Overview

  • Available to player characters level 10 and above, Lairs and Hideouts (a.k.a. bases) are obtainable "personal living spaces" for a player's character to dwell.
  • Each base comes with a location-theme: sewer, penthouse, cave, bunker, tech, etc, that can be customized by the player with various objects, props and furniture including Amenities such as bank, broker, R&D Station and others found in-game or in the marketplace. The entrance can be set by the player to be in Gotham City, Metropolis or the House of Legends.
  • Bases are divided into Hideouts, which are smaller, and Lairs, which are larger and grant access to Arena PvP and Legends PvP Lair Battles, unless the layout of the Lair is non-standard. Hideout: Dive, Lair: Deco, and Lair: Gothic are given for free to all players in level 9 missions. Others can be unlocked in-game or bought on the Marketplace.

Marketplace Base Themes

  • Atlantean*
  • Brainiac*
  • House of Legends*
  • Manor*
  • Sunstone Fortress*
  • * These Base Themes cannot be used for PvP Lair Battles, because they do not have the standard base layout.
  • Originally bases were merely available to members. Bases include some vital functionality, thus hideouts were introduced for non-members to have access to those. Since the Lair System is now free for all players, this distinction became superfluous.

Deeds

  • After obtaining a Lair or Hideout theme, the Player must obtain a Deed. A Deed dictates the location of the Lair or Hideout in Gotham City, Metropolis or House of Legends. The locations available depend on the theme selected (e.g. Deco locations are various apartment buildings while Sewer or Bunker are various street/ground-level locations).
  • Price of Deeds depend on the location's proximity with other landmarks and the area's difficulty level.
  • Since game update 110 any player character can have up to 8 bases.

Trivia

  • Previously, Lair System had to be bought in the Marketplace to access most features.
  • In hideouts Mainframe, Generator, Dispenser and Amenity nodes are all located in close proximity, but only 5 Amenities can be placed at the time. In lairs more Amenities can be placed, but their placement nodes as well as the Mainframe's, Generator's and Dispenser's locations are more scattered.
  • Players can possess multiple Lairs and Hideouts and can also relocate an existing Lair/Hideout for a fee.
  • Prior to March 31st, 2015, Lair System access was included in the Home Turf DLC pack. Previous owners of the DLC will retain access including the Gothic and Deco themes.
  • After Barbara Gordon was shot by the Joker in her father's house, the JLA designed and installed specialized security systems for the homes of families and friends of any member who requested it. The security systems included Thanagarian, Martian, Apokoliptian and Kryptonian technology as well as devices personally devised by the Batman.
  • Sherman Fine (aka The Broker) is an underground liaison that provides realty locations for villains to use as lairs and hideouts; his past customers include but are not limited to Catwoman, the Joker, Mister Freeze, The Riddler, the Gotham City Sirens and the Mad Hatter. He sometimes works in partnership with Jenna Duffy (aka The Carpenter), who specializes in outfitting various lairs and hideouts to her client's desires, in addition to operating as a residential repairman.
  • The Titans Tower has rooms for all Teen Titans members and players can visit the rooms of Nightwing, Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire and Cyborg during the Titans Targeted! alert.
