Electro orb charger plug?

[Malthael_ZA]

I keep finding these towers that have a "plug" in front of them, there's a note that says you need to put orb on the plate to power the connected object. But what object do i connect it to? Found the orb, know where to put the orb. But what do i attach the plug to?

Could you please tell me what to do with the orb?

I think you gotta toss the orb into the top of the machine, it looks like a basket. As for What you plug it into I don't know, someone said you can plug it into your base for power. I guess the further you throw the orb into the machine the more power it provides, but you can only do it once. If you miss, it doesn't power the machine.

pure conjecture and just what I've been able to pull from various threads on the forums.

This Actually makes sense. I'll try that next time

There is a large cylinder next to the door, the plug is connected to it with a cable, put the orb on top. The orb gets more power the further it travels so I'm guessing try and yeet it from the top of the building?

the "hammer" ball to activate then the other ball to send more energy.
Link the cable to the core tower then throw the other ball from afar (the longer the more energy) into the top of the charger

I must be stupid but for the life of me I wasn't able to put it in there, it would either fly away somewhere else or just never stay at the center.

I've gotten it to work a few times. You can use it as Power Bank to open a Terminal or chest that requires one. Lacking those, you can charge your Outpost Power with it.
The amount of power the Orb provides is based on the distance the Orb itself travels before it 'sinks' into the basket at the top of the charger. I've gotten as much as 15 by jumping away from the tower and right clicking the ball into the basket.


Also, the red orbs are used as "Free Throw Basket Ball" minigame in an Envoy-looking POI that opens 2 Comm Station Terminals (The free/Power-cost 'incident buff' things) and at 25 points+ or so, it opens a nearby 'Cabinet' with a few rare spawns.
If the Free Throw game isn't there, it might power the Shockwave at the Outpost but I've not had to use it so idk.
