Tiberium Spike

The Tiberium Spike.


Tiberium Spikes are found in the battlefields. (See the photo on the right hand side). They provide a burst of money and a steady stream of income every few seconds afterwards.

Since more money is never a bad thing, capturing Tiberium Spikes early in the game will help you get free rewards from them.

Keeping in mind a $500 Engineer or Saboteur is required to obtain a Tiberium Spike, ensure that you're able to hold the Tiberium Spike long enough for you to recover your $250; otherwise, it's a losing proposition.

To help the Engineer or Saboteur capturing, it is best to take along another infantry unit for protection. Sometimes if there is no other source of money around and you are limited to a set number of Tiberium Spikes, it is best to capture as many Tiberium Spikes as possible.
