Why the context column matters
The vendor FOB entry is $7,500. The Support Large Hammer entry is $75,000, while its vendor entry is $2,400. They answer different questions and should not be silently merged into one per-life price.
The vehicle calculator uses the published progression entries for comparisons. It does not label them deployment prices. The loadout calculator defaults to the vendor subset.
Supply crates and XP
The changelog rescales the supply-crate purchase curve from 25–250 to 1–200. It does not give a complete item-by-item formula in that sentence. A separate XP event changes rewards for selling an item under $75 from 25 XP to 1 XP.
Keep the range, condition and unit attached. Neither line authorizes an invented crate arbitrage strategy or an exact revenue forecast.
Temporary community-server bonus
The patch 0.11 announcement describes a one-week 5% end-of-match cash bonus. This page records it as a dated promotion, not a perpetual server modifier or a guaranteed current benefit.
What changed
Every numeric row in this table comes from the September 9 changelog. No unchanged price is filled in from assumptions, and no profitability ranking is inferred from a price decrease.
Update history
