Endwar:Upgrades

Units in EndWar can receive various upgrades to improve them. These upgrades branch into four categories: Attack, Defense, Mobility, and Ability. Attack upgrade increase damage, range, accuracy, and rate of fire while also unlocking a special attack ability. Defense increases Health and Shield points, Mobility increases either vehicle movement speed or Infantry uplink capture and upgrade speed, and Ability enables special features of that particular unit. Battalion Upgrades are simply upgrades to the mission supports that players can use during games. All factions have the following abilities for specific units:

• Riflemen have stealth abilities and can counter those abilities, storm buildings, snipe, detect minefields, deploy anywhere on the map, and enable Artillery to fire their special attack from an extended range.
• Engineers can deploy sentries to defend Uplinks, place and defuse landmines, and restore the shield of a friendly unit.
• Command Vehicles can deploy drones that can attack or defend targets, can launch an armed UAV, detect stealth and minefields, enable SITREP view.
