The Wood base is a 735 HP structure that any hammer can build. It takes the same damage as the Sandbag Wall, but unlike the Sandbag Wall it must be placed inside a friendly base radius.

Overview

The Wood base costs 15 Build Supplies and has 735 HP. The export gives no display name for it, so this article uses the plain name “Wood base”. It has no separate parts.

Destroying an enemy Wood base pays 15 cash and 5 Role XP. The placement rewards for a structure placed inside a base are a flat 5 cash (10 in a hot zone). The data has a Placed and a Placed in FOB reward table that could pay this, and it is not confirmed which one the game uses; see Cash and Rewards.

Building it

  • Cost: 15 Build Supplies, whichever hammer builds it. Nothing is charged at placement.
  • Hammers: Small, Medium or Large.
  • Placement: It must be inside a friendly Forward Operating Base radius. It cannot be placed within 3 m of a safe zone or while standing in one, and not within 1 m of a ladder.
  • Stack limit: 4.
  • Build stages: Five, at 0, 20, 45, 70 and 100% of progress. The earlier stages have 16, 14 and 47 weak spots, and the 70% stage has 56. A hammer hit on a weak spot adds more progress (see Buildables).
  • Build time: Estimated from the hits to build in the table below, one hit per swing (derived, not timed in play).
Building it Small hammer Medium hammer Large hammer
Hits to build 30 (about 17.0 s) 15 (about 8.5 s) 10 (about 8.8 s)
Hits to repair from zero health 30 15 10
Hits to dismantle (your own) 5 4 3

Seconds are an estimate: one hammer hit per swing, 0.567 s per hit for the Small and Medium hammers and 0.883 s for the Large (derived from the use animation, not measured).

The hits assume normal hits, not weak-spot hits. See Buildables for how the hit amounts work.

What it does

The Wood base is cover and an obstacle. The data gives it no effect beyond its health and how it takes damage.

Durability

The Wood base uses the same damage row as the Sandbag Wall. See Sandbag Wall for the full reading.

Source Change Share of damage that gets through
Bullets -85% 15%

Grenades +0% 100%
Rockets +650% 7.5 times
C4 +200% 3 times
IEDs +500% 6 times

The table below gives the hits it takes to destroy, for each source.

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.
