Boxloader contruction

Boxloader uses deployable components and construction assets to enable field construction.

Construction requires two elements:

• Construction assets
  • Used to build deployed components
  • Available in regular and advanced variants
  • Advanced assets are required for larger structures such as HESCO barriers and TEMPER tent floors
• Construction components
  • Includes items such as sandbags, barbed wire, tent sections, and HESCO barriers
  • Usually transported in a packed state
  • Can be moved, positioned, and configured using the interaction menu

When handling construction components:

• Be aware that carried objects retain physical simulation
• Avoid moving components through personnel or vehicles
• Confirm positioning before construction begins

Once components are positioned:

• Ensure no further adjustments are required
• Place a construction asset within approximately 10 metres
• Use the appropriate build action to complete construction

Completed structures cannot normally be removed or repositioned.

• Select a construction site that supports the intended defensive plan
• Position construction components according to the design
• Verify alignment and placement before construction
• Use an appropriate construction asset to build the structure
• Confirm completed fortifications provide the intended protection and fields of fire

Boxloader provides a range of structures that can be grouped according to their purpose.

Defensive Perimeter

• HESCO Barriers
  • Available in multiple heights
  • Suitable for rapidly establishing protected perimeters
  • Faster to deploy on a large scale than sandbags
• Concertina Wire
  • Restricts infantry movement
  • Effective when combined with barriers, obstacles, or kill zones

Defensive Positions

• Sandbags
  • Provide individual protection
  • Suitable for fighting positions, overhead cover, and reinforcement
• Wood Walls and Platforms
  • Enable elevated firing positions
  • Can be combined with other fortifications to create layered defences

Tents and Facilities

• Maintenance Enclosure
  • High-clearance shelter suitable for vehicle maintenance
• TEMPER Tent System
  • Modular tent system consisting of connectable sections
  • Supports construction of facilities of varying sizes
  • Compatible with accessories such as lighting, vestibules, and medical signage

Construction assets require a nearby construction vehicle or tool before structures can be built.

Common construction assets include:

• Toolbox
  • Basic construction asset
  • Can be transported in most Boxloader cargo systems
• Advanced Construction Vehicles
  • Required for larger structures such as HESCO barriers and TEMPER tent floors
  • Most repair vehicles qualify as advanced construction assets

Ensure the appropriate construction asset is available before transporting components to the construction site.

Construction projects should be planned before deployment, particularly when building large compounds or defensive positions.

Key considerations:

• Use terrain effectively
  • Take advantage of elevated positions and existing structures
  • Ensure sufficient flat ground for construction
• Consider surrounding terrain
  • Use natural obstacles such as rivers or steep slopes
  • Avoid locations overlooked by nearby high ground or concealed approaches
• Maintain access
  • Consider proximity to roads and supply routes where regular access is required
  • Avoid creating predictable approaches to defensive positions
• Partition the site
  • Separate key facilities to reduce the effects of attack or accidents
  • Use barriers and walls to limit blast effects and line of sight between sensitive areas

Repair facilities and repair vehicles provide maintenance and recovery capability for damaged vehicles.

Key considerations:

• Position repair assets where damaged vehicles can reach them easily
• Ensure sufficient space for vehicle recovery and maintenance
• Avoid locations exposed to enemy observation or indirect fire
• Establish forward repair capability when supporting mechanised or armoured forces

Repair vehicles provide mobile maintenance support and can move with the supported force as the situation changes.

Specific repair facilities and repair vehicles available may vary depending on the mission setting and enabled mods.
