'''Sky Bases''' are nothing more than boxes put up in the sky by the use of [[Forge]].

==How To Make ''Sky Bases''==
There are multiple ways to make sky bases, but first the objects must be floating. There are four ways of doing this. Each one is set out below.

====Method 1====
#Stack several boxes on top of each other, until the desired height is reached.
#Delete the unnecessary boxes.
#Repeat the first two steps until happy.

''Note'': that most objects will fall when touched, and when they respawn, they will fall to the ground.

====Method 2====
#Hold a teleporter (or in new map pack,certain objects themselves) as high in the air as wanted.
#Save the map, while still holding it.
#Exit the map.
#Go back into the map and it will be floating where it was left.
#Place desired objects on top.

====Method 3====
#Stack boxes in a tower, as high as wanted.
#Spawn a teleporter, doesn't matter what kind.
#Delete the tower.
#Place objects on top.

====Method 4====
''Note'': this one requires two players.

#Have player 2 spawn an object, like a crate.
#Player 1 spawns a teleporter and places it on top.
#Player 2 then deletes the object.
#The teleporter will now float.

====Method 5====
#Spawn the object which you wish to float in midair at the desired location and height.
#While still holding the object in place, save the map and quit.
#Return to the game, and the object will be floating in midair.

====Method 6====
#On the Heroic or Legendary packs, you can stack up boxes like the first way, except when deleted they will stay up. Touching or shooting them will not knock them down.

==Making The Bases==
After getting the objects to float, making the bases is quite simple; all it requires is a little effort and some creativity. You can protect several parts of the bases with walls and turrets, making it perfect for [[Capture the Flag|capture the flag]], [[Assault|assault]] and [[Team Slayer|team slayer]] multiplayer variants. Also, it works better on some maps than others. For example, it would work better on [[Standoff]] and [[Foundry]] than [[Valhalla]] or [[Sandtrap]], as it is a lot easier to get the objects to float.

==What To Do==
You can make massive sky platforms that take up the top of the map, or you can just have one or two small bases, that have [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|sniper rifles]] placed on them, the only limitations are your imagination and the budget.

==Fun Things To Do==
If playing against friends, try making a massive complex of platforms with vehicles, fortified areas, weapon caches, and, of course, teleporters for those who fall off. Another trick is to do it on [[Sandtrap]] and put the [[Elephant|Elephants]] up on the floating bases and play a game of pirate ships.

====Saving Boxes====
If you want to save crates and boxes then do the following: place a [[Grav Lift]] and then place a double box on it's head. Then place a receiver node on top of the double box and then place a pallet on top of the receiver node. Delete the double box and you have a suspended pallet. Repeat the process by placing a grav-lift on the pallet, putting 2 double boxes on their heads and placing 1 on top of the other. Then place a pallet on top of another receiver node and then delete the boxes underneath.

This is easy to repeat a 3rd, 4th and 5th time. By using this method you will be able to reach the highest point in [[Standoff]] or build loads of floating pathways on [[Foundry]]. 

But just watch out for [[Rocket Launchers]] and [[Spartan Laser]]s if most of your Sky Base is made up of boxes for the explosions might loosen or remove the boxes that were hit and those surrounding the area of impact. [[Snipers]] are also a threat when you are up there because, while being up there, you are just making yourself a target.
