How to Unload Supplies in Broken Arrow
Written by Jason B.
If your supply truck isn’t repairing or rearming units in the game Broken Arrow, the issue is almost always that you haven’t unloaded the cargo. Trucks do not work until you manually deploy the supplies.
Step-by-Step: Unloading Supplies
Just calling in a truck isn’t enough.
When you select a supply truck, press U to unload its cargo. This creates a visible supply zone on the ground.
Units inside this zone will begin to repair or rearm, only if they are idle and not moving or fighting.
If you press U and nothing happens, check that the truck was actually loaded with supplies when you bought it.
How to Load Supplies When Calling In
When purchasing a supply truck, look at the right side of the call-in screen.
Click the supply cargo icon to fill the truck. You can click it multiple times to increase how much it carries, usually up to 1000 units.
If you forget to do this, the truck will show up empty and won’t do anything even if you unload it.
Things That Stop Repairs
Trucks still holding supplies (not unloaded)
Units moving or fighting
Calling in empty trucks
You can also move damaged units into an already unloaded supply zone if they weren’t inside it when it dropped.
Final Blurb
Unloading supplies is the key to repairs in Broken Arrow. If nothing’s happening, press U, double-check your cargo, and keep units still. Most of the time, the fix is one button away.
