'''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.
 
===The First Way===
Step 1: Stack several boxes on top of each other, until the desired height is reached.
 
Step 2: Delete the unnecessary boxes.
 
Step 3: Repeat the first two steps until happy.
 
*Please note that most objects will fall when touched, and when they respawn, they will fall to the ground.
 
===The Second Way===
Step 1: Hold a teleporter (or in new map pack,certain objects themselves) as high in the air as wanted.
 
Step 2: Save the map, while still holding it.
 
Step 3: Exit the map.
 
Step 4: Go back into the map and it will be floating where it was left.
 
Step 5: Place desired objects on top.
 
===The Third Way===
Step 1: Stack boxes in a tower, as high as wanted.
 
Step 2: Spawn a teleporter, doesn't matter what kind.
 
Step 3: Delete the tower.
 
Step 4: Place objects on top.
 
===The Fourth Way===
*Note, this one requires two players.
 
Step 1: Have player 2 spawn an object, like a crate.
 
Step 2: Player 1 spawns a teleporter and places it on top.
 
Step 3: Player 2 then deletes the object.
 
Step 4: the teleporter will now float.
 
===The Fifth Way===
 
Step 1: Spawn the object which you wish to float in midair at the desired location and height.
 
Step 2: While still holding the object in place, save the map and quit.
 
Step 3: Return to the game, and the object will be floating in midair.
 
===The Sixth Way===
 
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 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 pallet on top of the double box. 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 a 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.
