WARDOGS FOB Building Guide

Plan a forward operating base around the objective, its verified $7,500 vendor price and a clear boundary around unverified placement and repair rules.

Check the budget first

A $7,500 FOB uses 75% of the officially described $10,000 starting balance. The Large Hammer vendor price is separately $2,400. Together those listed purchases equal $9,900 before weapons or other equipment.

That is a cost illustration, not proof that both purchases form the required FOB recipe. The official changelog provides prices, not a complete construction tutorial. Do not treat the arithmetic as a recommended beginner loadout.

A forward-position planning checklist

  • Identify the objective approach your squad wants to support.
  • Discuss the purpose of the position before spending.
  • Check your current client’s unlock, placement and inventory feedback.
  • Account for transport, supply and the cash you need for later lives.
  • Reassess the position when the active objective or surrounding cover changes.

The official example supports chokepoint fortification. Exact build distances, spawn effects and legal surfaces need current-build evidence; this guide does not fabricate those steps.

Separate the FOB from the construction tool

The FOB price is a vendor entry. Large Hammer also has a Support progression cost and level requirement. Building tools keeps that unlock entry separate from the vendor purchase.

Use the cost calculator for the sourced vendor subset. Enter other prices only from your own current game screen and keep those manual values labeled as such.

Destruction and maintenance

Official descriptions confirm heavy-weapon and tank destruction. They do not establish exact damage required against a FOB, its repair speed or its persistence across matches. Coordinate defense without assuming a numerical durability advantage.

What changed

The Season 1 increase makes the FOB a much larger commitment than the older $2,500 entry. This page records the verified change without inventing placement rules.

02Is Large Hammer definitely required to build a FOB?
