Resources | Character and character development PlanetSide 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The last, but not the least, are the resources, i.e. more numbers whose high levels allow you to go crazy in the game. What is the matter? Now, each region in the game generates a certain number of resources in one of three categories, i.e. infantry, vehicles and aircraft. Every few minutes, all of the players in a given faction receive as many points, of a given category, as the territories, owned by that faction, are capable of generating. For example, if you have 2 regions that supply 20 resources of infantry, every now and then you receive 40 points. If you have 3 regions - one of them generates 10, the second 20 and the third 40, then you receive 70 points. Easy. As the names of the categories, mentioned above, suggest, each one is corresponds for the points connected with infantry, vehicles and aircraft. But, what do you use them for exactly? With the resources corresponding to infantry, you can replenish your arms, e.g. grenades, mines or first-aid kits (as long as you have earlier bought them with the Cert Points) The thing is a bit different in the case of vehicles and aircraft. In PlanetSide 2 there is a system where, in appropriate panels, you buy the machines that you want, and you pay for them with these resources. You can have 750 of each type, at most. The more territories your faction has, the faster the process of replenishing of these points is, thanks to which you can use vehicles more often. Accordingly, if you have 100 of aircraft resources, and there is a model that is worth 350, you will have to wait until you gain more points. To prevent the mass use of these machines, the developers have implemented a small trick. After you buy a given machine once, this initiates a clock that measures the time until this same machine is available for you again. The length of the time depends on how good a certain machine is. It is the longer the better the machine that you have selected. It is worth noting here that, while fighting (or staying, in general) at a territory, you receive a bit more resources from that region, with each full cycle. And so, if you are staying in some region for 2 cycles, you receive more points in the two batches.
