Upgrade System

The upgrade system in Outpost 19 gives players real-time control over how they evolve during each match. Spend gold earned passively or by attacking the enemy to enhance resource production, strengthen your bots, reinforce your base, or level up your own firepower. Every decision shapes your playstyle, whether you're going full offense, building a fortress, or playing the long game. But here’s the twist: upgrades reset at the end of every match, so you’ll need to rethink your approach each time. Adapt, upgrade, and dominate one round at a time.

Upgrade, Dominate, Repeat: How the Upgrade System Shapes Your Strategy in Outpost 19

In Outpost 19, every match is a fresh start—and every upgrade is a choice that can turn the tide of battle.

We’re excited to give you a first look at how the upgrade system works and how it empowers players to shape their strategy in real-time. Whether you prefer overwhelming force, calculated defense, or a stealthy economic build-up, upgrades are at the core of how you’ll play and win.

What Can You Upgrade?

The upgrade system in Outpost 19 focuses on both your base and your offensive capabilities:

  • Resource Generators: Boost the output of your iron and electricity generators to supercharge your economy.
  • Bot Factories: Upgrade them to produce stronger combat bots and increase your chances on the battlefield.
  • Player Stats: Increase your own HP or weapon power for a more aggressive, hands-on approach.
  • Defense Tower: Reinforce the main outpost’s tower to withstand waves of enemy attacks and buy yourself more time.

How It Works

Upgrades cost in-game gold, which players earn over time and by attacking enemy positions. You’ll constantly weigh the risk of venturing out for more gold versus staying put to defend and upgrade.

Each upgrade station is clearly displayed within your base, so you’ll always have a quick overview of what’s active and what’s available. No cluttered menus, just tactical choices.

One Game. One Shot.

Here’s the twist: upgrades are per-match only. Once the game ends, everything resets. That means every match is a new opportunity to try something different, and every decision matters.

Will you go all-in on bot production? Fortify your base and wait out the storm? Or sneakily max your economy and unleash chaos late game?

Build Your Play-style

The upgrade system is built for strategic flexibility. There’s no single path to victory. Want to flood the map with bots? Upgrade your factories and hit fast. Prefer a stealth approach? Focus on your own gear and hit the enemy when they least expect it.

We can’t wait to see the different tactics players come up with when Outpost 19 launches.
