Ebbtide Arsenal: Every Unit, Aircraft and Structure Named So Far

A complete list of what has been named publicly, with a source for each item and a blank where every stat should be.

Last updated: 22 Oct 2026

This is the full set of hardware ProjectAlive has named publicly, gathered from two places that do not fully overlap: the Steam store page description and the official YouTube devlog series. Where a video shows something the store page never mentions, it is marked separately — those are the entries you will not find in other coverage.

38 named assets across ground units, aircraft, fire support and base structures. Zero published stats.

Ground: tanks, Bradley, LAV, Humvee
Air: Apache, Viper, Black Hawk, AH-6M Little Bird
Fire support: M777, HIMARS, destroyer guns, Tomahawk
Strike: F/A-18, F-15E, F-35B, A-10, AC-130J, MQ-9

Doesn't apply when: Names only. Range, damage, cost, build time and carry capacity are all unpublished, so every stat column below is intentionally empty.

How to read the source column

Tag	Meaning
Store page	Named in the Steam page's own description text
Devlog	Shown or named in an official ProjectAlive YouTube video, not in the store text
Both	Appears in both

Source: Store page text and the official YouTube channel @EbbtideGame, both checked 22 October 2026. checked 2026-10-22.

Infantry and manpower

Asset	Role	Source
National Guard units	Hold, delay or withdraw	Store page
LAPD units	Hold, delay or withdraw	Store page
LA County Sheriff units	Hold, delay or withdraw	Store page
Marines (Camp Pendleton)	Call-in reinforcement	Store page

Note that these are described as sources of units rather than discrete unit types. The store page does not break them into squads, weapons or costs.

Unknown· Infantry squad sizes, weapon types, costs and stats are not published. The store page names the organisations, not the units inside them.

Ground vehicles

Vehicle	Type	Source
Tank	Main battle tank	Store page
Bradley	Infantry fighting vehicle	Store page
LAV	Light armoured vehicle	Store page
Humvee	Light utility vehicle	Store page

The store page lists these in a single clause with no model designations — "tanks, Bradleys, LAVs, Humvees". It does not specify which tank.

Helicopters

Aircraft	Role	Source
Apache	Attack helicopter	Store page
Viper	Attack helicopter	Store page
Black Hawk	Transport — fast-rope and rooftop landing	Store page
AH-6M Little Bird	Light attack, flight deck takeoffs	Devlog only

The AH-6M Little Bird is the entry that other coverage misses. It is not mentioned anywhere in the store page text, but ProjectAlive published a dedicated devlog titled "AH-6M Little Bird & Flight Deck Takeoffs". That is a first-party source, and it is the only public confirmation the Little Bird exists in the game.

Confirmed· Video title: "AH-6M Little Bird & Flight Deck Takeoffs | Ebbtide", official channel @EbbtideGame. Retrieved 22 October 2026.

Two helicopter behaviours are confirmed in the store text and worth separating from the vehicle list:

Fast-rope deployment from Black Hawks
Rooftop landing to deploy squads
Zombies can cling to helicopters hovering close to the ground

That last line is a constraint on how you can use every helicopter you own.

Artillery and naval fire

Asset	Category	Source
M777	155mm towed howitzer	Store page
HIMARS	Rocket artillery	Store page
Destroyer guns	Naval gunfire	Store page
Tomahawk	Cruise missile	Store page

Confirmed· Store page constraint: "Ship magazines are finite, and heavy weapons bring buildings down."

That single sentence is the most consequential line in this whole reference. It means fire support is a depleting, self-damaging resource — you cannot spam it, and using it near your own positions destroys the cover you are defending.

Fixed-wing strike

Aircraft	Role	Source
F/A-18	Carrier-based multirole	Store page
F-15E	Strike fighter	Store page
F-35B	STOVL strike fighter	Store page
A-10	Close air support	Store page

All four are described as strike options callable from the map or the battlefield. No sortie counts, cooldowns or payload details are given.

Persistent air platforms

Platform	Role	Source
AC-130J	Gunship	Store page
MQ-9	Drone orbit	Store page

These are listed separately from the strike aircraft, which suggests they loiter rather than make single passes. That is an inference from the wording "gunship and MQ-9 drone orbits" — not a confirmed mechanic.

Unverified· That AC-130J and MQ-9 persist on station is inferred from the word "orbits" in the store description. ProjectAlive has not described how long they stay or what they cost.

Base structures

Structure	Function	Source
HESCO walls	Primary fortification	Store page
Concrete walls	Heavier fortification	Store page
Gates	Access control in walls	Store page
Scaffolding	Wall defence platform	Store page
Gun nests	Static defence	Store page
CIWS	Close-in weapon system	Store page
Mortar pits	Indirect fire defence	Store page
Ammo depot	Ammunition resupply	Store page
Fuel point	Fuel resupply	Store page
Lighting	Base illumination	Store page

Two of these deserve emphasis because they interact with the supply system rather than the combat system: ammo depot and fuel point are the only stated places units can rearm and refuel. Ammunition and fuel "can only be replenished at bases you hold".

That makes the ammo depot and fuel point the highest-value targets on any map you build, and it makes their destruction — or the loss of the base containing them — a strategic defeat rather than a tactical one.

Unknown· Structure costs, build times, hit points and whether destroyed structures can be rebuilt are all unpublished.

What this list cannot tell you

We want to be explicit, because an arsenal page with no numbers looks incomplete — and it is, unavoidably.

Missing	Consequence
Damage values	No way to compare units
Range and cooldown	No way to plan engagements
Resource costs	No way to plan build orders
Population or supply caps	No way to plan army size
Unlock conditions	No way to plan progression
Whether all of this ships in v1.0	No way to know what is cut

Every one of these is genuinely unpublished. We checked the store page, the appdetails API and the news feed. When ProjectAlive publishes them — most likely through patch notes or an in-game tooltip after release — this page gets a data table instead of a caveat.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are in Ebbtide?

Not published. This page lists 38 named assets across infantry sources, ground vehicles, helicopters, artillery, naval fire, fixed-wing aircraft and base structures — but that is what has been named publicly, not a total count.

Is there an AH-6M Little Bird in Ebbtide?

Yes. It is not in the store page text, but ProjectAlive published a devlog specifically covering the AH-6M Little Bird and flight deck takeoffs.

Can you call in airstrikes in Ebbtide?

Yes. Named strike options include carrier F/A-18s, F-15E, F-35B and A-10, plus AC-130J gunship and MQ-9 drone support. Ship magazines are finite and heavy weapons destroy buildings.

What is CIWS in Ebbtide?

CIWS is a close-in weapon system — a rapid-fire point-defence mount, in reality used against incoming missiles. In Ebbtide it is listed as a base structure alongside gun nests and mortar pits. Its in-game stats are unpublished.

Can you rebuild destroyed structures?

Unknown. The store page does not say whether destroyed walls and buildings can be repaired or rebuilt. Given that heavy weapons "bring buildings down", this is a significant unresolved question.
