Each piece has a Build Supplies cost and a job, such as cover, an entry point, a service or a weapon. The choice that matters first is whether it needs a FOB, because only a few of these go down without one.

Builds You Can Place Without a FOB
Barbed Wire, Recon Tent, Sandbag Wall and Hedgehog are the builds that don't need a FOB, so they're the options before you've set one up. Pick them by job. Barbed Wire slows and injures enemy infantry for 7 Build Supplies. Recon Tent hides its occupants for the same 7. Sandbag Wall gives quick waist-high cover for 15, and Hedgehog blocks or channels enemy vehicles for 22.
Build Supplies for Walls, Doors, Gates and Shelters
The Bunker Floor, Bunker Roof, Indirect Fire Shelter Floor and Indirect Fire Shelter Ceiling are separate buildables, and each one costs 10 Build Supplies. The FOB kit and the Drill Rig aren't covered here.
Hesco Block (Small) gives 1,600 HP for 15 Build Supplies and needs a small hammer. Hesco Block (Large) costs 7 more, gives 650 more HP, and needs a medium hammer. The Hesco Wall takes 75 for 4,600 HP across four large blocks. Bremer Wall has more health than the Hesco Wall, 6,500 HP for 32 Build Supplies, but it needs a large hammer where the Hesco Wall needs a medium one.
Doors and gates are access points. A Door costs 80 Build Supplies for 2,200 HP and gives your team infantry access. A Gate costs 200 for 5,320 HP and is the armored way in for friendly vehicles. Both need a medium hammer.
The Bunker and the Indirect Fire Shelter cost the same 200 and have 5,000 HP each, and both need a large hammer. Pick the Bunker for a protected place to fire from, since it also gives some cover when indirect fire hits. Pick the Indirect Fire Shelter when indirect fire is the threat: it protects against it, and its four doorways let you choose a layout.
Large Shelter is the odd one out. It costs 250 Build Supplies for 2,250 HP, so it costs more than the Bunker and has less than half its health. Pick it to cover key assets, keep the rain off or build up in levels, not for the health.
Wooden Step is a quarter the height of a Hesco Block, so four stacked steps reach the height of one. It costs 15 Build Supplies and needs a small hammer or better.
Which Hammer Each FOB Buildable Needs
Hammers are separate equipment, so the one you carry often decides what you can place. The WARDOGS gear page covers them.
- Small Hammer: Barbed Wire, Recon Tent, Sandbag Wall, Hedgehog, Hesco Block (Small) and Builder’s Radio.
- Small Hammer or better: Wooden Step.
- Medium Hammer: Hesco Block (Large), Hesco Wall, Door and Gate.
- Medium Hammer or better: Large Shelter.
- Large Hammer: Bremer Wall, Bunker, Indirect Fire Shelter, Recon Tower, Refuel Station, Repair Station and MG Nest.
Season 02 also changed build speed. Medium hammers add less per swing, and critical spots give a smaller bonus. Large hammer build rate per swing is unchanged.
Support Builds and FOB Services
Builder’s Radio, Refuel Station and Repair Station have per-FOB limits: up to four radios, and one refuel station and one repair station. Builder’s Radio is the cheapest build in this group at 20 Build Supplies, and it plays music around the FOB.
Refuel Station and Repair Station each cost 200 for 1,600 HP. Refuel Station refuels friendly vehicles inside the FOB radius, but only while the FOB has Fuel Supplies stored. Repair Station works in the same radius on friendly vehicles and needs Mechanical Supplies stored. For the vehicles these stations service, see the WARDOGS vehicles page.
Recon Tower costs the same 200 as the Bunker and has more than three times the health of either station, at 5,000 HP. You're paying for height: raised firing positions and a ladder.
Loudspeaker costs 200 for 1,000 HP and needs no crew. Climb it to project your voice farther.
Manned Emplacements: Build Cost and Restock Cost
Emplacements cost the most to place, and each one draws on a second supply to keep firing. Restocks come out of the FOB's stored supplies and are a separate bill from the build, so the restock line matters as much as the build price.
| Emplacement | Build Supplies | Restock amount | Restock supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| L81 Mortar | 600 | 150 | Ammo Supplies |
| MG Nest | 650 | 200 for 60 rounds | Ammo Supplies |
| Stingray | 650 | 900 | Mechanical Supplies |
| Talon 9K-SAM | 650 | 200 | Ammo Supplies |
| Vanguard CIWS | 1,200 | 250 for 500 rounds | Ammo Supplies |
The L81 Mortar is short-range indirect fire. The Talon 9K-SAM fires heat-seeking anti-air missiles and reloads in 5 seconds. The Vanguard CIWS is a close-in anti-air system that a gunner operates by hand. Season 02 retuned its cannon damage against structures: it now shreds light cover and struggles against heavy fortifications.
The Stingray launches explosive anti-armor UAVs, and only one can be active at a time. Restocking it takes 900 Mechanical Supplies, while buying UAVs is a separate operation that uses cash and Mechanical Supplies. The MG Nest is an M2 Browning .50-caliber gun in a sandbagged emplacement, and it's manned. The L81 Mortar, Stingray, Talon 9K-SAM and Vanguard CIWS each take one gunner.
What Season 02 Changed for FOB Buildables
Season 02 repriced most of the heavy builds. The L81 Mortar and Stingray roughly quadrupled, while the Talon 9K-SAM and Vanguard CIWS got cheaper.
| Build | Before Season 02 | Season 02 |
|---|---|---|
| Door | 22 | 80 |
| Gate | 85 | 200 |
| Bremer Wall | 15 | 32 |
| Bunker | 100 | 200 |
| Indirect Fire Shelter | 100 | 200 |
| Recon Tower (Crow's Nest) | 100 | 200 |
| L81 Mortar | 150 | 600 |
| Stingray | 150 | 650 |
| Talon 9K-SAM | 1,000 | 650 |
| Vanguard CIWS | 1,500 | 1,200 |
Wooden Step, Large Shelter and MG Nest are new in Season 02. The Talon and L81 Mortar were also made slower to build and more expensive to keep active. The Talon's reload went from 2 seconds to 5, and its restock went from 50 to 200 Ammo Supplies. The Mortar's restock went from 75 to 150 Ammo Supplies, and a new firing animation lowers its fire rate. Barbed Wire no longer pays cash or XP for kills.
Placement, Breaching and Collapse Rules
- Barbed Wire and Sandbag Walls can go on top of Bremer Walls.
- Foundations now fit properly against slopes, stairs and walls.
- Unfinished buildables collapse as soon as they lose a support instead of floating.
- Hedgehogs can only go on certain surfaces.
- Hammers can't breach doors or gates. A Halligan bar can breach both.

FAQ
Do I need a Support level to build these?
No. These buildables are unlocked by default. Building one earns Support XP, which is a reward, not an unlock requirement.
Is the FOB kit one of these buildables?
No. The FOB kit is equipment with its own progression, and the WARDOGS gear page covers it. A FOB itself costs 30 Build Supplies, separate from the structures you build around it.
Are Build Supplies a cash price?
No. Build Supplies are the construction resource, not money.
