Ground Weapons

From The StarCraft 2 Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Ground Weapons is an upgrade that is available for the Protoss that enhances the damage output of all ground walking units that are built from the Gateway and Robotics Facility. It is researched from the Forge and, like all weapon and armor upgrades, it has a research time that is noticeably longer than the units build duration.

The research time for each weapon upgrade has been reduced considerably since StarCraft I.
