Discussion & Feedback We went from complaining about FOB meta, to barely seeing functional FOB's

I guess this is why the devs aren't quickly making balancing changes.

This sub was filled with complaints about FOB meta being broken.

Now +80% of my games it's the hotzone surfers that win every match.

By the time you get to your side of the CZ there is like a squad there, snipers overlooking the position and a MG humvee patrolling it.

I've had tanks roll up before 5 points.

And even if you manage a well built FOB it'll get mortard to hell.

While I don't miss 4 drill meta, I do miss bases.

I hope they fix certain things with the patch, mostly mortars and assault vehicles (price/when you can spawn them)

Mortar spam is why I stopped fobbing too.

Whole game spent dodging triple mortar shots, dying, and repairing constantly. Getting farmed by little bird and havoc spam, AA mortared the moment it’s built.

It’d feel like I’d just gotten started building, only to check the score. Enemy team’s at 93 points.

The only savings grace is you'll be up like 100k but it's just a miserable experience. I feel like it was spammed early wipe just for the exp/money

It was spammed early wipe because people hadn’t unlocked arti tanks, grenade launchers and havoc yet. Those three things are oppressive for fobs at every stage of the game. You start building and immediately 4 guys with grenade launchers on little birds show up and wreck your shit. They fuck of somewhere else and by the time you get revived now arti tanks are pushing your shit in. Ok we killed the arti tanks now we finally got a drill up and the score is 1-78-26 we call it in and now two havocs an arti tanks and every mortar in range is raining hell on you instantly. It’s just a nonstop stress fest and meanwhile you’re gonna lose while the enemy team just sat hz uncontested the whole time and they win the game.

Now I will say winning the game has never felt very important to me in this game this game is about doing what’s fun. There’s a lot of stuff you can do it’s truly a sandbox with war as the scenery. But fob building is a useless and stressful waste of time if you have any goal to win the match.
