“

I will tell you everything I hear! - Listening Outpost leaving the Command Center

”

The Listening Outpost is China's scout vehicle and their primary reconnaissance unit. It can extend a long sight radius and becomes stealthed when it remains stationary at a location. It can also garrison up to two Hackers and Hackers garrisoned inside it automatically hack into the Internet to bring in money.

Lore

“

I think I can hear them... - Listening Outpost

”

The Listening Outpost has changed since its last deployment as part of the Iron Dragon. Found much too useful to remain in its previous role of a late-deployed surveillance unit, Listening Outposts have been recognized as the perfect reconnaissance unit for Chinese commanders to gain the intelligence they need as soon as they deploy to a battle zone. As such, a concerted industrial effort has streamlined the production of the Listening Outpost and allowed them to be assembled quickly and easily, with no stringent support requirements, at Chinese Command Centers. They maintain their watchful communications scanning gear, the effectiveness of which is enhanced when the Outpost parks at a location - a location Outpost drivers are still trained to pick carefully, in combination with on-board systems making them blend into the background when stopped.
