In this guide, we’ll explore how you can get your hands on some Tesla Coils in Abiotic Factor and how you can use them.

Your base is your stronghold in Abiotic Factor. It is where you keep all your excess resources and other valuables that you don’t want to lug around all the time. That is why you would never want any harm to befall your base. But enemy attacks on bases are rampant in the game, and without proper precautions in place, you might lose all of your collected items. Since there aren’t any fixed timings or schedules for these attacks, any time you’re away from base might be risky.
So, you’ll need to assign proper defensive measures all around your base. Amongst these, the Tesla Coil truly stands out as one of the most effective and dangerous. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can get Tesla Coils in Abiotic Factor and how you can employ them properly.

How To Setup Tesla Coils in Abiotic Factor
Tesla Coils attack indiscriminately when you place them somewhere. So, if you get close enough, the machine will zap you and your friends with electricity too. You can avoid this by equipping the Glow Shard Trinket. You can find it from one of the corpses in Cascade Laboratories. Or, you can make sure to hook up the Tesla Coil with a lever that turns it off or on. Besides that, you need to provide a power source for this defensive system to work. This source can be either batteries or a power outlet.
Next, decide on the placement and positioning of the Tesla Coil. We suggest placing it near to the most attacked parts of your base, which is the crafting bench. If your crafting bench is inside a room, the Tesla Coil should be just outside this room to prevent enemy infiltration. Once you have the positioning finalized, connect the Tesla Coil to a power source and the lever. Next, test out whether the lever functions as intended. And, that’s all. Now you have one of the most effective defensive systems guarding your most precious portions in the base.
