What is this page?
Season 2 adds MG Nest, Large Shelter and Wooden Step, changes supply costs and reshuffles Support progression. Separate cash tools, construction supplies, unlock fees and rewards before judging return.
Who it is for
- Solo players comparing risk, utility and rebuy cash
- Players checking an old saved build against Update 0.2.0
How to use it
- Check your unlocks before pricing a kit.
- Buy the smallest set that completes the job.
- Protect at least one full-price rebuy and verify the live receipt.
Pick the smallest tool that completes the planned work
Wooden Step costs 15 supplies and can use Small Hammer or higher. Large Shelter costs 250 supplies and needs Medium Hammer or higher. MG Nest costs 650 supplies and requires Large Hammer. Medium hammers build slower after this update; Large Hammer speed is unchanged.
- Do not treat supply units as dollar prices.
- Ask whether the position is useful and supplied before buying a larger tool.
Account for the weapon progression reshuffle
PKM moves to Support level 15 / $100,000 unlock with a $4,100 vendor price. M249 moves to level 20 / $150,000; its retained vendor estimate remains historical. Evo-3 Ultra plus its 50-round box unlock at level 30 / $200,000.
- Evo-3 vendor price is $7,250; the box is $110, not a second $200,000 unlock.
- MAAWS moves to level 18 / $100,000 and costs $2,400 per vendor reference.
Measure completed support action, not guaranteed farming
FOB destruction can reach $7,500 / 250 XP at 25,000 supplies. Buildable rewards scale with completed construction; an unfinished target is not a full payout. A drill consumes 2,000 activation fuel, holds up to 10,000 and runs 0.03 seconds per fuel, or 300 seconds at full capacity.
- Halligan is now $885, opens doors and gates, and has seven uses; hammers no longer breach those doors/gates.
- Mortar restock is 150 supplies and Talon restock 200; Talon reload is five seconds.
- Fuel and supplies are operating resources, not a promised cash return.

Limitations
- This is not a complete live vendor export. Unchanged historical prices remain reported; confirm them in-game.
- Unlock fees are one-time progression costs, not per-life purchases. XP, supply units and destruction rewards are not vendor prices.
- Conditional discounts and server bonuses can change the receipt. No unpublished multipliers or battery prices are invented.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 650-supply MG Nest a $650 vendor item?
No. Supply-unit construction cost is distinct from the cash prices shown in the builder.
What hammer builds the new shelter?
The official Large Shelter requirement is Medium Hammer or higher; Wooden Step allows Small Hammer or higher, and MG Nest needs Large Hammer.
Can I calculate a guaranteed FOB profit?
No. Placement, delivery, completed work, enemy action and changing rewards affect outcomes. The guide separates known costs and payouts without inventing hourly ROI.
