Instructional info


Repair Drone:
The Constructor can construct map objectives needed for Strogg victory by directly approaching and holding the Use Key ("Default F") on the objective. The bar at the bottom of the screen displays your construction progress. Some large objectives must be constructed in stages, so you may have to fill the progress bar multiple times to complete the structure.

To repair a vehicle or deployable once again approach the damaged vehicle or deployable and hold the Use Key ("Default F") when the repair icon is visible. Continue to hold the Use Key ("Default F") until the target is fully repaired. Constructors gain XP for repairing damaged vehicles, even if it's unoccupied, as long as an enemy damaged it. If you come under attack while repairing it’s suggested to reequip your weapon and eliminate the threat before continuing to repair.

Disarming explosives and mines works the same way as repairing, approach the explosive you wish to disarm and equip the repair tool. Use the repair tool on the explosive to disarm it. Note: The Constructor can only disarm Trip mines, Proximity mines will blow you up if you approach them.

Turret Deploy Tool:
To place a deployable select the Deploy Tool from the weapon menu and press the "Mouse 1" button to activate the Deploy Tool. The camera will now pull into third person view and a colored wireframe outline of a deployable should be visible. If the deployable grid is red or yellow it means the deployable cannot be placed in this location, move around the map and find a location where the placement grid is green. Once a green deploy location has been located press the Use Key ("Default F") to cycle through the available deployables and then press "Mouse 1" button again to place the deployable. Once placed you can now rotate the deployable to point in the desired direction (preferably towards the enemies territory) the arrow that points away from the deployable is the direction the deployable will face once deployed. Press the "Mouse 1" button again to deploy.

Remember: You can only deploy deployables in friendly territory.

Gravmines:
Constructors can only plant three mines at a time. Planting a new mine will remove the oldest mine. To place a mine select a mine from the weapon list and press left click to toss the mine in the desired location. Once the mine is placed it has to be armed with the Repair Drone. Arm the mine by approaching it until you see the arming icon and hold the Use Key ("Default F") or "Mouse 1" button until the GravMine is armed. GravMines can be placed by using alt-fire however they can only be placed in certain locations like doorways and other small passageways.

Stroyent Allocation:
Strogg infantry have the unique ability to allocate their Stroyent supplies from their weapon to their health and vice versa [ - / + Default Keys]. This ability is extremely useful when you are about to die or when you are out of ammo. Keep in mind that you loose a fraction of Stroyent with every conversion.
