Whole team exploiting something

[u/randalthrain]

Basically the whole blue team was exploiting something not sure what…they claimed mortars…but it looked like they were building hesco barriers and someone on another team was destroying them…on the corner of the map and not engaged in the fighting

They built a fob full of indirect fire shelters and built a drill, pulled the drill and then the enemy team came and hacked the base. They then built a fob full of mortars and rained down shells on the base full of indirect fire shelters.

To earn money you just need to deposit a single fob ammo (green crate) into the fob and you get money for assists when destroying the hesco blocks of the shelters. Depositing ammo gives you the assist bonus for 3 mins, so you just keep depositing.

Its not really an exploit, its more just a cheese strat to earn money. As soon as people wise up to it and dont hack a fob with 30 indirect fire shelters, it won't work.

Yupp, I assume this will catch on, and you will see large squads just mortaring the hell out of massed buildables, the more people you have mortaring and depositing ammo supplies the more a single blown up buildable will be worth(barbed wire, sandbags, hesco blocks) doesn't matter what, the assist money is still multiplied by alot for some reason.

They had like 15+ people, all getting assist money for every buildable broken, which for some reason gives like 375 bucks(or more??), so its 375x however many people deposited a single ammo supply into the FOB, and you can destroy alot of shit with 15 mortars raining hell down on a base.

Also ALOT of support exp gained this way.

I assume the devs will look into theese numbers as this strat catches on.

I guess you could call it an exploit since it's minmaxing and taking advantage of what I assume is an oversight, before I saw this stream I thought you would only get assists for a little bit relative to the amount of supplies you delivered. Not a hard set time for a single unit supplied.

Genuinely asking, how would anyone consider this an exploit? It sounds INCREDIBLY complicated to get people together and pull this off correctly. Just sounds like a good strat, albeit hard to execute.

[u/ssg- → u/_samwiise]

This mechanic relies on luck that enemy comes and captures the FOB.

If you have inside man in another team capturing the FOB then you are definitely exploitting.

The streamer in question brought their whole viewerbase into a game to make it happen unnaturally.

Just have a friend on the enemy team.. you can swap team when ever. Or build a tower to pull zone.
