Which units to prioritize for Direct Contracts
Is it best to prioritize the Security team over all the others for Direct Contracts, since they are the ones exposed to FOB infiltrators? Or better to distribute your Direct Contracts evenly across all units?

Thanks!

I think you should lock your S++ soldiers, when infiltrator reached the core, they steal 10 random soldiers in that unit, the 10 soldiers can be anyone that is not under direct contract.

My security staff consisting of S rank combat soldier, which I get them easily from volunteers etc, to be honest they are cheap. Only lock someone you give a damn about though, I wish they could somehow increase the direct contract slots, now I have like 400 S++ that waiting to be stolen lol.

Hm yes. Guess I'm lucky I only have about 160 S+ and above soldiers. They're all under Direct Contract, and the rest are S soldiers.

I was just thinking about when I run out of Direct Contract slots, which S+ soldiers I should prioritize. But it sounds like I should disperse them evenly between units, since it depends on which platform happens to get invaded.

I thought the Security team did all the FOB security guard duty for all platforms. What do they actually do then?

Yes they did, thats correct, only the staff in your security team appear on your fobs. Example someone invade your R&D platform and your defense failed, he reached the core, he will be stealing 10 random staff that is not under direct contract from that R&D unit, that's the only chance you could lose some staff in that particular unit.

And example, let say I invade your fob intel platform, the guards that I can find in your intel platform is the staff from your security team, I won't be able to find anyone in your intel team to fulton, unless the infiltration is successful then I get to "touch" 10 of your intel staff.

One other interesting thing is command platform, when someone infiltrate your command platform and he reached the core, he will be stealing 10 random soldier from different unit.

Go ahead, but there will only be 10 sausages when you reached the core lol, all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ were locked under direct contract though. The combat and support platform have plenty of S++, things that I going to lose is all sausages anyway so I wouldn't care :x.

But for S++ we both should focus on invading No_Quarter though, he have like 4 digits of them. LOL

Well, since their all a reflection of the Fearsome Bug, I guess all the the sausages will be VIenna Sausage!

Actually that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clarifying how all of that works.

So depending on whether the infiltrator focuses on fultoning my Security staff on duty, or going for the platform core staff (or both), that is who is at risk of being abducted.

So I guess I should just keep all units evenly covered. For now at least.

Thanks again!
