I am in debt because of the FOBies!?

[\[T]/ Praise It \[T]/]

I did some FOBies and the levels of bases are around 13lvl and i infiltrated them without being seen but at the end i didn't earn any volunteers plus i earn -41k GMP!! Why does it keep happening? Is it a bug or something. Thanks for your replies in advance.

Cut your deployment costs. Unequip everything on your helicopter so its just the basic, take only what you need.

Also you most likly invaded a low level FOB, they dont give much gmp.

I think the amount of GMP you earn is tied to the speed you finish the infiltration, and your GMP will always be in the negative if you fultoned a lot of materials. The materials you Fulton is worthy much more than what you spent fultoning though, so just sell them back to recuperate costs. In fact, you can make about 500k GMP by selling everything you stole.

Btw i think the big gun placements are useless in FOBies what do you think about that? I mean they can't shoot you with them and the enemy can stole them and they cost much.

I thought motherbase GMP can't go into minus because of FOB. Aren't FOB "goods" supposed to be disconnected from motherbase?

there will come a point soon enough that u dont want to extract any more resources, the way i see it. most higher players have 100k's of everything basicly
also if you're gonna run some fobs just sell some stuff to make sure u dont go into the red all day long :)
5 mil buffers do wonders

You don't place anything else than mortars on higher tier(rank 1-30). Everything else than mortars just favors the enemy more than you. You can even trick the AI to just mindless run to an AA or LMG and kill them one after another.(which makes it kinda easy to kill the defender)

And I don't talk about a ~5min roll into to the core without a defender. If there is a defender in it every placed weapon besides a mortar will get the invader an edge.

He's talking about the deployment cost at the end. If you extract a lot of containers or whatever it can mean you actually lose money for infiltrating.

Whats loss in short term is gain in long term , whatever you foulton can be sold , recources too , Biological material and minor metals seam to pileup a lot and i constantly sell them when they go over 100k , its my nr 1 money gain even bigger then rare metals

Well, 3 things here:
1) if you are gona ivnade Fob at the beginning screen where oyu pick a platform to invade you see in the bottom left corner how much GMP, and Volunteers you get. The GMP are msotly tied to the level of the FOB, the Volunteers are mostly connected to your Espionage rnak in comparison with the enemies. (e.g. when my espionage rnak was still low nad i retaliated against someone aroudn 20k ranks higher I got 20 Volunteers for inavding a 3 Platform FOB, now I get liek 12-16 for a fully upgarded 4 platform FOB).

2) The Big Anti-Air emplacements on FOB's don't actually exsit. they are spawned automatically (as are msot of the mortars and other stuff). And if you steal them they will give score, but they will NOT show up in your resrouces tab, because they were only temporarily there. And if you get higher elvel guards the guards WILL use emplacements.

3) as for why your costs are in the red, look closer at the screen oyu get with rewards. was it due to to high deployment costs, or did just the support cost push you into the -? If it#s the support cost it doesn#t matter, since that willbe for containers that contain Materials you can sell once processed. Smallest contianers 8whites) contain 750 Fuzel/BR/CM, 400 MM or 50 PM.
once processed those sell for 100/200/1000 respectively, so depending on the conatiner oyu get between 50-80k for the resoruces, with only 10k extarction cost.
