In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Field Armory costs {{HWTech|1}} and {{HWResources|150}} to be built. It allows the player to purchase upgrades in five areas. One upgrade reduces the amount of time needed to requisition combat units. Another increases the actual population capacity by 10 units. Two turret upgrades, available sequentially, replace the standard [[M202 XP machine gun|M202]] [[M5 Talos|turret]] with larger multi-barrel configurations, visually similar to twin- or quad-.50s. A fourth upgrade gives a significant boost to all infantry types' running speeds. The last upgrades available for purchase are three sequential improvements to the selected hero unit's leader power: adding up to three additional [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] gun shots for Captain [[James Cutter|Cutter]], nearly quadrupling the number of bombs and target area of Sergeant [[John Forge|Forge's]] [[Carpet bombing|Carpet Bomb]], and improving Professor [[Ellen Anders|Anders']] [[GBU-1105 bomb|Cryo Bomb]], significantly lengthening its effect, and knocking more aircraft out of the sky during the initial freeze.

The Field Armory is a UNSC military building produced off of a prefabricated Firebase.[1] The Covenant equivalent to the Field Armory is the Temple, which also fulfils the role of the UNSC Reactor by increasing players' Tech level.

Overview

The Field Armory is a combination of a machine/fabrication shop and a research laboratory. It is the location where the most advanced technology for the UNSC is created by dedicated engineers and scientists.[1] By the time of the Second Ark Conflict, the Field Armory's functions have been largely subsumed by the Armory structure.[2]
