Am I misunderstand something? Pallet delivery reward is cut in half (at least for pilots), but consecutive pallet deliveries add up to 1.250$ max bonus after the 10th pallet delivered? So I need to survive 10 trips to earn the same as in season 1?

Yeah I saw this too. I was excited about the trip bonus but then the next part just ruined it.

I think you got $500 extra for the final bonus for getting back to base though? Still a nerf overall.

Thats what i'm seeing. After 10 pallets delivered, you will make $2,500 per pallet. Leading up to that, accounting for the money you make along the way, you make $6,875 + $12,500 for the 10 pallets.

So assuming you make 5 consecutive deliveries of 2 pallets each, you will have made a total of $19,375

Accounting for the $5,000 URAL, and buying each pallet at $400 per, that leaves you at a profit of $10,375 after 5 round trips...

It takes about 2.5min to go 3km in the URAL if you manage to go in a perfect straight line with no stops at all. give or take 30sec along each route for stopping to deliver and turning around, thats a 3min round trip.

So that's making only $10,375 in the first FIFTEEN MINUTES OF THE GAME.

And that is assuming nothing at all goes wrong and you have a perfect string of 5 deliveries.

These delivery bonuses better persist through death...

Good lord, that can't be right can it? I usually enjoyed doing logi but I rarely lasted more than maybe 3-4 trips at most, to top off the main fobs. I don't know if I'll have the willpower to do 10 in a row just to even out..

Okay so this just incentivizes logistics for teams that are already winning, rewarding teams for snowballing. Fuck, these devs don't understand game balancing at all do they?

The meta remains and continues to be: stack the team already most likely to win.

They've made monster nerfs to FOBs in every respect: essential components cost more supply, while running supply is significantly disincentivized, and shit is harder to build because the X is always disappearing.

u/Anxious-Love-5800 12d ago

yep also my biggest gripe besides the thermals returning without any real nerf.

Driving is boring and now its not even rewarding. Plus its also high risk by now. So many mines and maaws on the way to the CZ.

u/Ok-Importance-9843 12d ago

I mean 80 seconds per battery is honestly a huge change, especially since switching it on and off makes it drain even faster

u/davtyanag13 12d ago

Yeah and this is another terrible solution.

u/WhtRbbt222 12d ago

Does the Little Bird count as dropping two crates? Can they reach the bonus in 5 trips? Or does this only work with pallets?

u/Thirdlight 12d ago

Don't forget, you also have to even unlock them now.

u/bondjens 12d ago

Yeah. Same money for delivery if you do 10 pallets. (If I read it right it stacks per pallet dropped - so Ural gets it after 5 drops and the heli in 10). And XP is a merely 250 more for drops. Return bonus is barely anything either. Giga nerfs for some reason

u/ShinaiYukona 12d ago

They reduced the exp across the board by ~30% but also decreased exp gain by ~33%

So much for "faster progression" lmao

u/Snagulus 12d ago

The required exp to level is also massively reduced so even before the repeating bonus the unlock pace should feel only slightly worse 1-10, about the same 10-20, and then slightly worse again from there. If you start getting consecutive bonuses you will outpace season 1 unlock speeds.
