Cortium Storage

Cortium Storage is a passive system certification available to the ANT and the Colossus. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points for the ANT, and Merit for the Colossus.

The Cortium Storage certification permanently increases the capacity of the vehicle's in-built cortium storage cell by the listed amount. Although the vehicles it is available to have varying capacities in their unmodified storage cells, the benefits from Cortium Storage are identical per-level between the two vehicles.

Where applicable, Cortium Storage does not increase the amount of cortium the vehicle is loaded with upon spawn. This is increased instead by the Starting Cortium passive system certification where available.
