What's the point of certain platforms in FOB?

[Schäfer]

Why would someone infiltrate a certain platform over the other? I can picture Base Development having more cargo and resources to steal. Command platform has nukes and whatever else. What's the point of infiltrating support, intel, or medical?

If I level up platforms like Intel, do I get some kind of better information on someone infiltrating me or does it just help my single player intel leveling up?

Hope I explained it coherently.

Different platforms give you different static rewards, similar to a side ops mission. You can see them in the bottom left. Generally, they give volunteer staff based on the platform that was invaded; you get medical staff volunteers for invading a medical platform, for example. You also get a random resource and quite a bit of GMP.

Also another quick question since I can't find it with google. I'm trying to fast travel from a pickup location but the "E" icon is crossed out in red and won't let me fast travel.

On the FOB or out in the field? If the enemy is on alert or searching for you, it will be in red. It should work at all times at MB.

Hmmmm thanks, that makes sense. Oh and I guess fultoning the soldiers off certain platforms adds to that particular staff too? I am about lvl 50+ in all my single player platforms though. Is it even worth it to raid other bases for their staff? most of my guys are A++ and quite a bit of S.

I am in singlke player. They originally were searching but gave up the search. I've been waiting at the location forever and it just stays red.

All of the bases I can raid give me the opportunity for 5-10 S to B rank volunteers.

If a defender spawns in, the escape wormhole is blocked for a few minutes.

Try walking off the platform and going back on it. Try re-equipping the cardboard box. Make sure the enemy has given up the search, too. If they're moving around like they're looking for you, it won't work.

Each department offers different rewards for successful infiltration, as well as staff and volunteers from that department.

As for the actual platforms, building additional platforms for a department increases the staff limit and the rate at which resources are produced/refined. There's no way to skip platforms (attacker always spawns on the furthest platform from the goal).

I am understanding this more. Thanks.

To make sure I killed all soldiers in the area and then it worked. You were right.

If the outpost/facility is alert/suspicious, you can't fast travel.

You just necro'd this thread harder than Big Boss did in MG2.
