Learn how the powerful Headquarters unit works in Black Desert Online. Understand its strengths, weaknesses, and how it fares against other units with our expert guide.
Alright, let's talk about the Headquarters unit in Black Desert Online. Think of it like the king and queen in chess – super strong, but if it goes down, you lose the game. It's basically a bunch of jeeps, but don't let that fool you; this thing packs a serious punch and, good news, it doesn't use any fuel!
To give you a clearer picture of how it stacks up, here's a breakdown of unit matchups. I've measured these strengths by attacking from neutral desert terrain with full-strength units, so remember that things might play out a bit differently if the terrain is modified or if your units are damaged. These are average ratings, and sometimes you'll see surprising results – like a bomber taking out more infantry than expected, or vice versa. It happens!
