Bunker Drop

The Bunker, as seen in its Blitz artwork.

The Bunker Drop is a deployable ability available to Sergeant Johnson in the multiplayer of Halo Wars 2. Activating the ability will allow the player to deploy a UNSC bunker anywhere in their line of sight on the battlefield, from which they and their allies can garrison infantry for protection. Deploying the ability works in a similar manner to deploying ODSTs or orbital strikes, wherein the bunker will immediately drop into the battlefield and be ready for use.

Overview

The Bunker Drop is an air-droppable garrison building used by the UNSC. It is permanent, but does cost population capacity. It has enough fire points for squads, and has a built—in table for card games while the troops wait for enemies to wander by. The Reinforced Bunker upgrade increases its infantry capacity and adds a shield.

• Bunkers dropped before advancing to Bunker Drop II will not retroactively upgrade to support four garrisonable units.
