ORCA. If the Helipad is lost,
the ORCA will not be able to reload. Any ORCA can use any Helipad on
your side.
WEAPONS FACTORY
ARMOR: MEDIUM
COST: 2000
SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 133
POWER USAGE: 30
PURPOSE: PRODUCES HEAVY VEHICLES & AIR POWER
This structure builds GDI’s vehicles. It is well armored, but is also a
favorite target for enemy Engineers. If your Weapons Factory is captured,
not only do you lose the ability to build vehicles, but the enemy is able to
build your vehicles in addition to his own. Building multiple Weapons
Factories will decrease the amount of time it takes to create a vehicle.
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS CENTER/ION CANNON
ARMOR: HEAVY
COST: 2800
SECONDS TO PRODUCE: 186
POWER USAGE: 200
PURPOSE: PARTICLE BEAM CANNON
An upgrade to the Communications Center, this structure not only provides
radar, but is the uplink center for the Ion Cannon—GDI’s most devastating
weapon. Once charged, it can unleash a blast on an unsuspecting target.
The Ion Cannon requires power to charge: If your base is under powered,
it will stop. To fire, left click on the Ion Cannon icon in the sidebar.
