❓ Frequently asked questions
How do you unlock Heavy Gustav in World Conqueror 4?

What are Heavy Gustav's maximum stats at level 12?
At level 12, Heavy Gustav peaks at 138 attack, 42 defense, 690 HP, 8 movement and range 3. Saturation-artillery profile — long range and attack that outclass stock batteries.
Which milestone perks does Heavy Gustav unlock?
Milestone tiers: level 5 "Giant artillery", level 12 "Track construction". These are the most impactful levels to reach — they unlock passive effects or active abilities that reshape the unit's tactical profile. Steer your progression to hit them first.
How expensive is fully upgrading Heavy Gustav to level 12?
Cumulative cost levels 1 → 12 for Heavy Gustav: ~268k industry, ~268k energy, 780 elite items, 60 badges. The main bottleneck is industry and elite items — hit the milestone levels 5, 9 and 12 first rather than evenly smoothing intermediate upgrades.
