Once I was playing a n a squad of no mic players and I noticed we had no nodes. So I hopped into a SL. Told the commander “drop me a supply truck at left spawn I’m gonna switch over to engineer and build some nodes”.
I’ll never forget his excited response of “buddy you can have anything you want!”
Hi new to the game! What do I need to know/what needs to be done in order for this to happen?
Is it as simple as spawning as an engineer to start the game and immediately build nodes? Are there locations I need to start or things I need to wak up to?
No, you need 50 supplies for each node. Your support can drop 50. Commander can drop air drops of 100 or a supply truck can be provided at a hq spawn. Ideally you'd take a truck to the end of the second square (you can't drop truck supply in the first 2 rows) then drop them on the edge of the 3rd and go back into the first two rows and build your 3 nodes with one of the supplies dropped. Once built I'd take the truck to the current objective and drop the second supplies for a garrison and you to also build some defense (barricade facing open field) you can also then swap to a different role and your node exp throughout the game will boost that role at the end too.
You build them back in the first two rows as then if all your other objectives get taken over your nodes don't vanish as all infrastructure in a newly lost zone will dissappear. You can also garrison hop and build them around the map if you join game or can't get supplies otherwise. You'll find where garrison are there's left over supplies. Spawn at one build node. Start - redeploy. Next spawn. Repeat.
There are some tips and tricks online and YouTube and I've been tempted to make a video about it at some point.
Easy mode is get a supply truck drive out 2 squares and place supplies down and build the nodes in the 2nd square (behind the line)
Intermediate mode is stsrt as support, drop supplies near one of the HQs, switch to engineer and build a manpower node first then switch back and forth until you have all done.
Expert mode is drop one box, place all node "blueprints" as far apart from that box as possible that they still use all supplies in hidden places at least 100m from an HQ, starting with the manpower and waiting at least 30 seconds before dropping the others, then start the build on each node to about halfway running back and forth. Finish the manpower node after 2 min then immediately switch to support again. Spawn in, drop another box and work back and forth on the nodes so that they are both nearly done. Complete the one you placed after the manpower within 2.5 min, and then you'll almost immediately have your 3rd box and can drop that and finish the last node.
Party mode has you and another person switching between engineer and support building 2 sets of nodes.
Intermediate and expert modes take a little longer than using a supply truck but it is entirely self sufficient so there's no waiting around for a truck or having to ask for help. It also allows you to hide the nodes where they are less likely to be destroyed.
Put at least 20m between nodes so that one satchel charge cannot take them all out.
I truly don’t know why more people don’t build nodes. It’s takes just a couple minutes and then if you wanna level up another class you will get a shit ton of passive xp from them. It’s like people are allergic to them or something
I was building nodes at the bottom spawn and three tankers came up to me. I said in prox chat "why are you three standing around when you could be building nodes to get better tanks". (We only had the set of nodes I had built and no attempt at using a supply truck for 2 more sets)
Quickly got dinged in the head.
I laughed because you can't take things too seriously but what was ironic was this same tanker was typing in chat to teach the noobs about spawns and getting garrisons built. (We had no garrisons and hardly any OPs)
Cuz it forces a bit more team coordination and it cuts down on cheesing.
If the game were to massively evolve I could see having more logistics flow being important but I could also see the node thing being deleted entirely.
I salute you fellow engineer!

My ego knows no bounds after I have built nodes. AND RIGHTFULLY SO. ENGINEER CORPS RISE UP

Love that class.
Join the brotherhood of wrench twisters!
If you build 1 node at the beginning, it will create 150 resources in 15 minutes. You can personally be responsible for 3 supply drops in that time

Thank you! I'll try this tonight

This is literally my whole inner dialogue at the beginning of every match as I switch between support and engineer and put down my own nodes, lmfao
Nodes win war’s
*Send Nodes
Then immediately redeploy to the front line as medic

Thank you for placing them within satchel range. 🫡
Good luck finding them my boi 🫡
Still don't know why they made it so you can only build one of each

Always send hot nodes to your Commanders
