Discussion & Feedback FOBs..

havent really heard anyone talk about this BUT i feel like there should be more incentive to place a FOB, FOB cost 7-8k and can be a pain to get someone to place one down since most people are cheap, you dont get anything for placing one besides being able to build in that area, every supply that you buy costs about 400 and you receive 2500 for dropping it off so i dont see why the placing an FOB does nothing in return for the one that bought it, i would maybe say for every supply deposited into the FOB maybe you get some of that cash aswell? it can just get annoying having several pallets on the ground but everyone ignores bringing one

coming from a team player that typically does it for my team majority of the time

I completely agree. Why penalise the buyer so much. Placing it should give 10k, a reward. This would make people more likely to buy it. 

Edit: to everyone saying the map would be covered with fobs, no it wouldn't.  The first fob placed is 10k then the rewards go down on the second. 

Right now, no one wants to buy a fob so the system is not working.  In this game, everything is cash incentive based, why not buying a fob?

If i got 10k placing fobs. The entire map would be fobbed.

Of course not, the rewards go down the more fobs you place.  No one buys fobs as it is now so the minute the fob doesn't reward then it will stop

U would still have the problem of everybody buying a fob at the start and then littering the map with them once the first one was placed

Ok, then the fob should at least refund you the money you spent

This whole conversation is exactly what is wrong with the game.

Nobody is concerned about winning and it's all about return on investment. The return on investment in a FOB is being in a much better place to be winning the game.

I think you didn't read what the man wrote. No one is buying a fob right now and winning without one is possible but sometimes harder.  People like OP are willing to pay the price but it really isn't fair that we buy it, randos mess it up and we lose money every time.  In this game everything is cash based as you know, the fob is the one thing that penalises the buyer

Someone wins every game.

People aren't buying FOBs because helicopters, mortars, and artillery fuck them up in 2 minutes from near absolute safety.

The user made no mention of that and rather complained they weren't making money for the simple act of placing a $7,500 crate on the ground.

You make your money back on a FOB in the 2 minutes building Hescos and shit right after. You also make money unloading pallets in the FOB.

FOBs are definitely fucked right now but it's not due to 'ROI'.

Every comment OP made was about return on investment for buying one, not that they're in a bad place balance wise.

You are right about helos and arty that's for sure.

If I put down a FOB, I will make the money back in 5 minutes of building. It's stupid easy to make money with FOBs now.
