How to get more vehicles in Forge

Hey guys, thought I’d share a little trick with you I found out last night.

As you may know, the base turrets from dominion will work in any gametype when placed in forge and are fully operational. This can add great new sense to a custom game or map.

Additionally, the base shields also work, which is great due to the low number of shield doors we’re allows (normally around 6-8 per map I think) and you can have up to 32 of the things, plus allocate them to different teams.

If you haven’t learned something yet, then perhaps you are about to. One more dominion item that works in any gametype is the vehicle pad. Now, you can have 16 vehicle pads all up from memory, so 8 per team. However, if you add this on top of the about of vehicles you can already have (about 8 per vehicle), then you will end up with even more!

Plus, they only cost $100 so they are cheaper than buying the vehicles themselves (with the exception of the ghost and mongoose)! This is great for team games as well, as you can set it per team so the other team cannot steal them. This will open up many a possibility within custom maps and gametypes.

I’m currently working on my first full forge map (only had one or two I made in H3 and Reach), which showcases this. Hope to bring it to you soon!

Thanks for your time and I hope this helps :slight_smile:

Nice find, now tell me, is there any way to change how often the vehicle pads allow a vehicle to be respawned? I’ve tried messing with the Cooldown but to no avail.

Does the file share work ?, so i can download said map and gametype ?.

Good question. I should mention that, even if you set the cooldown to 0 or even -1, I believe this basically means it will start ‘charging’ as soon as the previous vehicle dies. Not sure how long charging takes though, seems to be about 20 seconds and I don’t think you can change it. Had respawn timer set to 0 as well. Maybe someone can shed some light?

As for the file share, I think you can if you view my service record and access my file share from there, but searching might not work. Haven’t tested yet so not 100% sure I’m afraid.
