Strategy guide
Start by completing the introductory storyline. By the end of it, you should have established your first FOB and learned how to earn money by collecting enemy dogtags, as well as how to raise support by hanging propaganda posters.
Your next priority should be to establish a network of hideouts across all towns. To do this, you need to increase support in each of them. Don’t focus on a single location - instead, spread your efforts: hang posters in town A, donate supplies in town B, move on to town C, and eventually return to A. This rotation helps avoid diminishing returns and keeps the threat level moderately low.
Placing posters and talking to people may not be enough in towns with larger populations. The most effective method is donating supplies, which at this point can be obtained in one of the following ways:
- Purchase with money at ports: Earn money by turning in dogtags, completing resistance missions, or selling loot at shops.
- Raid an enemy factory: Go in guns blazing, or infiltrate undercover and casually drive off with the cargo.
- Ambush enemy transports: Enemy trucks may carry varying amounts of supplies.
- Loot enemy checkpoints: Occasionally, you may find a pile of supplies nearby.
Every new hideout will make your life a little easier - reducing travel time to resupply, pick up posters, or report mission progress. Once your hideouts are established, stock them with supplies, including your HQ. Resupplied hideouts enable the resistance to dispatch fighters who can assist in capturing key points of interest.
In the meantime, consider capturing radio and radar sites, which will help you consolidate your control over territory. This makes traveling safer, as enemy patrols will only appear in zones still under their control.
Now you’re ready to capture an enemy factory. Choose one near your FOB, or establish a new one. Make sure it’s stocked with weapons, ammunition, and medical items - either bring them manually or provide enough supplies so they can be purchased from the armory, medical tent, or other facilities. Set up a garage and park at least two vehicles. Whether you’re playing solo or with others, you can also build a living area to command a squad of recruits during the assault.
Proceed to the factory and clear the enemy garrison. You’ll likely face heavy resistance, but you can tackle it in stages. If you’re playing solo, consider using a sniper rifle to harass enemies from a distance, frequently changing position to avoid detection. In other situations, a frontal assault with AI squadmates may be effective.
Once you clear the garrison and enter the factory area, a battle will begin. Thanks to your hideout network, friendly fighters should arrive to help even the odds. If your character is killed, you’ll be able to quickly respawn at your FOB, grab a vehicle, and return to the battle before it’s lost.
Getting supplies becomes much easier once you’ve captured your first factory. It will passively produce new supplies each day, which you can transport to your FOBs, hideouts, or donate to towns. Factories continue production even when you skip time by resting in beds, so you can use this mechanism at moments of downtime. You should now focus on capturing additional factories to maximize your production throughput.
Once you have a steady surplus of supplies, you can start taking over towns and military bases using the same process - ultimately leading to the liberation of all territories and victory in the campaign.
