Supplies pallets and crates, here is the difference and how they work.
It seems a lot of tester did not understand the crates and pallet mechanics, the need for it and also the importance of FOBs even if they don't give a spawn option.
• A Fob allows a team to build a defensible area that can accumulate supplies; building materials, ammo, fuel and mechanical supplies.
• Fobs also allows the building of bigger buildables in their influence zone without the need of transporting supplies on yourself.
• Every Fob once built comes with a minimum of supplies to get it running.
• Fobs serves different purposes, while most are built big and with all building in them, you do not have to build at a tower or even inside the big circle.
• Some fobs can be just to build an AA position, other for a UAV to destroy tanks and artillery, have a repair or refuel station or an mortar pit.
• The main benefit of having a Fob is you can build a drill which pulls the CZ when activated to itself, it requires fuel to operate and will stop all other drill from operating while active while also resetting all tower codes.
• To build bigger, resupply ammo for aa and other weapons on the Fob, refuel and/or repair you need to bring supplies. That's where pallets come in.
• While you can buy crates and fill them with supplies, they needs someone to have an empty backpack and unload them manually into the FOB, pallets fix this issue by beeing interactable and directly unloaded into the fob.
9.Crates are used as mobile vendor; a player buys the crate, buys the stuff to go in it and drops it off somewhere for other player to buy from it.
• You can request ammo, meds, rpgs , armor etc. Even stuff you did not unlock yet as long as the one supplying it, unlocked the item.
• You can use the middle mouse button to do general request. Having a weapon with 5.56 in hand while requesting ammo will put an order in the chat for that specific ammo. Same for meds etc.
• You can also use smoke signal grenade which are visible to all pilots in their hud and the map to request pickups, resupplies and even mark ennemies for air support.
• If you chase the CZ, good chance that you will end up out of ammo or meds, thats where crates come in handy. Instead of having to scavenge corpses that are camped by snipers, you can ask drivers and pilots to bring you what you need.
• You can right-click and mark coordinates on a map which people can click in the chat with their mouse to see the coordinates on the map, no need to search yourself, you can also mouse over any crates or request to see what it is.
I got a lot more tips and tricks, but that is all i had time to write, hopefully it will helps some of yall.
