Building and FOBs: hammers, costs and a base that holds

Season 2 (from 15 October 2026). Prices and unlock levels are from the official Season 2 patch notes. Early Access changes fast: if a number looks off, check it in game and tell us in the comments.

The basics

• A FOB costs $7,500. It is not a spawn point; it is a base that supplies your team, mortars, anti-air and drill rigs.
• Builds use supplies brought in by logistics. Four supply types exist: build, ammo, fuel and mechanical. In Season 2 the ammo, fuel and mechanical pallets are WARDOG unlocks (levels 9, 16 and 5).
• Building levels Support. Destroying enemy buildables now levels Assault.

Hammers

Hammer	Unlock	Builds
Small	default	basic defences, Wooden Step, works without a FOB
Medium	Support 3	Hesco, doors, gates, Large Shelter
Large	Support 8	mortars, anti-air, drill rig, repair and refuel stations, MG Nest

In Season 2 hammers cannot breach doors or gates any more; the Halligan bar ($885) does.

Season 2 build costs (supplies)

Buildable	Supplies
Bremmer wall	32
Door	80
Gate	200
Shelter, bunker, crow's nest	200
Large Shelter	250
L81 Mortar	600
MG Nest, Stingray, Talon SAM	650
Vanguard CIWS	1,200
Hot Zone Magnet	2,750

Drill rigs now need at least 2,000 fuel to start and run for at most 300 seconds.

A base that holds

• Hammer technique: hit the moving yellow mark and swing again immediately. It builds much faster than holding the swing.
• Walls: long, flat outer walls with bunkers sticking out, barbed wire in front. Barbed wire and sandbags can now sit on top of Bremmer walls.
• Doors in pairs: one charge opens a door, so build airlocks. Vehicles need a longer airlock.
• Spread the mortars so one shell does not take them all, and build them in raised pits.
• Protect key assets (anti-air, the spawn APC) under shelters.
• Everyone should carry a small hammer for repairs.
