If enough resources are stored, an operating base may be used as a respawn location. There are two types of operating bases, as described below. Forward Operating Bases FOBs can be established by resistance members using the entrenchment tool, via the placement menu. They need to be placed at a sufficient distance from enemy-controlled facilities, towns and other points of interest. You can use FOB Placement map tool to plan the location in advance. https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/command-posts/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/command-posts/index.html Command post enables you to have a resistance officer on site, allowing you to hand in dogtags, take posters or missions in your operating base, without the need to travel to a hideout.

They store resources of different types and make them available to use within a base. Different to base game supply system, resources in Freedom Fighters are not vicinity based and cannot be used directly from trucks and other sources. As the resources for construction are pulled from the base pool, the first supply storage in a base can be constructed without spending any resources. https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/armories/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/armories/index.html Armories allow the purchase of weapons and ammunition using resources stored at the base.

Assigning a vehicle enables to recover it from afar and protects it from despawning, which is very useful if you lose your vehicle, for example because of a sudden death. To assign a vehicle, you have the park it in the spot, come to a full stop and select the relevant option from the radial menu. Your vehicle must fit into the spot and have a matching type - for example, you can’t assign a car to a helipad. You will see an on-screen prompt when the option is available. https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/repair-stations/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/repair-stations/index.html Repair stations allow to repair vehicles of relevant category.

The repairs will consume resources stored at the location. https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/helipads/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.johnnykerner.dev/FreedomFighters/field-manual/bases/helipads/index.html Helipads offer a single parking spot to which helicopters can be assigned, and otherwise they are identical in functionality to garages. Additionally to regular helipads, military bases allow to construct a service helipad, which can be used to repair and rearm helicopters.
