Infantry Portals bring dead marines back. Each portal spawns one marine at a time, taking 9 s per marine, so a team that loses a big fight with only one portal comes back slowly.
- Must be built within range of a Command Station (10 m), up to 3 per station.
- Needs room power. A portal in an unpowered room does nothing.
- Rounds with 9 or more players start with two portals.
Tips for commanders#
- A second portal is the most common early-game build after the first Extractor and Armory.
- Portals are the aliens' favourite target in a base rush. Keep at least one marine near them, or a Sentry.
