Portals
Portals are an exciting new feature that lets you build your own bases in areas your Syndicate’s members control!
How Portals Work
Building a Portal Generator upgrade on a Base creates a Portal, which allows your Syndicate’s members to use it to build their own bases nearby, as if the base was their own.
To build a Portal, you need to:
- Be a member of a Syndicate. You’re only able to build Portals while in a Syndicate, and can only use the Portals of members of your Syndicate.
- Have at least 1 Portal Generator base upgrade in your personal Inventory. You can find these by Scanning the Map.
- Add the Portal Generator to a Base where you’d like, just like any other Base Upgrade.
- Wait for construction to finish (unlike other Base Upgrades, Portal Generators cannot be hurried).
- Once construction is finished, your Syndicate members may use the base as a jumping off point to create their own bases nearby!
Bases equipped with Portal Generators (whether constructing or finished) will be identified on the Map with a special icon, making them visible to everyone (requires version 1.20 or higher)!
Using a Portal is easy! First, make sure your Portal Charge is at 100% (you can see this in the “Portals” tab on your Syndicate screen). Then, locate one of your Syndicate’s Portal-equipped bases on the Map (or via “Portals” tab on your Syndicate screen), and tap the Build button. Bases whose Portals you can use will show the typical green Creation Zone around them (the Creation Zone will be yellow if your Portal Charge is <100% and you’re running version 1.20 or higher).
Your Portal Charge takes 1 week to fully charge, and resets to 0% whenever you use a Portal, or leave/join a Syndicate.
Portal Limitations
You must be a member of a Syndicate to build or use Portal Bases. If you leave your current Syndicate, or your Syndicate disbands, all of your equipped Portal Generators are destroyed (the Base they’re equipped to is unaffected). Portal Generators in your Personal Inventory aren’t affected.
Because your Portal Charge resets whenever you leave or join a Syndicate, you won’t be able to use a Syndicate’s portals for 1 week after you join.
Portal Generators can’t be acquired – they are destroyed if their containing base is acquired.
Each player is limited to 1 equipped Portal Generator at a time. There is no per-Syndicate Portal Generator limit.
Portal bases have a fixed creation zone radius of 500m, which isn’t affected by the Base Building Skill or any other modifiers (the owner of the base, any creation zone-modifying base upgrades).
Portal bases have a minimum Acquisition Zone radius of 500m, regardless of their owner and whether they are a regional Director.
Portal Generator upgrades cannot be destroyed by C4 – the only way to destroy a portal is to acquire its containing base.
Building a Portal Generator on a Base increases your Daily Acquisition Limit by 5 for as long as you control it.
