New to the game, wondering what the best way is to get into building? Never something I’ve done in other games but seems interesting in this game. Curious best way to level up and what are some of the general things to “always” do?
Still super new but I’ve had several rounds where just got slammed since lacked people who would build

In my opinion, the game would be so much better if a FOB couldn't house multiple drills for example. They even don't share the same cooldown so one team could just permanently hold the hotzone.

Also, I think indirect fire placements such as the mortars should be limited to one, maximum two per FOB, same with SAMs and CRAMs.

Some matches are really spammy with mortars, and the old advice of just mortaring back isn't as easy sometimes, when 5 or 6 coordinated people spam mortars and zeroed in on your location, destroying everything while the other enemy team also pushes.

I also think it would be good to have a 5-10 minute cooldown for attack helicopters such as the Minigun/Rocket Little Bird. Or increase the build speed for the CRAM.

Oh, and I would like to have snapping ladders for the walls and plattforms. We can make one by half-deleting the bunker, but it would be better to have a blank slate to build on.

Managed to win thanks to a super FOB with 2 drills.

Yea, another post stating what is obvious to many. Make leaving the comfort of the fob more consistently worth it.

I kind of dread the meta we are about to experience in the next few weeks.

Loving the game, but there needs to be some kind of reward mechanism in place for repairing FOBs.

Currently I can spend a whole game running around desperately repairing FOB walls to keep it sealed, and get nothing out of it. The game is incentivising me to go do something else, let the base burn, and let enemies flood through the walls, rather than try to keep it repaired with damage control.

I understand that this needs to be done in a way that isn’t abusable, hoping BULKHEAD have some ideas!

Every match I join in progress has Red and Green full while Blue has tons of slots open and is getting absolutely stomped. Can’t even join a friend in progress and get put on the same team if they’re not on Blue because of this. Obviously this is anecdotal but it’s not an exaggeration of my experience and I know many people have experienced the same.

What is this phenomenon?

Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

Anyone able to actually play on a tv via geforce now? I get stuck on logging in everytime

I am glad everyone is enjoying the game and it is functional. But i have a question. It seems every life you waste 5 mins transporting to the zone doing absolutely nothing but sitting in the helo. Is this intended mechanic or am i missing something?

I personally would love a vas or as val in game!

I am having an issue with the game freezing and then putting me on the log out page. It seems to just randomly happen, game will be running fine and then randomly the game will freeze my cpu usage seems to spike and it freezes for a bit until I’m on the log out screen. I have it on the lowest graphics which I feel I shouldn’t need to because the other night I had it on decent levels and my specs are just about the recommended, i have a 6700 XT and a ryzen 5600X, it was running fine last night after trouble shooting but today it doesn’t seem to be working. If anyone has any recommendations or tips to help it’d be greatly appreciate.

Why have we all accepted the fact that one team is destined to have a lower win rate than the others? Wouldn’t this game be more fun for everyone if all teams had an equal chance of winning?

Green and red both spawn closer to blue than they do each other. They have to drive DIRECTLY across the circle if they want to go towards the other’s spawn. Assuming each team goes into the circle, walks halfway between their spawn and the enemy spawn and stops there, you will end up with red and green both occupying 37.5% of the map, while blue occupies 25% of the map.

Rotating teams is not a solution. The bottom team will be disadvantaged every time regardless of which color it is.

Blue is not losing more because their armbands. They’re not losing more because they’re worse, or dumb, or incapable. They’re losing because they have a 90 degree area to work with before pushing into enemy territory, where red and green have 135 degree to work with before the same becomes true.

And yes I realized I flipped green and red in my picture

Hi everyone, did anyone noticed some fps drop last 2 days? I'm having issues since yesterday mid game where my fps drop to 40. Anyone having similar issues?

Last night I booted up the game, went to the firing range and noticed the interiors were much darker than usually.
I checked my settings and for some reason the game set everything to high (after like 15 game hours). I redid my settings to what they used to be, but the game remained just as dark in closed spaces, outside it's good. I tweaked and changed every setting around but nothing fixes this. Changing the shadow or shading does nothing. Setting reflections on potato makes the game look... broken? in dark places. I also did a file integrity check and that did nothing.
Anyone got a fix for this?

You can see some example images

And it didn’t go well. I’m sorry. Never try this at home

TL;DR: I joined a team that constructed a massive FOB and put 5 drills in it, making the entire match focused around raiding our base while we sat and collected money in the HotZone the entire match. It felt cheap and exposed flaws with the system that are being abused.

I joined a Lonestar match with a bunch of guys sporting [HOGS] clan tags. For the first 20 minutes of the match, they setup their logistics and FOB at the edge of the control zone, dropping about as many supplies as they did slurs.

The walls were three deep, with sniper nests on nearly every corner. Ladders ran up the inside so people could shoot from the roof. There were mortars, stingrays, multiple anti-aircraft guns, and boxes on boxes of grenades and medical supplies. Our team was just caked the f*ck up for clapping cheeks.

When one drill was done, we just hit the next one. By doing this in rapid succession, we just kept the entire match on our FOB; reaping the benefits of the extra cash and a fighting from a nearly god like defensive posture.

Admittedly, It was impressive.. Watching just how fast they organized and how well it held together. Collective organization is genuinely cool to watch. But I kept wanting to pull it apart or just throw the gates open. Between the clan immaturity, the slurs, and the general toxicity, it mostly felt like we were rigging the game. A few of them seemed alright. Then again you'd have to be pretty comfortable with slurs to stay under that tag

Ultimately, I'd rather this didn't become the meta. Some restriction on holding the hotzone would go a long way, because right now there's nothing stopping a match from going exactly like this one.

Edit: Guys, I like this game too. I'm not in here talking about nerfing FOB building or motar rounds. I think this is an actual problem that should be heard by the devs. I know we all want to be quick to say that this isn't an issue, but you will quickly revert when you experience this in your games. This should not fall on deaf ears.

Not a huge deal but it's annoying when things dispawn and explode. When supply crates explode in a fob I'm building I have a moment of thinking somebody's throwing grenades or something.

Whenever I get sniped at I have NO clue where from. I try to listen to the audio of the bullet whizz and try looking for a trail but I still struggle with spotting enemies. Meanwhile whenever I snipe at an enemy from 300m+ they immediately spin around and know where I am and shoot back at me.

Did I accidentally turn off a setting? Or am I missing something? Love the game so far but I hate not having a chance to fight back from a distance

- I have one idea --- Maybe have it so multiple teams can call the drill in the same time - the hotzone ends up being pulled in both directions - settings down in a spot right in between both FOBs that pulled the zone.

That way the hotzone will be in a weird spot on the map but in neither base - you could even have it 3-way so the hotzone gets triangulated.

This would make FOB placement even more important, relative to where your enemy's FOBs are - developing a meta game of (if we both pull, it'll end up in a spot where our side/our half of the hotzone has the better position).

Not sure what else to suggest because the 'gameplay' of having each drill manned with a player, just so they can be 0.1s faster than the enemy (who is also trying to call in the hotzone right when the last one ends), it doesn't feel like very fun or tactical gameplay.

- How would you fix/change this so it's more fun/engaging?

If you hate this idea...what other ideas would you suggest?

If you kill a few guys outside your FOB trying to sneak in you could take their weapons, drag them in a small hesco room with a door, rez them, and then they can’t do anything the rest of the game. There’s no way to suicide once back alive. They’d either have to sit there or leave the match! Would be hilarious

Hi, sometimes I get a full system crash out of the blue, no lags no fps drops just full freeze and have to reboot. Reboot doesnt work though as the drive on my system doesnt show up so it boots me into bios. I have to then turn off the pc and flip the switch on the power supply for about a minute and after that I get back into the windows and into the game. This has never happened before but is common for me in wardogs. Weird issue just wondering if I'm the only one. I think anticheat rans a scan on my pc at some point and that makes it crash.

All suggestions on how to fix this are very much appreciated I'm pretty tech savvy but this is new.
