The '''Forward Base''' ('''Forward Operating Base''', abbreviated '''FOB''') is a [[Building]] that requires a [[Construction Vehicle]] to build and upgrade. [[Stockpile]] and [[Respawning]] is available at a FOB similar to how [[Static Base]]s ('''Town halls''') operate. However, a FOB is significantly weaker in terms of health and garrison size compared to its stationary counterpart. Due to its ability to be built anywhere on the map, it is used as a forward staging point for offensive operations as well as defensively through the use of [[Buildings#Defenses|Defensive buildings]].

The '''Forward Base''' ('''Forward Operating Base''', abbreviated '''FOB''') is a type of [[Base]] that can be built by players wherever they want with a [[Construction Vehicle]]. They can also be upgraded. [[Stockpile]] and [[Respawning]] is available at a FOB like every other base.
   
  +
== Description ==
−
'''Encampment''' is initial form of Forward Base. In [[Skirmish]] mode, it is the only forward base available and cannot be upgraded.
 
−
Encampment is very weak and can be destroyed by moderate gunfire, but provides all strategical advantages of a FOB. Encampments can be placed offensively (with enough supply of [[Basic Materials]]) to secure a pushed position by establishing a network of garrisoned defenses, barriers and [[Watch Tower]]s.
  
   
  ⚫
A FOB is significantly weaker than a [[Town Base]] in terms of health and base connection range compared to its static counterpart. Due to its ability to be built anywhere on the map, it is used as a forward staging point for offensive operations as well as defensively through the use of [[Structures#Defenses|defensive structures]].
⚫
Its orientation should be considered to ensure infantry access on one side while [[Transport Truck]]s can drive to it without running over players.
 
   
  +
FOBs comes in three tiers (Encampment, Field Base, Outpost), each tier has more health than the previous.
−
Encampments start at 0 Garrison, and slowly increase over 8-10 hours to 40, the max garrison size. Once an encampment is at its max size, it can be upgraded (using a CV) to the next tier, the Field Base.
 
   
  +
Defensive structures placed within a radius of 80m around the FOB have their AI activated and will engage enemies if the '''Small/Large Garrison''' upgrade is installed in the FOB (or even just the Provisional Garrison upgrade if 10 players set spawn, ie, player activity is high at the FOB).
⚫
=== Husk ===
  
−
[[Forward Base|Forward Bases]] now when destroyed leave behind a "husk", which retains built Facilities and stockpile which can be claimed by the enemy faction, withstands roughly twice(?) the amount of damage before being permanently destroyed. It was implemented in [[Update 0.17]].

“ A temporary forward operating base. Players can spawn from here. „
— In-game description

The Forward Base (Forward Operating Base, abbreviated FOB) is a type of Base that can be built by players wherever they want with a Construction Vehicle. They can also be upgraded. Stockpile and Respawning is available at a FOB like every other base.

Description

A FOB is significantly weaker than a Town Base in terms of health and base connection range compared to its static counterpart. Due to its ability to be built anywhere on the map, it is used as a forward staging point for offensive operations as well as defensively through the use of defensive structures.

FOBs comes in three tiers (Encampment, Field Base, Outpost), each tier has more health than the previous.

Defensive structures placed within a radius of 80m around the FOB have their AI activated and will engage enemies if the Small/Large Garrison upgrade is installed in the FOB (or even just the Provisional Garrison upgrade if 10 players set spawn, ie, player activity is high at the FOB).

The FOB's orientation should be considered to ensure infantry access on one side while Trucks can drive to it without running over players.

All soldiers in the same faction can see their respective FOB locations and level of upgrade on the map.

Forward Base Tiers

FOBs comes in three tiers. You require a Construction Vehicle and some Basic Materials to upgrade a FOB.

The Small Garrison Upgrade IconUpgradesSmallGarrison is required to upgrade a FOB to tier 2 and the Large Garrison Upgrade IconUpgradesLargeGarrison for tier 3.

Encampment (Tier 1) MapIcon Encampment

The initial form of a Forward Base. Encampments are very weak and can be destroyed by moderate heavy machine gun fire or heavy explosives, but provide all strategical advantages of a FOB.

Field Base (Tier 2) MapIcon Field Base

The Field Base has greatly increased durability and prevents decay if stocked with garrison supplies. It is immune to heavy machine gun fire. Upgrading to Tier 2 costs 100 Basic Materials and requires the Small Garrison Upgrade IconUpgradesSmallGarrison .

Outpost (Tier 3) MapIconsOutpost

The final form of a Forward Base. It is heavily fortified. It takes a large number of heavy explosives like R.P.G.s, Satchel Charges, or sustained tank fire to destroy it. Upgrading to Tier 3 costs 100 Basic Materials and requires the Large Garrison Upgrade IconUpgradesLargeGarrison.

Forward Base Upgrades

Base Upgrades are additional functionalities that the base can unlock. They are slowly and automatically unlocked over time. Upgrades progress faster the more people assign their spawn to that base. A particular upgrade can be sped up by voting for it in the menu of the Base if you've assigned your spawn there. Progression is also sped up by things like supplying the base and building structures.

Provisional Garrison IconUpgradesProvisionalGarrison

  • Connects the base to nearby defensive structures (80m radius). Defensive structures will deactivate if player activity is too low.

Small Garrison IconUpgradesSmallGarrison

  • Permanently connects the base to nearby defensive structures (80m radius).
  • Prevents nearby structure decay by consuming Garrison Supplies from the stockpile. Rate of consumption is 2 per hour per structure.
  • Required to upgrade Base to Tier 2.

Large Garrison IconUpgradesLargeGarrison

  • Prevents nearby structure decay by consuming Garrison Supplies from the stockpile. Rate of consumption is 1 per hour per structure.
  • Required to upgrade Base to Tier 3.

Husk

Forward Bases when destroyed leave behind a "husk" to rebuild them (with a Construction Vehicle). Like every other base types if the faction which previously owned the base rebuilds it then it regains all the Stockpile and every Base Upgrades that was unlocked. But if the enemy faction captures it by rebuilding it then the base keeps 25% of its stock (none of the Soldier Supplies) and loses all its upgrades.

The husk itself has twice the health of the base, it can be destroyed permanently to prevent the enemy faction from rebuilding the FOB.
