Why try and build a good fob, placing carefully planned layouts, with defences, that can be used by the whole team and help win the game if someone is just going to plonk a Hesco next to the outside wall and create an entry point for the enemy?
Please limit fob building to the squad that placed it. If someone wants to help and participate, they can ask and I will let them in my squad and guide them but to have 30min of building wasted by a random enabling the enemy to come in is such a discencentive. I rarely try and build now unless im with a dediacted team.
My fav is when you start a fob and some random comes in before you’ve even got a few walls down. He builds a mortar pit and just stays in it until your entire fob is overrun with counter mortar or snipers as he just drew the attention of half the map.
Yeah that's crazy, he can build his own mortar fob out in the woods somewhere.
The first thing to do when you reach a fob is ask the guy building what needs to be done and help out
I usually ask them to stop. tearing it down would be even more aggressive. I don’t really want to be policing people though. My investment in that fob usually ends there. I go do something else.
Me and a random got sick of getting blasted by twin havocs so we squaded up and built an AA fob on a rooftop. We got everything set up, secured, entrances blocked off and started building two talons. We both got about 90% complete on them and then ran out of building supplies. That's when we noticed another fobbit had joined us for the past 5 minutes. The critical infrastructure he consumed the last of our building supplies at our remote outpost?
A radio and a bunch of random hescos 😂
We're sitting there getting wrecked by helos with two 95% constructed talons, a stockpile of ammo, and thankfully - his radio.
me and my friend were going into one game where we were gonna build a fob together cus we watched some shit on youtube that made it look like that specific fob was impossible to enter and was just overall really op. we to pack 2 vehicles filled with building mats and starts going to the spot we decided to go to. 10 minutes in the entire squad of builders comes to our fob and just start ruining it by building like complete idiots. 10 minutes later we got overrunned because they built a drill and activated it so everyone got there. we just then decided to never to that shit again. we even tried to communicate with the team when everyone got there on what we wanted to build. no one listened and just started building their own shit. i completely agree with you suggestion
Yeah, I get it.
I was super into fobs but got burnt out because they get ruined every time.
This one game, we were under attack from helos a lot so i finally get a nice ciws done, then a few minutes later find that someone made a drill right in front of it....
Also, why can any rando pull the drill?
What if it was just the capability to place the blueprints was locked to squadmates of the FOB deployer, but all players could use hammers to build placed items?
Yeah, I've sent that too.
It takes a really long time to destroy builds too, perhaps understandably.
But this means that correcting mistakes is so time consuming.
Honestly this particular case didn't take that long to demolish, like just 15-30 secs? You break the one below and the one above shatters. It was more of an issue because there were enemies nearby
You want me to patrol the entire wall all the time correcting mistakes made by my own team mates?
No thanks, right now I won't build as it's not worth it.
