FM/BG-461.V2.00 - What is Combat Fatigue
Combat Fatigue balances slot allocation by adjusting the accessible time of different slots across ORBATs based on an individuals past activity and is applied to each tier (combat area) separately, it's purpose is to ensure fairer distribution of available slots. In short, the more active you are the more it will build up and delay your access to slots.
When viewing an ORBAT before release and during the Fatigue period, the ORBAT will display instead the time in UTC in which the slot will be accessible to you based on your own Combat Fatigue.
Fatigue is designed to address the following primary unintended behaviours of the Dynamic ORBAT System that will increase fairness;
- To give new members of UNITAF priority access to Core Infantry slots (by virtue of them being less fatigued)
- To spread wider access to specialist and lower supply slots by fatiguing regular deployees in favour of those at the same Tier/Experience
- Millisecond slot rushing on ORBAT release, by spreading slotting over the opening 15 minutes of an ORBAT.
