Wings of LibertyEdit

Ultra Capacitors Campaign Wings of Liberty Cost 5 protoss research points Researched at Hyperion laboratory Notes Attack upgrades at the armory and engineering bay improved cooldown by 5% per level. Self-replicating ultra capacitors reduce the reload time of weapons and systems.[2] Edit

Vanadium Plating Campaign Wings of Liberty Cost 5 protoss research points Researched at Hyperion laboratory Notes Armor upgrades at the armory and engineering bay increase health by 5% per level. Vanadium better disperses weapon impacts than standard armor.[2] Edit

Fire Suppression System Campaign Wings of Liberty Cost $90,000 Researched at Hyperion armory Notes All structures repair themselves to 50% life. All structure fires are automatically put out. This all-in-one safety system automatically dispatches robotic drones to put out any fires and perform basic repairs on damaged structures. Although these drones are effective at doing basic repairs, they do not have a strong enough AI to perform the more delicate repairs needed to restore a structure past 50% structural integrity.[3] Edit

DevelopmentEdit

During development of StarCraft II, it was not known at first what tech buildings would be used to upgrade the terran arsenal. For the sake of having placeholder artwork, a task was given to update the armory so the building could be used in the meantime while artists waited for a design decision. The update was a simple translation of the sprite artwork of the original game to 3D. The armory was never challenged, and after the art was complete it made it all the way into the final release of the game.^[4]

Heart of the SwarmEdit

The armory will have only one armor upgrade for ground and air units.^[5]
