What is field storage? Basic information and role in the game
Field storage facilities are cylindrical facilities scattered on the ground map with large antennas on their roofs. It is displayed as a house-like icon on the map, and you can see the details as you approach. The main role of this facility is to bring in nearby field crates to open reward boxes. Reward boxes give you items that are directly related to battle, so it's worth stopping by on every sortie.
The exterior of the field storage is a weathered metal cylinder with a structure that is easy to defend with plenty of cover around it. Inside is a machine called a feeding station, into which you set the crate. You can make multiple deliveries in one sortie, making it perfect for earning trial scores. Additionally, antenna repair may occur as a quest objective. It is essential as a stable source of combat items when collecting resources to strengthen Speranza's workshop as the game progresses.
Field storage can be found on all maps and can be found in areas such as Dam Battlefield, Buried City, Spaceport, Blue Gate, and Stella Monteith. Use them according to the characteristics of each map. For example, the Dam Battlefield has a lot of water near it, making it easy for crates to hide, while the Buried Town is a densely built area with a high risk of enemy attack.
How to use field storage | A complete step-by-step guide
Field storage is simple to operate, but the key point is its vulnerability during crate transportation. Detailed steps are provided below.
- Check the map and approach: After sortieing, open the map and look for the house icon. When you get close, a pin will appear and you will know the exact location. Choose a time when there are no enemies and approach.
- Field Crate Search: Search all over the ground and buildings around the storage room. The crate is a silver rectangular parallelepiped and can only be held with two hands. If you pick it up and it doesn't go into your inventory, your movement speed will be reduced and you won't be able to use weapons. Usually spawns 1-3.
- Crate transportation: Pick up the crate and bring it inside the storage room. Be careful of ARCs and players on the way, and use cover. If you have allies, ask them to protect you.
- Loading into the feeding station: Insert the crate into the internal machine (feeding station) with interaction. After setting, the reward box next to it will be opened.
- Collect Rewards: Collect items from boxes. Can be repeated if there are multiple crates. After collecting it, look for the next crate.
- Antenna repair (during quest): You may climb onto the roof and repair the antenna. Accessible by ladder or jump.
By repeating this procedure, you can secure a large amount of combat items in one sortie. Visibility is limited while transporting the crate, so please be sure to check your surroundings for safety.
How to find field crates and things to keep in mind
The field crate is located a short distance from the storage room. The main spawn locations are as follows.
- On the ground: lying on the grass or roadside.
- Inside the building: Placed in the corner of the room or on a shelf.
- High places: On top of containers and roofs (inside the water tower in the Dam Battlefield).
Points to note:
- Number of spawns: 2 to 4 per storage. It disappears when someone picks it up.
- Transportation risk: It is easy to be targeted due to slow speed. When soloing, choose an area that has already been cleared.
- Respawn: A new spawn will occur after delivery.
- Visibility: The silver color makes it noticeable, but you need to be careful not to miss it at night or in grassy areas.
Examples of dam battlefields: Inside the building at the north end of the electrical substation, at the base of the hill, inside the water tower, etc.
Detailed list of reward details | Expected items and probability trends
