How FOBs and Logistics Work in WARDOGS
Plan a WARDOGS FOB around one team loop, use the official Season 1 FOB and hammer costs, move supplies and avoid wasteful overbuilding.
Give the FOB one purpose
Choose the loop the base should shorten: reinforcements, supplies, repairs, observation, air defense or indirect fire. A clear purpose makes location and staffing decisions easier.
If the objective moves beyond that loop, reassess. A busy base in the wrong place is still a drain.
| Decision | Question |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Which team loop becomes shorter? |
| Location | What can observe the site? |
| Supply | What must arrive first? |
| Exit | How does the squad leave? |
Move the right supplies
Beta material separates building, fuel and ammunition. Confirm live crate labels, then assign who transports, unloads and protects the delivery.
Use a covered drop point and avoid blocking the next vehicle.
Build the minimum useful base
Place the core object, unload supplies and build what the stated purpose requires. Do not spend the opening on fortifications with no sightline or support value.
Use the live placement preview and counter.
Budget with the Season 1 build costs
The official Season 1 changelog raises the general Forward Operating Base vendor price from $2,500 to $7,500. It also changes Large Hammer pricing: the vendor listing rises from $1,600 to $2,400, while the Support-track Large Hammer rises from $25,000 to $75,000 and moves from level 7 to level 8.
Use the live vendor to distinguish similarly named entries and later changes before assigning the logistics budget.
| Entry | Before | Season 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor — Forward Operating Base | $2,500 | $7,500 |
| Vendor — Large Hammer | $1,600 | $2,400 |
| Support — Large Hammer | $25,000 | $75,000 |
| Support — Large Hammer unlock | Level 7 | Level 8 |
Connect specialist roles
Fuel can support Drill activity and ammunition can feed emplacements in beta explanations. Treat them as separate jobs with separate consumption checks.
Assign someone to monitor supplies and the objective. Stop expanding when the base no longer supports its purpose.
