Quick answer
The best FOB is close enough to matter, hidden enough to survive, and supplied enough to keep helping the team. A badly placed FOB can waste supplies and attract attacks.
Building advice may change as maps, build rules, supply costs, and FOB behavior are updated.
FOB checklist
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Distance to objective | Too far wastes time; too close gets destroyed. |
| Supply access | Building and repairs need resources. |
| Cover and approach | Walls work best when they shape approach routes and protect defenders. |
| Anti-air and mortars | Strong tools need protection and coordination. |
| Escape paths | A trapped FOB becomes a cash sink. |
Build compact
Compact, useful defenses are usually better than large bases that drain supplies while leaving the objective exposed.
