A Garrisoned House is a defensive world structure found in all towns and surrounding areas. It comes in various shapes and sizes and can be upgraded.

Construction

New Garrisoned Houses cannot be built but you can rebuild existing ones when they are demolished. They are rebuilt with a Construction Vehicle loaded with 150 Basic Materials. Drive to the house, press F to switch to upgrade mode, aim at the house with RMB and press E, then hit the blueprint by holding LMB until completion.

However the building can only be constructed if the following requirement are met:

  • Your faction controls the Town Base
  • The Town Base has unlocked the Occupied Town IconUpgradesOccupiedTown.png upgrade
  • The garrisoned house is in range of the Town Base or a Safe House with active AI (either through Small Garrison IconUpgradesSmallGarrison.png upgrade or Provisional Garrison IconUpgradesProvisionalGarrison.png upgrade and 10+ player spawns assigned)

Not all houses in town can be rebuilt into a garrisoned house, some are too demolished. You can check if a house can be rebuilt by aiming at it with your hammer in upgrade mode and pressing E.

A garrisoned house must be destroyed and rebuilt to change its faction.

Garrisoned Houses can be devastated by Artillery (except mortar) and by weapons dealing Demolition damage leaving the houses in a ruined state unable to be rebuilt.

A Tier 2 Garrisoned House can be upgraded to Tier 3 for 150 Basic Materials but only if the connected Town Base or Safe House is itself Tier 3 and controlled by your faction.

Defense

Most Garrisoned Houses have a walkable interior where infantry can seek shelter, multiple doorways, opened windows, and all have reinforced windows.

The reinforced windows are firing positions that friendly soldiers can access by going to their particular entry point in the house interior (marked with a large "X") and pressing Q. The materials covering the reinforced windows represent a Garrisoned House's tier: Cloth for Tier 1, Wood for Tier 2, Metal for Tier 3.

House tier represented by reinforcement type (cloth, wood, planks, iron case) on the AI windows.

All tiers are immune to small arms fire, but only the Tier 3 is very resistant to explosives (except Demolition damage).

Garrison

When a Garrisoned House is Garrisoned, the reinforced windows can fire at enemy infantry and vehicles within 25 meters. They fire weak rifle bullets, however they shoot 20mm at vehicles if the Garrisoned House is upgraded to Tier 3. Active garrison is visually represented by faction-colored fabric appearing under the windows. The garrison cannot be suppressed. The AI cannot shoot at enemy infantry that manage to get inside the house. The AI does not retaliate beyond its range when shot at.

large green/blue cloth under window = active AI , no cloth = no AI

Tips

  • Garrisoned Houses have some of the lowest damage per shot of any AI defense and thus do not slow you when you get hit. Very often, you can run into them before they can kill you allowing you to kill them from inside.
  • The only way to kill a player inside a garrison house's windows is the destruction of the house or by using Gas Grenades.
  • Garrisoned Houses come in three sizes health wise, the medium and large ones have 25% and 50% more health than the small respectively.
  • They protect you from the cold during snow storms even when destroyed.
  • Because it's a world structure the garrisoned house doesn't decay which is a significant advantage over player built defenses.
