How do you get supply pallets to a FOB in WARDOGS?

Four pallets, and each refills one stock

A FOB keeps four separate supply stocks, and a pallet carries exactly one of them. Bring the wrong kind and the FOB cannot use it for what it is short of — a Build pallet will not reload a mortar. The four rows below are the game files’ own: the same $400 price and the same 1,800 supplies each, and the same in-game warning that a pallet “will be destroyed by high-speed impacts (approx. 90m free-fall max.)”.

From the garage to the FOB

This is the loop All Things How describes in its 14 September guide, with the 11 September guide’s detail on the buy screen. Pallets are not sold at the equipment vendor: they are bought into a vehicle that can carry them.

1. 01

   Buy a cargo vehicle

   At the VEHICLE VENDOR, take the URAL from the LAND tab. It carries two pallets. The Humvee and Kodiak variants take smaller containers; the buggy and Bobcat are for passengers.

2. 02

   Open the logistics screen at the garage

   Drive into the garage and open the GARAGE VENDOR, then LOGISTICS → PALLETS. Seated in the truck inside the buy area, the on-screen prompt is “B BUY AMMO / SUPPLIES”.

3. 03

   Pick the supply the FOB is short of

   Build, Ammo, Fuel or Mechanical. They are not interchangeable, so ask the FOB first.

4. 04

   Drive to a FOB your team is using

   Plan the route on the map first and stop short of contact. A FOB next to the active Control Zone, or one with mortars and emplacements, burns through what you bring.

5. 05

   Drop inside the zone, then UNLOAD SUPPLIES

   Drop each pallet inside the FOB’s marked zone, interact with it and choose UNLOAD SUPPLIES. The whole pallet goes into the FOB’s stock in one action, and a teammate can finish it if you are killed.

Pallets or large crates?

A pallet holds slightly more than a large crate, but a truck bed takes twice as many crates — so crates win on volume and pallets win on time. All Things How’s 11 September comparison puts it in one table. A pallet unloads with one hold of interact; a crate has to be opened, emptied into a backpack and walked into the FOB, over and over, while you stand next to a parked truck. The Large Supply Crate is also a Driver-track unlock: the Season 1 changelog moved it from Driver 20 to Driver 16, and the game files price that unlock at $20,000.

• Crates when the road is quiet, the FOB is behind the line and someone is free to carry backpacks.
• Pallets when the FOB is forward, the road is watched, or you are flying.
• Free-fall limits differ: about 90 m for a pallet, about 60 m for a large crate and 80 m for the armoured one, per the in-game text.

What a delivered pallet pays

No BULKHEAD text prints a payout for logistics. All Things How’s 14 September guide reports $2,500 when a pallet reaches a friendly FOB, and a further $1,800 when it is unloaded and used, for a net of $3,900 per $400 pallet — and supply-assist payments afterwards, each time teammates draw on the stock. Treat the second figure with care: $1,800 is also exactly the pallet’s supply count in the game files, and no other source this site has read prints a cash reward for unloading. The same guide’s one full match of ammunition runs ended $140,582 up ($148,775 earned, $27,700 spent, $719 refunded). That is one player’s match, not a rate.

Update 0.1.2: deliver inside the zone

Update 0.1.2 on 30 September 2026 changed one thing about pallets, in BULKHEAD’s words: “Depositing pallets into a FOB outside the zone now awards reduced rewards.” It came in a list of exploit fixes, and the notes publish no figure for how much is cut. The practical rule is the one the guides already gave: drop the pallet inside the FOB’s marked zone.

Why a delivery did not count

The guides list the same few causes, and none of them is a bug:

• It landed outside the FOB’s zone. One guide says a pallet a few metres outside cannot be loaded back onto the vehicle.
• It fell too far, or hit too fast. The in-game text puts the limit at about 90 m of free fall; a broken pallet may still show the delivery, but the FOB cannot use it.
• The FOB is already full of that supply type.
• The vehicle cannot carry that container size, or the truck is parked so the bed is blocked.
• Nobody uses the FOB. An untouched pallet is a delivery and nothing more.

What is not established

No source checked for this page — BULKHEAD’s included — publishes the following:

• Any official payout for delivering or unloading a pallet, or how much Update 0.1.2 reduced the off-zone reward.
• Which helicopters count as “large” for cargo, beyond reports of the UH-1 dropping pallets.
• Whether the $400 price and 1,800 supplies are current: the extraction names no build.
• The controller button for the logistics screen and for UNLOAD SUPPLIES.
