Computer Station

A desk for watching your cameras and flying drones from inside the base. Worth it once you own a few cameras, but it eats a targeting computer of its own.

Overview

In-game description

A Computer station for remote control access

Sit down at it and the base gets eyes. Each CCTV camera you place gets a name, you add that name to the station, and from then on you flick through the feeds without leaving your chair. The same desk flies a drone, so you can look over the roof or the compound next door when explosions start nearby at night.

The everyday use is simpler. Someone has been hanging around outside for a while. You check the camera over the entrance, see two players crouched by the wall with shotguns, and leave through the back instead.

The price sits in the parts, not the Level 2 bench. Besides high quality metal it takes an RF Broadcaster, an RF Receiver and a targeting computer, the same part every auto turret eats. Most groups build turrets first and the station once targeting computers stop being rare.

Tip

Several monuments have public cameras with fixed names. Add them and you can see who is at a monument before you make the run.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
