Learn about terrain features in Black Desert Online, including Oases for attack power, Bunkers for defense, and Towns for resupply and strength.
Oasis (palm tree): When attacking from an oasis, your attack power is increased. Parking artillery on an oasis is highly effective.
Bunker (brick wall): Increases defensive power. It is generally recommended to place your HQ (Headquarters) unit on a bunker to withstand prolonged attacks.
Town (white building): Towns serve multiple purposes. They restock ammo and fuel, and add five to your unit's strength, up to the full 10. Battling from a town displays the bunker graphic, and it is believed you receive a similar defensive bonus when on a town. A tactical advantage of towns is that you can move to a town and attack enemies adjacent to it. If your unit survives the attack, it will resupply as normal and replenish any losses. If you are already on the town, you must move off and then back onto it to trigger this resupply effect.
Airport: Airports function similarly to towns but are specifically for aircraft. An airport can accommodate two planes at a time.
- Prioritize placing your HQ unit on a Bunker for maximum defense.
- Use Oases strategically for artillery units to maximize attack power.
- Exploit the resupply trick at Towns by moving onto and off the location after attacking adjacent enemies.
- Airports are crucial for maintaining air superiority by allowing quick refueling and rearming of two planes.
