| The '''Field Armory''' is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] military building produced off of a prefabricated [[Firebase]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/firebase.aspx#armory|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Field Armory|D=20|M=03|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/UNSC#Field Armory}} It serves as the UNSC counterpart to the [[Covenant Temple|Temple]] and [[Banished War Council|War Council]] structures used by the [[Covenant]] and [[Banished]], respectively. | | The '''Field Armory''' is a [[UNSC]] building in the game ''[[Halo Wars]]''. |

|
| == Overview == | | ==Function== |
| The Field Armory is a combination of a machine/fabrication shop and a research laboratory. It is the location where the most advanced technology for the UNSC is created by dedicated engineers and scientists.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} By the time of the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Field Armory's functions have been largely subsumed by the [[UNSC Armory|Armory]] structure.{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix_Logs#UNSC_Buildings|Phoenix Logs|Detail=[[UNSC Armory|Armory]]}} | | The UNSC's Field Armory is a cross between a machine\fabrication shop, and a research laboratory. This is where the most advanced technology for the UNSC is created by dedicated engineers and scientists. |

| ==In-game information==
| | The Field Armory allows the player to purchase upgrades in five areas. One upgrade reduces the amount of time needed to requisition combat units. Another increases the actual population capacity by 10 units. Two turret upgrades, available sequentially, replace the standard M202 turret with larger multi-barrel configurations, visually similar to twin- or quad-.50s. A fourth upgrade gives a significant boost to all infantry types' running speeds. The last upgrades available for purchase are three sequential improvements to the selected hero unit's leader power: adding up to three additional MAC gun shots for Captain Cutter, nearly quadrupling the number of bombs and target area of Sergeant Forge's Carpet Bomb, and improving Professor Anders' Cryo Bomb, significantly lengthening its effect, and knocking more aircraft out of the sky during the initial freeze. |

| |
| In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Field Armory costs {{HWTech|1}} and {{HWResources|150}} to be built. The [[Covenant]] equivalent to the Field Armory is the [[Covenant Temple|Temple]], which also fulfils the role of the [[UNSC Reactor|Reactor]] by offering upgrades for increasing players' Tech level.

| | An excellent tactic to use with the Field Armory is to build one early on, quickly research any upgrades the player plans to utilize, and then scrap the building in place of a [[Vehicle Depot]], [[Air Pad]], or [[Barracks]], allowing for the highest possible number of [[Supply Pads]], while still leaving room for unit production. It costs 150 resources and requires a tech level of 1. |
