Build and Pilot an Airship to Travel and Scout

Hot air balloons and airships let you cross the land safely above the Titans roaming below. They also give you a high vantage point to spot enemies before they spot you.

Building Your Craft

1. Look up the balloon and airship recipes in the recipe book or any recipe viewer the pack includes. Don't guess at parts or materials.

2. Start with the simplest flying craft you can make. Learn its controls before you invest in anything larger.

3. Build or place it in an open area away from trees and tall structures, so you have clear space to lift off.

Flying and Scouting

• Learn the controls on the ground first. Check your bindings in Options > Controls > Key Binds so you know how to climb, descend and steer.
• Gain height before traveling. Titans wander across the world. Staying well above them is the point of flying, so climb before you cross open ground.
• Use the view. From the air, scan for Titans near your base or along your route. Note where they are so you can plan an attack or a detour.
• Land somewhere safe. Before you come down, check the landing area for nearby Titans. Landing next to your base or inside a protected area is safest.
• Combine with your gear. An airship gets you over danger, and your mobility gear handles the close-up work. Scout from above, then decide whether to engage.

Treat your airship as both transport and an early-warning post.
