C300 Turbo Engine

The C300 Turbo Engine is a utility ability available to the ANT. It is unlocked and upgraded using Certification Points.

While active, the C300 Turbo Engine outputs a large amount of forward thrust via an afterburner, propelling the vehicle forward at high speed and even capable of sending and keeping the vehicle airborne for a brief time. Unlike other afterburners, the C300 is powered with cortium stored in the vehicle rather than by a constantly regenerating fuel tank.

The C300 uses the ANT's Cortium Storage to dictate its fuel tank size. Using the turbo immediately consumes between 166 and 71 cortium before burning 166 to 177 fuel per second, with a minimum of between 166 to 71 cortium required in storage to use the turbo. All mentioned values depend on the rank of the ability.

In simple terms, an ANT with a full storage tank can use the C300 Turbo for anywhere between 48 and 140 seconds, based on the ranks of this ability and of Cortium Storage.

To activate afterburners, press and hold the Afterburner hotkey (⇧ Left Shift by default.)

Effects[]

The following table describes the true effects of each certification rank using values datamined and/or harvested from the Census API . Only changes from the base variant of the certification are noted after rank 1.

True Effects
Rank Effects
1 Cortium capacity dependent on Cortium Storage. Does not naturally regenerate cortium.
Consumes 166 cortium per second. Activation cost of 166 cortium. Minimum cost of 166 cortium.
2 Reduces cortium consumption per second, activation cost, and activation threshold from 166 to 125 cortium.
3 Reduces cortium consumption per second, activation cost, and activation threshold from 125 to 100 cortium.
4 Reduces cortium consumption per second, activation cost, and activation threshold from 100 to 83 cortium.
5 Reduces cortium consumption per second, activation cost, and activation threshold from 83 to 71 cortium.

Notes[]

  • As of the September 8, 2022 Hotfix, all relevant certification descriptions for this item are incorrect. The cortium consumption is stated to be 250/225/200/175/150 cortium, when in actuality the ability consumes 166/125/100/83/71 cortium.
