Eastern Wastes



The Eastern Wastelands is an area on the world map added in the 2.8 patch. The famous laser weaponry Installation 17 is located here and is also where Aurora is from. As the story in the game continues, players learn more from Aurora about Installation 17's constant troubles with the Silver Wolves and often sent their to help clear them out.

Players beaware, the Eastern Wastelands introduces a new hazard that should not be taken lightly. Ice DoT is introduced in every battle that takes place there. It is very frigid there and only few units are resistant to freezing up. Units that are not resistant will be damaged every turn by the the ice. Vehicles lose 56 hp every turn, infantry, 60 hp. The 2.8 patch added two new units that are ice resistant: the Arctic Tank and the Arctic Trooper.

All units except the Cyro Trooper, Frostbite, Young Bigfoot, Bigfoot, Arctic Tank and Arctic Trooper will be affected by the DoT.

Take into consideration that when using units that aren't ice resistant, you are effectively taking twice the damage per turn. First being pounded by the Silver Wolves, then minus the 56 or 60 hp for vehicles and infantry respectively  from the ice.
