Where is the cortium!?

[Dick Master 3000]

I mean, im new to this update, but not to the game. So where is the cortuim and how do I harvest it. (how to harvest with the ant?)

It works similarly to the golden snowman/pumpkin from the events, there has set spawn points and it just spawns randomly in some of them. Until you memorize the spots or if you don't like driving between cortium spaws hoping it will be there you should unlock the cortium radar

To harvest it just drive next to it and left-click (you should do it in first person view so you know when your ANT is full), same to dump it into a silo, just drive next to it and left-click.

Where are the spots and how do i know if they are cortuim?

They are all over the map, they look like glowy orange spires, you can't miss them.

Also if you have the cortium radar they'll get a hud marker.

Ok thanks...

To ease your search you can try out the cortium radar for the ANT as well. Maxed out it finds the crystals from up to 600m away.

Look for big purple and orange sparking spires outside of red base radius. Even better get a cortium radar for your ANT. Smaller spires give roughly 30% of a load, while the larger ones take many trips. Best to do when you have plenty of friendlies about.

The closer the HIVE is to an enemy warpgate, the more efficient it is.

I suppose that someone will put a map with all known cortium locations on reddit soon.

As has been said, the radar makes things a lot easier.

Also, Ants have Passive Skills which you can cert out to increase how much Cortium you can carry.

i think it's funny that the point was supposed to be to get some fights moved away from bases and use the rest of the map, but all the cortium i've seen is sitting right next to bases and everyone constructs stuff to support bases, not out in the rest of the map.

You need to be close enough to a base to spawn ANTs and Sundies unless you want your base to just be destroyed by atrition
