Update:
We are now at version 2.1.2064

• Both Offense and Defense can build FOBs
  
• You can make up to four three FOBs
  
• You can dig down a FOB rather than satchel it
  
• Hedgehogs can no longer be placed in doorways :D
  
• FOBs only cost 500 supply!

This guide was written for Post Scriptum version 2.0.93-4.21 and higher. (The author feels being able to place as Many objects as you want near a FOB is a bug that might be fixed in the future.)

Side Note: I like to lower my Master Volume so I can hear other people in this game.

This guide will hopefully cover the very basics of Logistics along with some of the more nuanced options for the role.


HUD Display Shows Player is Within FOB Radius (Tent) Truck (0 build) and Supply (450 build)


T Key Radial Menu for Weapons

The Logistics Section is responsible for building defenses, placing Respawn points (FOBs), and laying mines for tanks and infantry. You place defenses by pressing the T key and a radial build menu will appear. You can then choose between Weapons or Building. Weapons places things like Ammo Crates or MGs. Buildings are FOBs, Obstacles, or Fortifications. Obstacles is another menu as is Fortifications.

Most objects also have a cost associated with them. This cost comes from Logistics Truck supplies.

Once placed, you will need to use your shovel to "dig" up the object into existence. The object will reach full health when you can no longer dig it, however objects will "work/be operational" before this. Make sure to dig up the FOB the entire way so that it can survive a Commander's Bomb attack.

These options are available to any country.

It is important to note that other people in Logistics that aren't the Section Leader can place everything a Section Leader can, except for the FOB. Infantry Section Leaders can also place everything a Logistics person can (except for the FOB). Now, since Logistics are the only ones allowed to drive Logistics Trucks, you will usually see Logistics building things. Everyone in Logistics has a shovel they can use to build.

The main base is where the Logistics Trucks are spawned in (by pressing the F key on the Logistics sign). If the sign is crossed out then that truck is in the field or is not available and a timer countdown will print out. Trucks spawn with full supplies (1000). Usually you take them from main base to somewhere else and start building near the truck. Then you drive back to main base and resupply (Refill). You need to be standing outside the truck to resupply.



You can also drop (Dump) supplies from a Logistics Truck. They drop behind the truck. Once dropped, you cannot load the supplies back into the truck. If you drop more supplies near the same spot, then they will all go into the same box.

When moving the Logistics Truck around, use Vehicle Reset if you need to get over a Hedgehog or a trench.

Pro Tip: Press Capslock to honk the horn. Also, F4 puts you in the back seat if you want to look around.

If you are playing in Offensive mode and you are the Attackers, you can build up to two FOBs. If you are Defending then you are not allowed to build a FOB.

If you are playing Invasion mode, both Attackers and Defenders can build FOBs.


A FOB cannot be placed inside the red zone of an objective (in Offensive and RAAS gamemodes).


The Defenders sometimes start out with supplies at objective locations! This is very useful, especially at those first objectives. Hopefully Infantry Section Leaders will remember to place items at these quickly hit locations.


If you are playing RAAS then you can build a FOB anywhere, even on an objective. As of Dec 22, this is no longer true.

You can only have two FOBs at a time (where people respawn). If you dig up your FOB, 550 resupply will be placed back into a Logistics Truck if it is nearby. This is super helpful and actually the entire reason I wrote this guide.



You must be at least 50 meters (green circle) from a Logistics Truck to build something (or 70 meters from dumped supplies). When you place a FOB down, you can then place anything 150 meters (red circle) from that! So as you can see from the picture, you could place lots of structures some distance from the FOB, which I consider to be the "heart" of the base.

If the FOB is removed/destroyed then all MG and Mortar emplacements will disappear as will the Vehicle Tent and Repair Crane, however any Ammo Crates and Fortifications stay.

Once you have placed a FOB, you can build up to Total Per FOB of Buildings and Obstacles within this 150 meter radius. No supplies needed! I don't understand why the build menu shows "Requires CT". This isn't true.


Tinner's "Bacon Wrap" FOB - This kind of setup can protect from full arty attack

It takes one person to block (stop people from spawning) a Rally or MSP, but it takes two to block a FOB.

Many people frown on building FOBs on the point. The enemy is going there to capture the point, so once they get there they will block off spawning at that base (that they probably didn't even know about).

I used to think it was okay to build on point. It meant people would spawn and then be right there to defend. This new release (with Invasion mode) has finally broken my will and I agree: building on point is bad. Many times (2 games) I have built up the greatest base on the point only to have one guy wander into a house attic and block the entire team from spawning in.


It is much better to build a FOB (In Invasion as Defenders or RAAS) away from the point

Besides being a Logistics Section Leader, you can also be a Medic, Rifleman, or Combat Engineer. Of the Combat Engineers, there are three types: anti-personnel, anti-tank, and high-explosive. AP has AP mines, AT has tank mines, and HE has dynamite.

Even though the AP carries four AP mines, then can only place three at a time. Even though the AT carries one AT mine, they can place up to two by going back to an ammo crate and resupplying.

It takes 12 digs to remove an AP or AT mine. The HE dynamite goes off in 13 seconds.

A good machinegun placement can hold off an entire team for quite a while. Try to memorize some good locations on the maps so you can quickly place them down in the heat of battle. Here are some of my favorite spots.


Maybe know your houses as well, which have good windows for machineguns.


There are some bad places to place machineguns. Some houses have railings that block. The MG Nest that you can drop down, actually blocks the machinegun! Some bunkers that look like good machinegun spots block as well.


Keep in mind you can also place machineguns just outside map sandbags to keep the gunner safe but still allow them to fire. (Cheating?)

Hedgehogs are awesome. They can't be dug down, they don't cost much (50), and you can use them to block important entrances. It's too bad artillery can destroy them.

If you are an Attacker or playing RAAS, build everything (see FOB bug mentioned in Version). If you are Defending and supply cost is important, I recommend placing in this order:

1. Ammo Crate - very, very important for AT, good to place indoors to avoid artillery destroying

2. Machinegun - hopefully you have a really good spot for this, though sometimes it's hard to know where the enemy's coming from, try to keep elevated (like this cart)

3. Hedgehogs - block those entrances
4. Ladder - give your team options on where to hide (or window to shoot out from)
5. Sandbag Logs W - of all the fortifications, I find this to be the best bang for the buck, covers the widest area

6. Not much else - I wouldn't place a lot of objects. Once the base is found by the enemy, artillery can quickly destroy just about anything

When Defending, one "nice to do" is to place ammo crates in the field when you know tanks will be approaching. This gives AT guys added strength (by giving them more ammo to shoot with).

Here's some good places to place the Defender FOBs on Utah. The allies cannot run beyond the red line ('d' in Grande) without getting auto-blown up, so they cannot take down the FOB. Map updated to not have this.

Logistics plays an important part in Post Scriptum. Without it, I believe Defenders should always lose.

Try to build up the objective before the enemy team attacks it!

Try not to lose/leave your Logistics Vehicles in the field!

Tankers love when that Repair Crane is out in the field. If you place a Repair Crane near an AT gun, it will auto-reload.

After making a FOB, always create a Vehicle Tent. Useful when the battle moves far away from the FOB.

There are so many things I can say here. You'll learn over time. I just wanted to put into words the fact that you can build as much stuff as you want near a FOB (150 meters). I don't know if this is broken or what. Also, that you can dig up a FOB and get the points back is amazing.

What tips do you recommend? Please leave in comments! Thanks!
