| '''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.
