Respawn Tube

A Respawn tube, also known as a Spawn Tube, is where a soldier appears after respawning from death, after "deconstructing" at another tube (see below), or using Instant Action or Recall.

Respawn tubes are found in base facilities and towers, as well as the Spawn/VR buildings in Sanctuary. AMSes do not have respawn tubes, but spawn soldiers randomly within the cloak bubble. Cavern facilities (See: Core Combat) do not have respawn tubes either, but a respawn "area" in the center of the respawn room.

Respawn tubes can be destroyed, and the destruction of the tubes is one of the most basic strategies in taking over a facility.

Deconstructing

By entering a respawn tube a soldier can "deconstruct" and respawn at another spawn point.
