Convoy Missions | Forums

So, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Since open beta, the original intent of my build was to act as an artificial heavy for my team, the sort of person that could spray and pray the vehicles away without a huge amount of difficulty. This however, requires a great deal of food in order to max out VHC destruction. Much to my surprise though, I can't seem to come across many convoy missions that actually carry food, and the few I do, aren't even food. Last one I'd just completed, was marked as a food truck, but rewarded gasoline.

I could probably understand the idea of each convoy having their own internal timer for either their resource or otherwise, but if this is the case, what's the point of it? I can't imagine finding any joy in spending my time securing a vehicle of some sort, traveling 4km in one direction to extract one convoy, only to find out that the very resource that I need, the only resource I'd bother to do that for, is a lie. Why is this the case? Why do I need to waste my time for something I already have 26k of, while the resource I need is sitting at 1.5k? Am I just missing something here?

The convoys will reset if you die or fail the mission, sometimes this will result in them changing their resource type as they reset when you reload. I have not have an issue of a resource being shown on the map as a Food convoy and actually being another resource, though have had some glitchy convoys before. Some convoys have had 2 trucks and no escorts, some convoys are parked idly in a roadway with nothing obstructing them. If you haven't maxed out your skills yet then even resources you have 40k of will deplete fast once you are using 10k resources for one skill upgrade so it isn't a waste to gather an abundance of each resource.

To the former, I can understand it to that point, but I'd made sure to not give that last convoy a reason to change.

Then I don't know what to tell you. Submit it as a bug but be sure to include pictures of what the map says the convoy is compared to what they resource gained was. You can also tell what kind of resource will be given by the type of vehicle driven in the convoy so look for that if you feel the resource types don't match.
