Area 52

Area 52 is a large base located roughly in-between Visitor Island and Pirate Cove. It serves as a raid location and as one of the 4 airstrips in the game, which is situated on top of the island. It also has a large dock area, though there are no ship or plane spawners to be found. 
==Areas==
===Main Facility===
Through the passage to the left of the dock is the server room, the focal point of the Area 52 raid. To right of the dock is a stairwell which leads up to the airfield, and straight ahead of the dock is a cargo storage room, with a reinforced door that leads outside. The rooms on the ground floor of the base are connected by cramped air ducts that players can enter to move undetected. The 3 entrances to the air ducts are located close to the ceiling in the armory (a room that branches off of the server room), the storage space (the place with cargo containers, reaching the entrance requires jumping from one container to another) and the room in-between the reinforced door and the dock.
===Lighthouse===
Area 52 features a lighthouse, similar to the one at the SEA Military base. This lighthouse is only accessible via a bridge from the airfield. Inside the lighthouse there is a ladder to reach the top. Outside of the lighthouse, on the platform is a 20mm L70X anti-aircraft mount.
===Airfield===
The airfield at Area 52 is often forgotten, due to the lack of a plane spawner and the fact that there is no option to use "Repair" button to automatically repair planes. Despite these shortcomings the airfield proves useful as an emergency landing strip for planes that have compromised engines, providing a place to land, repair manually (with the repair tool) and get back in the fight. Despite not being able to automatically repair planes, the airstrip allows players to rearm which is useful for restocking bombs or torpedoes without flying all the way back to the main base. 
==Raid==
During the raid, Pirates are tasked with planting a bomb, in the form of 6 C-4 packages, on the server room wall. SEA Military is tasked with defending the server room and defusing the bomb in the event that it is planted. When the bomb is planted an alarm will sound and red alarm lights will activate, stopping either when the bomb is explodes or when the bomb explodes. If the bomb detonates it will collapse the passage to the left of the dock, and block all access to the server room, including vents. Victory in the raid will award 3000 cash. Pirates and SEA commonly use transport planes to reach Area 52 for the raid, due to their speed and low cost.
==Notes & Trivia==
*During the raid, both SEA Military and Pirates are given the option to spawn their ships closer to the event, as with other raids
*The name "Area 52" is likely a reference to the infamous "Area 51"
