Match breakdown: pallets by Ural
We put the best strategy on paper to the test: the whole match was spent hauling pallets by Ural and unloading every one by hand at a FOB in the Control Zone. Here’s how it went.
The match
Section titled “The match”- 4 October 2026, Season 1.
- About 42 minutes — a short one: the green team held the initiative all match and won 100 : 3 : 1. Our team came 2nd.
- No deaths all match, and two teammates revived.
- One Ural was the only vehicle; the only spending was the truck and pallets. That made 5 trips of 2 pallets.
Economy summary
Section titled “Economy summary”| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2nd place + contribution | +$8,400 |
| Money spent | −$9,000 |
| Money earned | +$49,990 |
| Cash refunded | $0 |
| Total profit | +$46,873 |
The balance went from $21,640 to $68,513 — exactly the total profit. The summary lines add up to $49,390; the game’s results screen doesn’t explain the $2,517 difference.
Where the money came from
Section titled “Where the money came from”The spending breaks down exactly: Ural $5,000 + 10 pallets at $400 = $9,000 — 5 trips of 2 pallets. Add up the payouts for those 10 pallets and you get almost all of “Money earned”:
| Source | Maths | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Pallets: delivery + unloading by hand | 10 × ($2,500 + $1,800) | $43,000 |
| Revives in the Control Zone | 2 × $800 | $1,600 |
| Presence ticks in the zone | ≈ 34 × $160 | ≈ $5,400 |
| Total | ≈ $50,000 |
This is our reconstruction from the spending and known payouts — the game shows $49,990. Pallets made almost 90% of the income.
Per hour
Section titled “Per hour”≈ $67,000 profit an hour ($46,873 in ~42 minutes). That’s exactly the low end of our estimate for the Ural ($67,000–94,000). Spotting as Recon earned more in our match — ≈ $77,000 an hour (breakdown).
One round trip with unloading and time spent in the zone took about 8 minutes.
Bear in mind the match was short: in a long, even match (up to two hours) the same strategy earns noticeably more — pallets pay the same all match long.
What we learned
Section titled “What we learned”- Unloading at a FOB in the Control Zone pays the same $1,800 as in the Hot Zone, plus 180 XP. No need to push into the Hot Zone just to unload.
- A 5× return: $9,000 spent turned into $46,873 profit.
- Minimal risk: no deaths, so no lost loadouts.
- Ticks keep coming while you’re in the zone. Unloading and building at the FOB keep you in the Control Zone, and $160 every ~22 seconds comes on top.
- Vehicles aren’t refunded. The Ural survived the match intact, yet “Cash refunded” was $0. The community talks about a 90% refund on surviving gear; judging by our match, that doesn’t cover vehicles.
- Progression: three tracks levelled in one match — Driver, Support and Medic.
How to repeat it
Section titled “How to repeat it”- Buy a Ural from the vehicle vendor at HQ — $5,000 (unlocks at Driver level 3).
- Grab pallets at $400 each. A Ural takes 2.
- Drive to a FOB in the Control Zone, avoiding main roads.
- Walk up to each pallet and pick Unload supplies (F) — another $1,800 per pallet. Dropping a pallet without unloading throws away almost half the payout.
- Between runs, help out in the zone: revive the wounded, repair structures — ticks keep coming while you’re there.
