FOB ribbon multiplier?
I play on PS4 but I figured I can ask here. I just got to the late game, Or well basically, anyway. Whenever I play a FOB I'll get like a 0.2x Ribbon in the top left and only get 200,000 GMP when I should get like 1,000,000 GMP. And sometimes I'll get 1.0x but it won't give me anything at all, not even resources. Does anyone know what effects the Multiplier, and if you can get higher then 1.0x. Thanks.

I don't know all the specifics, someone who's been around longer than I have might be able to clue you in on details. I can tell you that the highest I've seen so far has been 1.87x and that had a lot to do with who I was taking in. I think the difficulty of the level plays a role too as it seems the harder the FOB, the greater the rewards. Beyond that, I can't tell you much more. Maybe someone else can.

yeah, so like GeekDoctor mentioned FOB difficulty affects ribbon multiplier. If your FOB is level 50 attacking a level 70 will give you a higher multiplier than if you go for a level 45 FOB. It's the difference between FOB levels that matters. ESPG affects the ribbon multiplier as well. Infiltrating a higher ESPG ranked FOB often affects the ribbon multiplier.

Number of platforms affects the ribbon multiplier, so a 4 platfom FOB is better than a 3 platform FOB. How well you infiltrate affects ribbon multiplier too, so a PSNK is better than getting a combat alert.

you can get up to 2.0x ribbon multiplier depending on your tactics and FOB levels.

Maybe to some extent, but I don't think it's the prime factor. Although I've mostly been doing the current event for the points and S++ staff you can buy with the points and I'm getting a lot of A, B and C staff that I can't use. Although that's lv 14 and mine is lv 45, 44 and 31. Although my Heroism is now 719000. Although at the start of this event I did get an S+ my first run. They've just kept going down ever since. So maybe repeats of the same one has an effect too?
