CALLER & OPERATORS
Agree on A → B → C. Report readiness, activate on the call and announce when the plan breaks.
FIELD TACTICS / COMMUNITY STRATEGY
The three-way drill meta uses three fueled drills inside one FOB. Rotate their activations to keep bringing the Hot Zone back to the same defended base.

01 / HOW IT WORKS
Build and fuel three drills inside the same FOB, then coordinate an A → B → C activation order. All three support the same base: operators manage the handover while logistics supplies fuel and teammates defend the position. Community reports describe this style of multi-drill rotation.

A drill changes where you fight. Teammates still need to occupy and defend the Hot Zone. Read the objective guide →
ONE FOB / THREE FUELED DRILLS
A starts the example. Check B’s readiness while teammates defend the position.

02 / RECOMMENDED SETUP
These are planning recommendations, not an optimal layout or a fixed build order for every map.
Plan the FOB →Before building, agree on a position inside the active Control Zone. Look for cover, a usable supply approach and space for infantry. A convenient drill position is not automatically a useful objective position.
Place all three drills within the same base’s build area and bring fuel for the rotation. Use the existing FOB and hammer requirements. Keep drill controls reachable and the delivery lane open. Recommended: leave separation between important structures so one attack does not threaten everything at once.
Label the drills A, B and C. Have one caller coordinate the rotation. Check each drill’s actual status before calling the next activation; do not start all three together.
Have logistics report fuel stock and the next delivery. Defenders keep watching approaches while operators watch the controls. If the next drill is unavailable, call it early and respond to the Hot Zone’s actual location.
03 / SPLIT THE WORK
Agree on A → B → C. Report readiness, activate on the call and announce when the plan breaks.
Keep fuel deliveries coming, check stored resources and maintain access for supplies and repairs.
Watch the approaches and report enemy pressure. Stay involved in the objective instead of everyone watching a drill terminal.
04 / BREAK THE CYCLE
Community players report using supply-route ambushes, mortar pressure and coordinated raids against drill FOBs. Success depends on cover, defenses and the squad carrying out the attack. Read the discussion ↗
Scout before committing. Identify the supply approach and exposed structures, then agree on one target and a covered route. Coordinate pressure with teammates who can contest the objective.
Check who benefits if you stop the drill. Keep watching the map and team presence; committing everyone to a raid can leave another faction free to take the objective.
Announce the missed handover, check the Hot Zone and redirect teammates. Save the next activation for a position the team can actually support.
