WARDOGS FOB: Price, Deployment Steps and Battlefield Role

Official WARDOGS material describes a forward operating base as part of the building and battlefield system. Its practical role is to support team movement and positioning around an objective, not to replace the objective itself.

The Season 1 changelog lists the FOB vendor price as $7,500, up from the Beta baseline of $2,500. Treat that as a purchase decision before you open the deployment screen.

• A FOB is a forward operating base, not a general promise of a permanent base.
• The Season 1 vendor price is $7,500.
• The exact effect after deployment must be checked in the current client.

Check the current vendor screen first. The source set confirms the concept and launch price, but it does not confirm every role condition, placement limit or upgrade rule.

When the current client presents the FOB as a deployable purchase, follow the visible UI in this order. Button names and exact conditions must be captured from the current build before they are promoted to fixed instructions.

1. 1

   Open the current purchase or equipment screen

   Find the FOB in the current vendor or loadout interface; do not rely on a Beta screenshot for its menu location.

2. 2

   Confirm the price and any visible condition

   Check that the current screen matches the Season 1 $7,500 vendor value and record any role, level or match condition shown.

3. 3

   Buy only after checking the next-life budget

   Confirm that the FOB purchase will not remove the cash needed for your immediate weapon, utility or team task.

4. 4

   Choose a valid deployment location

   Move the placement preview to a location the client accepts, then commit the deployment.

5. 5

   Verify the deployment signal

   Look for the map marker, placed object or team effect shown by the current client before assuming the FOB worked.

6. 6

   Record the upgrade state separately

   If the client shows an upgrade control, capture its price and effect; if it does not, treat an independent upgrade path as unconfirmed.

A successful deployment should produce an observable client signal: a map marker, a placed FOB object or a team movement/respawn/supply effect. The exact signal is not specified in the current official source set, so use the current UI rather than a guessed keybind or effect.

If no signal appears, do not immediately buy another FOB. Check the balance, placement state, map filter and client version first.

If the purchase is unavailable, first check the current cash and any condition shown beside the item. If the placement preview is rejected, move to another valid area before confirming. If the purchase succeeds but no marker or object appears, check the map/UI state and record the exact client message.

A later hotfix can change the vendor price, placement behavior or team effect. Keep the observation date beside any client-specific instruction.

• Insufficient cash → keep the balance for the next required life purchase.
• Invalid location → move the preview and wait for the accepted placement state.
• No deployment signal → check map/UI filters and client version before buying again.
• Price or behavior changed → use the newest official changelog and current client.

The official sources support the FOB concept and the Season 1 vendor price, but they do not provide a complete public construction sequence, object list, placement limit, durability value, upgrade tree or zero-cash fallback. Those fields remain intentionally unconfirmed until the current client is observed.

• Do not publish materials, durability, capacity or placement numbers without current-build evidence.
• Do not describe an upgrade effect unless the current UI exposes and confirms it.
