Lancer bunker

Post by Square »

Hi,
Is the lancer bunker only available in the campaign? I cant find it in skirmish games, and it's not in the guide either...
But since the Heavy Cannon trucks are so strong against Hardpoints, I really prefer the lancer bunker.
Is this a bug? Or a balancing feature?

It was removed due to game-balancing.

Zarel replaced it with the Lancer Tower because the Lancer Bunker was the best structure to turtle in any map.

So it's only available in Campaign Mode.

If your strucutures are upgraded enough as well their weapons, they can beat them well.

No! Hardcrete upgrades are very important! They can make the diffrence between 1 and 2 or even 3 HC shots, whose you obviously need.

Try building a row of bunkers in front of your row of Lancer Hardpoints. My preference is the Rotary MG bunker. These two weapons are complimentary. The Rotary MG provides great sustained rate of fire and slices through Cyborgs, while the Lancers are effective against tanks. The row of bunkers should also draw fire away from the Lancer hardpoints.
My game handle is Cosmic Raven or Cosmic Raven 68
