Among of the most lucrative military systems the Russian Federation has ever fielded, the Blackout Node serves as a crucial part of the Russian war machine. It is deployed by a General's Power of the same name that can be unlocked by Russian generals at Rank 1.
Lore[]
Complete with satellite blinders, radar jammers and microwave scatter devices, the Blackout Node is one of the latest fruits from the Federation’s labor in anti-intelligence warfare. The Blackout Node sends extremely volatile signals that jam communications and sensors such as infrared and radiowave finders, making the whole area appear as if it was a void of space. These are rumored to have kept the European Continental Army unaware of the build-up of Russian forces along the border, however, some analysts have tried to debunk this assertion.
Behind the scenes[]
- The Blackout Node was originally a Rank 5 GP unlock, but was changed to Rank 3 in 1.85, switching places with Armor Reserves. It is also renamed to Satellite Blackout, as it also allows the Radar Outpost to be upgraded into a Blackout Outpost.
- In 1.86, its name was restored to Blackout Node as the Blackout Outpost upgrade was removed, and is now at Rank 1, switching places with ICBM Clearance (now renamed to Nuclear Warfare).
- The Blackout Node was removed in 1.87, but will return in 2.0.
