Listening Post
By placing a Listening Post on a Strategic Point or Relic, the Imperial Guard can prevent the point from being immediately decapped and receive a bonus to the Requisition provided by the point. Upgrades can arm the Listening Post and further improve its Requisition rate.
Tactics
Although the cheap LP2 upgrade is almost always worth getting, never get the second upgrade for the Imperial Guard Listening Post. Neither the weapon nor the health of the Listening Post is improved with the addon so the only reason to upgrade is for the improved requisition, but it would take nearly 7 minutes to get a return on the requisition investment needed to build the LP3 add-on from the added 6 requisition every 10 seconds that it generates. This is shortened to around 5:45 with Escalate Engagement researched, and around 4:40 with Ordo Exterminatus researched as well, still both very long times to finally start seeing a return on an investment that would probably be better spent elsewhere.

Effects | The Listening Post has 1 slot to bunker a unit inside. This unit mans the mounted guns and can quickly transfer to any other building with bunker slots. Because Ogryns require two bunker slots they cannot enter or use tunnels to transfer to a Listening Post. Transportation between buildings takes 5 seconds, no matter the distance or squad type/size. | |||

Weapons
The Listening Post weapons must be manned by Imperial Guard squads bunkered inside the building. Commissars, Psykers, Priests, and the Vindicare Assassin cannot man guns although they still take up a bunker position. Ogryns cannot fit inside a Listening Post as they require two bunker slots.
The Lasguns are mounted on all four sides of the building and can fire at their own targets without reducing the damage dealt by any other gun. This allows the Listening Post to target and attack at full damage four different targets when completely surrounded.
