The Radar Spire is an essential structure for the Epsilon Army, which grants access to more advanced technologies and provides radar for the proselyte.

Official description[]

Radar Spires provide the Epsilon commanders with a radar mini-map and clearance to use more potent technology, like the Mind Reader or Vision, which allow them to see through enemy movements. Additionally, it provides the use of genetically modified Ravens that function as advanced scouting units.[1]

Overview[]

For a detailed list of changes from the original game, click here.

Built off of the design of the Psychic Sensor, the Radar Spire no longer integrates its functionality like its counterpart in the original game does - however, it becomes more important than ever to build a Radar Spire as Epsilon Tier 2 requires both this building and the Pandora Hub to be completely unlocked. In addition, both structures are required to build Pandora Hub plugins, which unlock Tier 3.

If the player opts for an infantry-oriented or aircraft-oriented strategy, and/or simply gain a tactical advantage in the form of radar and reconnaissance powers, building the Radar Spire first before the Pandora Hub should be preferred.

Other than granting access to a portion of Epsilon Tier 2, the Radar Spire also provides access to the following support powers:

Appearances[]

Act Two[]

  • In Awake and Alive, Radar Spire debuts as an unidentified Enemy Structure. Destruction of Radar Spires can prevent Epsilon from sending more reinforcement.
  • Radar Spire first appears as a buildable structure in Memory Dealer.
  • In Hysteria, the first objective is to capture a Radar Spire. After that, all the Bio Reactors on the map will be revealed.
  • In Insomnia, a Dybbuk Hive could be destroyed by destroying the Mind Readers and Radar Spires on a path distinguished by reddish pavement connected to the Hive. This case appears in Withershins too.
  • In Earthrise, several Radar Spires can be found near spare Rocket Launchpads and in the main Epsilon base. Capturing each of them will give a piece of info like Yuri's whereabouts.

Special Ops[]

  • In Parasomnia, the player needs to destroy the 3 Radar Spires and 4 Mind Readers connected to the Dybbuk Hives through the concrete road in the first phase of the mission to disable the hives; in the first phase of the map, there is another Radar Spire unconnected to the Hive, an Engineer will come to capture it to provide minimap for the Allies.
  • Chronologically, like many other Epsilon structures, the Radar Spire first appears in the Foehn Special Ops mission Time Capsule.
