Where is "Shadow Shard" located in CoH, and where is there a black helocopter in CoH?

I'd like to get the Dimensional explorer and Grounded day job badges for my many toons.

TY in advance.

Shadow Shard is reached via Perigrine Island Portal Corp building at the end that has the barbed wire around the door. Enter and take the elevator then turn to your right and jump in the portal.

Black Helicopters are on villain side in numerous places.

The Shadow Shard is a set of four zones can be accessed through Peregrine Island. There will be a portal to the first one, Firebase Zulu, inside one of the Portal Corp. buildings. It should be marked on your map.

There aren't and Black Arachnos Helicopters in Paragon City, but the heroside equivalent to the Pilot badge is the Commuter badge, which you can get by logging out at train stations.

They are two completely different badges. If someone is collecting badges (which the OP seems to be doing), they would want BOTH. Note: When someone of Hero or Vigilante alignment has the Pilot badge, the name changes to 'Grounded'. You can get progress on the badge while being a Vigilante (by logging off next to the helicopters) but, in order for the badge to AWARD once you have a full progress bar, you must be either Villain or Rogue.

Ty for info re: "dimensional explorer" badge. Six of my lvl 50's are going to park there to get that badge.

Vidiotmaps.com shows a Hero badge called "grounded" for logging near black helicopters, as well as the "pilot" badge for both heroes & villains -- I assumed that "pilot" was for vigilante heroes that can move between hero & villain sides and log out on the villain side.

In my 5+ years playing CoH I can't remember ever seeing a black helicopter on the hero side, that's why the question.

Thanks again.

Whenever a character is a Hero or Vigilante they have the blueside names for badges regardless of where they are.
Whenever a character is a Villain or Rogue they have the redside names for badges regardless of where they are.

Could be that Vidiotmaps.com was just a little vague about which badge names it was using for which map.
It's easy to forget the dual names in different contexts.

Where a badge exists for both blue & red, the badge changes factions with you. Once you earn a badge, even a gladiator, you do not lose it. Look at "Part 4: Alignment changes" for these changes.

As to the gladiators that award for the 10 level progression (10, 20, 30) badges and the 60 minute CoV mezzed badge you will get the gladiators if you qualify when you switch over. In other words if you are over level 30 and switch sides you get the level 10, 20, and 30 gladiators.

With some badges you have to switch fully to the other side to get them.
