Build phases

Two-storey tower with raised firing positions accessible by ladder. The flat top deck can carry a Talon. Face the ladder inward. Box the ladder base with HESCO and doors (ladder tech) so attackers climb single-file into a kill box. Nothing can be placed right next to the ladder.

Phase 01

Place and build

Open the radial (right mouse + F), page with F until you find the Recon Tower, place it with a green hologram and hammer the yellow X markers. Two-storey tower with raised firing positions accessible by ladder. The flat top deck can carry a Talon.

Phase 02

Cover the approach

A single run of barbed wire on the threat side slows anyone walking up with C4 and gives you a warning. Keep the ladder or doorway side facing your console, never the enemy.
