Production and tech
Counters
The Arsenal is the third level of the War Factory: everything the Advanced War Factory builds, plus the Salamander and the Bulwark. Upgrading to it needs a Radar Station standing, and the line builds nothing for the 45 seconds the upgrade takes.
How to use
That downtime is the price. At the Tier-3 stage 45 seconds is a wave, so take the line offline when the front is quiet, or keep a second factory at Level 2 to cover it. The two units it adds are specialists — a siege mortar that burns its own escort, an escort that cannot shoot — so upgrade when you have seen what they answer: turret clusters behind Missile Interrupters, and rocket artillery. Lose the radar and both leave the build menu until it stands again; the rest of the roster stays.
