Urban or reduced LOS maps?

[Larsenex]

Greetings,

I did picked up the Urban DLC and I am running an new Mercenary career mode.

Will we see Urban or city maps in any game (official campaign or career mode)?

In career Urban maps will pop up in missions just like any other map
I am not sure if they show up in very low difficulty missions
Maybe just 2 Skull or higher?
Also only on planets with large urban centers - not going to see one on a desert planet
You can check the navigation map and use filters to find Urban systems if you want

They will also show up in random Campaign missions - again only in systems with urban centers

There is a biome filter on the starmap that will help you find urban maps. Look for the megacity or urban tag. The Prototype flashpoint also heavily uses the urban maps. I am sure some of the other new ones do as well, but don't know which ones off hand.

The “Tournament of Champions” FLASHPOINT also makes good use of the Urban Biome. :bow:

Siege breaker and, I believe, hearts and minds also utilize urban maps. Also siege breaker has a fun attack and defend mission.

As noted, several of the flashpoints (which show up in career mode, and in campaign mode after you've beaten the main campaign) will have urban biomes. You can also see them in random missions (the generic contracts that show up on any planet; as noted, urban or megacity planets have a higher chance of spawning them, but you can see in the contract screen which biome each contract will be in).

None of the campaign story missions will be set in urban biomes (even the ones that nominally take place in major cities), because they were handcrafted before the DLC was created.

The same is true, by the way, of the jungle biome introduced in Flashpoint.
