Obsidian Entertainment and My.com have announced that Armored Warfare Early Access Test 5 will be launching on September 3 and will last till September 20. Along with many exciting updates that include new maps, vehicles and gameplay changes, Early Access 5 will bring a brand new Base feature to the game. Base functions as the seat of power for a player’s Private Military Company (PMC) and consists of multiple buildings, which players choose to build and upgrade.
Each Base starts with just a single garage, but players can build many additional structures to provide boosts to their PMC and upgrade each building from level 1 to the max level of 8. A building will provide significantly better rewards and boosts once it is fully upgraded.
Please note that Early Access 5 will be the very first introduction of the Base gameplay and most of the features are yet to be added. So far, the list of buildings players can construct along with their benefits which add passive and incremental bonuses include:
Academy – Bonus to commander XP per battle
Airport – Credits discount when purchasing Retrofit upgrades
Ammo Depot – Reputation discount to unlock Firepower upgrades
Armory – Reputation discount to unlock Armor upgrades
Barracks – bonus to Crew XP
Command Center – Global Match Reputation gain bonus
Garage – Global Repair Cost reduction
Helipad – Global Match Credit gain bonus
Harbor – Provides an incremental Raw Materials shipment increase
Recon Post – Provides a passive discount to Premium Time purchases
