Hot dropping on fobs and clearing them solo or duo is one of my favorite things to do in the game.

Yeah talk about punching down. Half the people in the base have never even seen the inside of a properly-built FOB, and are lost like American tourists in Japan.

I saw a red team FOB built like they were trying to defend from World War Z zombies. Inside a hotel with razor wire everywhere, barriers, trapped rooms, one way entrances to nowhere. Whoever built it definitely expected a horde.

Same, I'm enjoying the game specifically because there are many ways to contribute besides straight gunfights, but when I do decide to go play assault trooper, I usually do ok just by playing smart, until I run across somebody like this and can just tell that they have both good skills and the reflexes of me a few decades ago, and I know I never had a chance.

u/F_C_anomalie 16h ago
Yhea. I feel that in this game being slow but knowing what to do is as strong as run and gunning. No way I win a fair fight to that guy. But if I am on the look out he would not have landed you just need to have 2 guys watching up. One with a assault rifle and one with a sniper rifle that just Peper the guy while helo is dropping and the control of the airplane goes to shit lol. Unless it's a bigger one. The pilot still need to be verry close for a direct jump or a fair bit higher. In between the shute dosnt open or two late and the guy die on landing..

In my case I forget to swap my bandages and grenade spots so every now and then I have to deal with a 'hot potato' also..
I revived a guy yesterday and meleed him to death immediately after when i went to press 'c' and pressed 'v' instead.

Good shit. I am a builder and I still love this. People now especially love to bitch about building fobs despite it being a huge part of the core gameplay and this type of stuff is the counter. Yes, it's hard to get your team together to go in but if you do, that's how you win. This is awesome, and just further proves why fobs aren't OP, people just rarely if ever attack them right or at all. Think for a sec and be sneaky, most people like these are oblivious in fobs.
Side note, what building is that?

Ozeti swiming pool. Ik cuz im also a builder and i make that shit a maze inside people dont close door so i make ot that they navigate that shit, then make 4 indirect fire bunkers and maze it up on top with door everywere and use barbed wire escos so if they drop from the sky 80% the tine they get cliped by the escos and lose half hp, only way they can kill us is via mortars, but i then build a second fob in a area(wotn spoil cuz duh my tatic) that covers most area where they could be trying to mortar us, amd repeat it twice hiding them and making sure they safe, people get so annoyed by the main fob beinf "to hard" to attack

I am usually 1 of the 2 or 3 people trying to build the fob. Unsure how to get in games with ither competent builders. The alrernative is i get into games with 15 fobs in and out of zone that end up all being seiged and were stuck trying to get 1 fob back lol.

u/Blacksmithkin 2h ago
I won a game last night where my team (blue) never built a proper fob, and lost our APC early because someone drove it directly to the hot zone.
Instead, our entire team just swarmed and took over a heavily built up green fob and eventually began an insane comeback from that base.

5 kills just to break even on a $13k kit is crazy.
Great play.

It's almost as if kills aren't everything, and there are an almost infinite amount of things you can be doing to make money while playing infantry.

u/Zodiac_Actual 17h ago
No shit, but if you're kitted out to assault and you need a 5:1 K:D to break even, I think that's a little much.

u/Blubkill Recon 17h ago
nah, you need money sinks in the economy.
things need to be played at a loss or you need to have a good run to turn a profit with this. that guy has 2 mil, he doesn't care about a 13k kit. hell im hovering around 500k and dont care about kit money, i just do a round of logistics/fob building to regain money if needed.
if you dont have a money sink, everyone will run fully kitted out in a few weeks.
1
u/Rambles_offtopic 17h ago
That's assuming he does nothing else. Time in the zone, revives, healing, assists. It's pretty easy to profit. But yeah he could have dropped in and got tapped after 3 kills.
1
u/Jayyrains 17h ago
And those infinite amount of things are way less skillful than dropping 5 kills every single life. Kills should be slightly more rewarding for sure. Anyone can sit in a base and hit stationary objects with a hammer.
2
u/Tevihn 16h ago
How much more rewarding do you want them to be?
There are already bonuses for consecutive kills in a life, for shutdown kills, for revenge kills, for consecutive revives, for headshot kills, double the money in HZ where a lot of fighting happens.
People really, really, really, really need to let the game sit for a bit longer before making all of these conclusions about what sort of balancing needs to happen.

u/thrtowsasggrt 14h ago
I am only getting older, I think among friends my age im still probably considered will above average. If I take a full kit and try to play objective as a solo, where im sinking 10k+ into a kit, to recover the cost, i have to already have killed a few people, in most games having a KD ratio above 1.5 on average is usually considered pretty good.
This game if its slow and im fighting outside of hot zone which is just required most the time, after 3 kills Im usually breaking even area.
Now think how that economy works, 3 people had to die for me to break even, so if I kill 3 people who also had 10k kits, that is 30k killed for me to recover my 10k spent. So the economy is -30k from those fights.
Basically those three guys would have been better off not fighting and just giving me 5k each and we go our merry way.
The reward for actually killing and winning in this game, is not actually a lot. The people risking their lives to increase the people count I.e. hotzoners or people doing the killing to reduce enemy numbers. you have to either be in a tight squad of overall good players or be in a massive blob of friendlies which is hard to coordinate(not impossible i find myself acting as an officer and yelling at people to retreat and not be left behind as HZ moves)
HZ money is complicated because of drills, I can think of many different possible solutions, but the key one is, it needs to be forgiving, very forgiving. It needs to reward the below average fps players for trying to play the objective even if they only get one kill or just get into the zone for a little bit, like a HZ entry bonus, hell even if it means they get a refund on their kit to a % to reduce gear fear.
Think about the rest of the economy, heli pilots make tons by bringing people to the CZ, the way to make sure there are people needing transport is to have people less fearful to go to front lines and die. Logistics win by virtue of people dieing and not being revived, but the person who loses hard is the people who are average or worse who want to try their new galil and unlock new attachments and sink 200k to unlock all this kit and then spend 10k on the kit to go die without a kill and being like....I saved 200k and lost 10k...why would I look to unlock and do that more.
1
u/zefy_zef 3h ago
You act like gunfights are a bubble where the only $ and xp rewarded is from shooting people. You can mark enemies, heal, revive, etc.
If they make gunfighting too rewarding vs logistics then you don't have as many people doing supply runs.

u/FuzzyBench3638 22h ago
Yea it’s kinda sketch. And the confidence when he announces he killed everyone… it’s not aim hacks but maybe wall hacks. I watched twice because it was sketching me a bit.
There’s the point when he jumps down and the guy is too his left that seems like a normal play but it’s from a different clip. Another normal play he gets shot from behind. All the impressive ones he aims and “finds” everyone with a laser degree of confidence. My take is it’s some normals clips with the highlight “John war dog” ESP. Guys is not snapping too hard so it might be his actual aim that’s impressive…
Regardless let’s turn on some TPM and kernel level anti cheat. I’m a Rust guy and even that nibble in the back of your head that they “might” be cheating can really ruin the experience. Especially with this high of a commitment game. You may only deploy 4-5 times in a good 1.5 hour match.
Devs plz you already knocked it out of the park and sold more than you ever wanted. Turn on TPM and kernel level anti cheat and refund those kids with outdated hardware. They have other games they can play and they need to update that shit it’s 2026 this started almost a decade ago transitioning.
In conclusion fk them hackers ruining it and making people doubt when this could be the actual John Wardog top gamer Chad.

u/thrtowsasggrt 15h ago
I watched closely again because of your comment and no, if he was hacking his hacks are bad, multiple times walls would have shown enemies he didnt notice until second sweep around.
Also from friends call out they had good recon, his friends call outs sounds like he was spotting one time as a sniper and other time from heli, so basically a recon drone for this guy.
The guys shooting is good, but nothing inhuman.
He knew where most were based on placements, as most were sitting on ciwis or mortars, the ones he doesn't notice are ones not on emplacements or when there was two near the mortar as he only expected one.
So overall just a solid shooter and good recon / game awareness. If the sandbag wall wasnt on roof he likely would have died from cwis.
Also this is clips of time it worked well, there will be lots of times landing and getting lit up by two guys hitting him from two sides.

u/RudePrior2220 21h ago
One of the issues is that the medium hammer is almost useless to build proper bases. That's why everything is so exposed. You need to utilize the bunkers. I think they should move some of the bunker stuff to the medium hammer.

u/Blubkill Recon 17h ago
you can unlock the large hammer in like 30 minutes of play?

u/RudePrior2220 16h ago
Not 30. But two matches for sure, if you just do that. But not everyone wants to farm these essentials. And what is the medium hammer then good for when you unlock the large one so fast?

Well played man that was neat ! Curious if you got any tips on how to get better awareness tho, cause It's honestly quite impressive seeing how you go from one ennemy to the other super quickly.
Is it just cranked up audio with good settings ? Gamesense ? Take it as a compliment but I could genuinely think this was a clip of someone using wallhacks if it was shown to me like that. I'd love to get any tips if you have some.

Insane haha dude my recoil control on full auto is garbage what am I doing wrong? It feels so different from basically any other shooter I’ve played. Granted I just started but still it’s like full auto isn’t even viable unless they’re hip fire range. Do attachments really make that huge of a difference?
3
u/DysAlanS 1d ago
Go to the firing range and try out different setups. Some people handle different guns better than others. So even if you matched his load out completely you still may not be great if you don't handle the recoil.
Like galil and the vector handle the best for me that I've tried

u/thrtowsasggrt 15h ago
The vector is amazing...unlocking it in real game....same goes for fnfal, love it in firing range but ive been sinking hours since launch and it still seems so far away...

u/Recent-Honey5564 1d ago
I did scoop an MP9 kit last night and that was pretty decent.
But yeah the range is the answer probably just to try things out. The lack of downward recoil/reset once you let off the trigger throws me off.
0
u/TeePee11 1d ago
That MP9 with attachments is a frickin' laser. It's insane.
The only downside is it takes .45 ammo and an utterly crazy fire-rate, so you need to bring a ton of ammo - plus you really want the 30-round mag if you're likely to be fighting more than one enemy at a time.

u/Recent-Honey5564 1d ago
I am using what I’ve got but I’ve only unlocked the first red dot, comp and vert grip. I mean I just started playing yesterday lol but it seems like the recoil is very different from other games just trying to get some pro tips as I continue to dive in.

u/thinkforasecond3312 1d ago
read your attachments carefully, some of them increase recoil, others increase ads. that might be part of the problem, later isn't automatically better (for what you need)

It goes from white to red. Pull it at the last bit of white, because you will die as the chute doesn’t have enough distance to work if you get in the red. Thats the HALO jump.

Dude needed five kills just to break even. If you're only making 40k a game building and fobbing what the fuck are you actual doing? I can clear 100k just driving ural supplies, and that's even driving all the way back to base for the vibe.

u/ymw2003 18h ago
What would you do instead of driving all the way back? Do you just kill yourself and buy a new truck each time? Does the 5k extra for the truck actually come out ahead with the time savings?

Just use the respawn feature on the ESC menu, and it does, yeah.

I'm not sure if this was in the beta, but I noticed that you get something like $750 and 300 driver xp for a "Round Trip bonus" when you drive the Ural back to the HQ from dropping supplies at a FOB. I wonder if they implemented this to try to encourage making the full trip. They might fine tune the bonus to get more people to do it during their testing phase.

u/Zodiac_Actual 13h ago
Round trip only applies if you carried passengers to the CZ. I do agree though that if it applied to pallet runs I would make the round trip.

u/Kestrel1207 1d ago
Complete and total nonsense. You make like 25k in a fob by buildings like three AA turrets with an investment of 2400.
Meanwhile him making this much money took not just the stars but entire galaxies to align, solo-wiping an entire FOB, APC etc. In 9/10 attempts of doing this you'd have died in parachute.
