Navigating the New Tower and Plate Variations
Navigating the 2 New Plate Types
The foundation of an overhauled outpost is built on one of 2 new plate layouts. These plates redefine the ground floor of the encounter:
- Assessing the Layout: Identify choke points, ramps, and staircases created by the new ground design. Avoid rushing directly toward the center, as the new plates create elevated positions for pillagers to target you from multiple angles.
- Using Foundation Cover: Take advantage of the new plate borders and decorative walls to block lines of sight while fighting off crossfire from upper levels.
Conquering the 4 New Tower Types
Each outpost configuration incorporates one of 4 newly designed tower styles that change how you ascend the structure:
1. Locate Access Points: Examine the tower base for entrance openings. Some tower designs feature alternate climb points, such as exposed ladders or wrapping stairs.
2. Manage Vertical Blind Spots: Because the 4 tower variants feature distinct decorative parts and floor configurations, check corners before stepping onto new platforms.
3. Secure the High Ground: Reaching the roof of the tower gives you complete aerial oversight of the entire compound, allowing you to safely survey the area for any missed chests.
