Notes[]
- Once the Tiberium infusion upgrade has been purchased, the vent in the center of the roof will start emitting Tiberium gas, in a similar fashion to the Nod Tiberium silos.
- Similarly, once the Confessor or Black Disciple upgrades has been purchased, two glowing green lanterns (orange for the Black Disciple upgrade) will appear on both sides of the entrance to the building. Alternatively for the Marked of Kane, once the Cybernetic Legs upgrade has been purchased, two pillars will appear in the front side of the building.
- When the purifying flame upgrade has been purchased, a flame barrel will appear on the right side of the building.
Behind the scenes[]
- The lanterns for the Confessor upgrade was originally part of the Hand of Nod[2].
