Buildables

Buildables  
Structures 32 definitions, including the parts of larger structures
Hammers Small, Medium, Large
Stationary weapons 6, built with the Large Hammer (Medium for the Loudspeaker)
Cost Build Supplies
Health range 250 HP (Barbed Wire) to 15,000 HP (Forward Operating Base)

Players build structures such as walls, doors, bunkers and stations with a hammer. The hammer’s size decides which structures it can build. Each structure costs Build Supplies, has a health value, and takes damage from weapons and explosives in its own way. Most structures must be placed inside a Forward Operating Base radius, so the base comes first.

Overview

Each hammer builds a set of structures:

Hammer Shop cash Build speed (shop text) Can build
Small Hammer 100 Slow Barbed Wire, Recon Tent, Builder’s Radio, Hesco Block (Small), Sandbag Wall, Hedgehog, Wood base
Medium Hammer 800 Moderate Door, Gate, Hesco Wall, Hesco Block (Large), Shelter, and the parts of these
Large Hammer 2,400 Fast Every structure above, plus Bremer Wall, Bunker, Recon Tower, Indirect Fire Shelter, Drill Rig, Refuel Station and Repair Station

The Large Hammer is the only hammer that can place the Bunker, Recon Tower, Indirect Fire Shelter, Bremer Wall, Drill Rig, Refuel Station and Repair Station. The stationary weapons, listed below, are built with the Large Hammer, and the Loudspeaker can also be built with the Medium Hammer.

The export gives no display name for the Shelter and the Wood base, so this page uses the plain names “Shelter” and “Wood base”.

Structures

Parts of a larger structure, such as a floor or a roof, are placed with their parent and cannot be picked on their own. They are shown on the parent’s row.

Individual emplacements

Each stationary weapon has its own article, with its gun, ammunition, restock and Season 2 changes:

Individual structures

Each structure below has its own article, with its cost, placement, damage numbers and Season 2 changes. Variants that differ only in size or parts share one article.

Effects

Damage by source

Each structure has a damage row that changes how much damage each source does to it. The table shows the change for each source. A change of -85% means 15% of the damage is left. A change of +650% means the damage is multiplied by 7.5. A plus sign means more damage.

Structure HP Melee Bullets Grenades Rockets C4 IED
Sandbag Wall 735 -80% -85% +0% +650% +200% +500%
Hesco Block (Small) 1,600 -80% -80% +50% +120% +220% +500%
Hesco Wall 4,600 +0% -80% +0% +200% +150% +400%

Forward Operating Base 15,000 -80% -80% +200% +1,400% +1,250% +5,000%

Plain reading: a Bunker takes about a fifth of the bullet damage, and rockets do their normal damage plus 45%. Rockets, C4 and IEDs multiply the damage to most structures. The Forward Operating Base is the most exposed to IEDs, at +5,000%, which is 51 times the normal damage. These are the damage entries that match one source on its own. Other entries, for particular weapons and ammunition, can also apply, so these figures are a first estimate. The hits each structure takes to destroy are derived in the table below.

The full table for every structure is on the Buildables data page.

The Forward Operating Base has a “do not take damage” flag in its data. No code in the game files reads it, so it appears to be unused data, and the hit counts above treat the base like any other structure.

Build stages

A structure is built in stages from 0 to 100%, and each stage shows a new part of the structure. Most multi-stage structures have five stages, at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The Door uses 0, 30, 60, 80 and 100%, and the Wood base 0, 20, 45, 70 and 100%. Parts such as floors and roofs have only one stage. Earlier stages have weak spots, which are shown as marked points on the half-built structure; a hammer hit on one adds more progress (see Weak spots).

In the multi-part structures (Bunker, Door, Gate, Recon Tower, Indirect Fire Shelter and Hesco Wall), the last stage hands over to the finished parts. Each part is its own buildable with its own health, so a finished Bunker is several pieces, not one. This is Derived from the stage data.

Use and timing

Building

Building needs Build Supplies and a hammer. Each hammer hit adds progress: a normal hit adds the hammer’s build amount divided by the structure’s Build Supplies cost, so a structure takes fewer hits from a bigger hammer. A hit on a weak spot adds more (see Weak spots):

Hammer Build amount per hit Build amount on a weak spot Season 2 weak-spot amount
Small 0.5 3 not listed as changed
Medium 1 5 6 became 5
Large 1.5 8 10 became 8

The number of hits to build, repair or dismantle each structure is in its article, in a “Building it” table, for each hammer. The total Build Supplies to finish a structure is its cost, whichever hammer builds it. Build Supplies are used up a little with each hit, so a finished structure has taken its full cost. Nothing is charged when the structure is placed.

Some structures change the hit amount: Barbed Wire and Recon Tent count a hit 3.5 times as much, the Drill Rig 2 times and the Vanguard CIWS 1.25 times. The hit counts in the articles already include this.

The shop text describes the hammers as slow, moderate and fast. The hammer’s use animation has one hit per swing: 0.567 s per hit with the Small and Medium hammers and 0.883 s with the Large. These are derived from the animation, not measured in play, so the articles give build time in seconds as an estimate (for example, about 17.0 s for a 30-hit Sandbag Wall with the Small hammer). The shop text calls the Large hammer fast, and the swing timing does not explain that, so it is not confirmed.

Repair and dismantle

  • Repair: on a finished structure, a hammer hit restores health instead of adding progress. It restores the hammer’s build amount times the structure’s repair multiplier. Repairing uses Build Supplies too, and any supplies not needed are returned. The repair multiplier differs by structure: 1 for most walls, 6.7 for the Bunker, Recon Tower and Indirect Fire Shelter, 13.3 for the Refuel and Repair Stations and 150 for the Drill Rig. Each article gives its repair hit count.
  • Dismantle: a hammer hit on your own structure does 150 (Small), 200 (Medium) or 250 (Large) damage. The data also sets half of that for a structure owned by someone else (the modifier name is read as “hostile”; this is inferred). No Build Supplies refund on dismantling was found in the data.
  • Unfinished structures: damage removes build progress in proportion to the structure’s maximum health. At zero progress the structure is destroyed.

Weak spots

Weak spots are marked points on a structure that is being built. They only matter for building, and only for hammers:

  • A hammer hit on a weak spot adds the larger build amount: 3, 5 or 8 for the Small, Medium and Large hammer, instead of 0.5, 1 or 1.5. That is 6, 5 and 5.3 times the normal hit, so a weak-spot hit builds about 5 to 6 times faster.
  • Bullets and melee hits cannot hit a weak spot, because the spot ignores them.
  • A spot is only offered when it is close to you: within 2.9 m of your view for the Small and Medium hammer, and 3.4 m for the Large hammer. The spots relocate on the structure as you build; how the next spot is chosen is not confirmed.
  • Weak spots have nothing to do with damage. No damage entry uses them, so a structure does not take more damage from a bullet or rocket because of its weak spots.
  • Barbed Wire and Recon Tent have their weak spots switched off, so every hit on them adds the normal amount.

The hit counts in the structure articles assume every hit is a normal hit, and the repair and dismantle counts also ignore weak spots. Hitting weak spots brings the build count down. The repair and dismantle counts are derived from the hit amounts, not checked in play, and for a hammer that cannot place a structure they still show what that hammer’s hit does.

Placement

  • The build point must be within 6 m of the player.
  • Most structures must be placed inside a friendly Forward Operating Base radius. The exceptions are the small structures: Barbed Wire, Recon Tent, Sandbag Wall and Hedgehog. Those cannot be placed inside an enemy base radius.
  • Safe zone: most structures cannot be placed within 3 m of a safe zone, and a player standing in a safe zone cannot place one at all. The articles say which structures have this check.
  • Ladder: most structures cannot be placed within 1 m of a ladder. The Drill Rig has no ladder or safe zone check.
  • Stacking: a structure can be placed on top of another buildable only if the one below is finished and allows it, and the stack can only be as high as the structure’s stack limit. The limits are given per structure: 100 for the Barbed Wire, Recon Tent, Sandbag Wall, Hedgehog and stations, 6 for the Builder’s Radio and most stationary weapons, 1 for the Forward Operating Base, Shelter and Gate, and 0 (no stacking) for the Recon Tower and the Drill Rig.
  • Builder’s Radio: up to 4 per Forward Operating Base. It counts toward that limit.
  • Refuel Station and Repair Station: 1 per Forward Operating Base each.
  • Drill Rig: only inside a placement zone within a control zone.
  • A Forward Operating Base cannot be placed within about 42 m of another one. The exact shape of this check is not decoded.

Drill Rig

The Drill Rig is the buildable form of the map’s hot zone magnet. It needs fuel to run. After placement it waits 15 s before it can start. It needs at least 2,000 fuel to run, each fuel unit buys 0.03 s of run time, and it holds up to 10,000 fuel. The run time is therefore 60 s at the minimum and 300 s on a full tank. The recharge after a run is 900 s. Starting it is a 10 s hold within 2 m. These seconds are Derived: the data gives the numbers, and the timers in the Blueprints use them as seconds.

While it runs, the Drill Rig pulls the hot zone toward it at a speed in metres per second: 3 m/s by the game’s default, while the rig’s data lists 5 (not confirmed to replace it). The travel time, distance divided by speed, is added to the run time. See the Drill Rig article.

Refuel and repair

The Refuel Station and Repair Station work with Fuel Supplies and Mechanical Supplies. Each has a Fast restock (5% in 3 s, for 75 or 100 cash) and a Max restock (up to 100% in 9 s, for 1,500 or 2,000 cash), using 5 supplies per restock. See Refuel and Repair Stations.

Cost

The cost column in the Structures table is the Build Supplies cost, and it is the total a structure uses up, whichever hammer builds it. Build Supplies are used while the structure is built, not when it is placed. Build Supplies are sold in lots of 50 for 10 cash a lot (0.2 cash per unit).

Hammers cost 2,400 cash (Large), 800 (Medium) and 100 (Small). The Forward Operating Base costs 7,500 cash.

Hits to destroy (point blank, derived)

Derived from each source’s base damage and the damage table. It is not a count from play: each figure assumes every shot lands at point blank for full damage, with no falloff and no other rules, so real fights can differ. Base damage used: M4 5.56 mm FMJ 28, .50 cal FMJ 90, 120 mm rocket 150, M67 frag grenade 100 (it counts as a rocket against structures), C4 charge 250, IED 300. Each figure is the number of hits needed after every matching damage entry is applied. Parts of larger structures (floors, roofs, door sections) have less health and take fewer hits. Each structure’s article gives its parts. The Drill Rig is not in the structure data, so it has no hit counts here.

Season 2 changes

The following build costs changed in Season 2:

Structure Season 1 Season 2
Indirect Fire Shelter 100 200
Bremer Wall 15 32
Bunker 100 200
Recon Tower 100 200
Door 22 80
Gate 85 200
Drill Rig 2,250 2,750

The Drill Rig’s fuel values changed too: the minimum fuel to run went from 1,500 to 2,000, the maximum fuel from 7,500 to 10,000, and the run time per fuel unit from 0.05 to 0.03.

Several entries in the buildable damage table changed by 5 to 17 percentage points. The Season 2 data does not say which structures they apply to.
