== Introduction ==
The '''Arms Lab''' is the [[Frontiersmen]] upgrade research structure created by the [[Marine Commander]]. [[Marine]]s or [[MAC]]s are required to assemble the unbuilt structure and [[Power Nodes]] nearby. 

When powered, it can be used to research weapon and armor upgrades for [[Marine]]s and [[Exosuit|Exosuits]]. If the Arms Lab gets destroyed while an upgrade is researching, the research gets aborted and the research costs are lost.

====Recycle====

[[Image:recycle thumb.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Recycling a structure]]

'''Recycle''' enables the Marine Commander to return a portion of Team Resources by recycling a structure. The recycling process lasts a short duration, after which a maximum of 75% Team Resources used to create the structure is refunded. However, the amount of Team Resources refunded depends on the remaining health of the structure on recycle completion. The higher the structure's health, the more resources are refunded.

'''Note:''' You can't recycle the Arms Lab while researching an upgrade. Instead, you have to cancel the research first, then you can recycle the structure.
