Update 23 brings lots of new content, a more unified persistent world, and a more continuous experience between wars. If you are enjoying these updates please take the time to leave a review on Steam. Also remember that Foxhole is currently 40% off!

Relic vehicles are unique vehicles left over from the Great Wars of the past that can be restored and used in the current war. The primary way to get Relic Vehicles is to find them in the world and excavate them. Keep in mind that these vehicles are really rare so don't expect to use them regularly.



Relic Vehicles can also be obtained by finding Blueprints. There is a random chance to find a Relic Vehicle Blueprint when gathering Components. There are 3 Relic Vehicles in Update 23 with more coming in Update 24 & 25. The set of Relic Vehicles available will rotate in each war.



ARMOURED FIGHTING TRACTOR
A Colonial tracked vehicle from the old era used for escorting infantry and larger armoured vehicles at the front. This vehicle acts as an early war light tank and a late war tank column escort. It can absorb a ton of damage and has a 100 round clip.



STORM TANK
An armoured mechanized vehicle from the Great Wars that was commonly used in wide line formations to overwhelm enemy forces. This vehicle is effective in wide Phalanx like formations. It's forward armor plating is extremely durable and it can move quickly in reverse.



REPURPOSED TRUCK
An old agricultural truck that has been repurposed for military use. This old supply line runner can carry up to 25 items, but is slightly slower and more frail than normal Trucks.



Reaching Trail and Great March have been merged into the mainland, creating a larger and more dynamic World Conquest map. Every region in the world of Foxhole is now connected, which means that you can traverse from any point in any region to any other point in any other region.



REACHING TRAIL & GREAT MARCH
Design changes have been made to these two maps to connect them to the mainland. In the north, Reaching Trail now has travel connections to Mooring County, Callahan's Passage, and Weathered Expanse and in the south, Great March now connects to Westgate, Heartlands, and Umbral Wildwood.



The Resistance Phase is a new phase of the conflict that closes the loop between wars. When World Conquest ends, instead of switching to Skirmish Mode (which is now gone), the conflict continues in the same persistent world. In the Resistance Phase, the side that lost World Conquest will convert to the Resistance Faction.



When the Resistance Phase starts, several things will happen. First, the Resistance faction will gain access to a new structure called the Resistance Camp, which is essentially a mini-FOB that can be built without a Construction Vehicle. Second, for a short duration after the Resistance Phase starts, Uprisings will occur at random towns in the world, which results in the Town Hall and Garrisoned Houses being flipped to the Resistance faction (defenses will be disabled as well). Finally, the Tech Tree will slowly decline, resulting in vehicles, structures, and weapons becoming Lost Technology. Keep in mind that Resistance Phase is VERY EXPERIMENTAL and BARE BONES at this point. We hope to expand on it in the future. For details on the motivations behind Resistance Phase and on where it's heading, read the latest Devblog.

The majority of this update is dedicated to addressing player feedback regarding logistics tools, quality of life, and addressing recent griefing issues. We've also introduced a new experimental win condition for World Conquest to mix things up! If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to leave us a review on Steam.

Several new features have been introduced to help users play a more effective and fun logistics game.

MAP TOOLS
Players will now be able to hover over Bases, Factories, Refineries, and other objects on the map screen to get detailed information about their status. This will allow logistics players to improve their production efficiency and make informed decisions on what needs to be supplied where. For example, hovering over a Base will show the content's of it's stockpile and hovering over a Factory will show the progress of it's facilities.



STOCKPILE LOG
The stockpile log will show all critical retrievals and submissions that happen at a stockpile. This log will allow players to monitor activity at a base. Clicking on a log entry will open up a contextual menu that can allow you to perform various actions on the player associated with each transaction, including commending and/or reporting.



GLOBAL OPERATIONS
Global operations that are not coupled to any single region can now be created. This will allow players from multiple regions to collaborate on global tasks like logistics. In addition, all operations are now visible from any region.



Based on player feedback, we've added numerous quality of life improvements to help address some of the pain points in the game's interface.

INTERACT CONTEXT MENU
Pressing 'Shift-E' will now bring up a menu that lets players select exactly which item/structure they want to interact with when they are within the vicinity of more than one. For items, the size of the stack is shown in the menu. The days of having to pick up multiple items just to keep one are over.



STOCKPILE SORTING
Items that are actually stocked in a stockpile are now displayed at the top of the grid. This should reduce the average amount of scrolling required to retrieve items.



AMMO COUNT DISPLAY
When hovering over an item in your inventory, if the item is a weapon that consumes ammo, the quantity of remaining ammo is now shown. It's no longer necessary to equip each item just to find the one that is usable.



BLEEDING STATUS ICON
A status icon is now displayed on the HUD, indicating when the player is in the bleeding state. This should help reduce the number of cases where a player did not know they were in danger of dying from wounds.



This update will introduce a new experimental win condition to the game. To claim a victory town, a Civic Center facility must first be built at that town's base. Furthermore, each region now has a single "Capital City" victory town instead of multiple ones. This will hopefully reduce the linear grind required at the end of a war and will help concentrate the final conflict.



In addition to the highlight features above, we've made many other improvements and tweaks:

• All chat channel can now be muted
  
• Motorboats are now available to build in any region with shores
  
• New tools for the moderators
  
• Additional server optimization

The next World Conquest begins at Thursday, Feb 21st at 11AM EST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjvPzcGfiUE

The Motorboat provides a versatile, fast form of infantry transport across water. This lightweight vessel allows players to easily hop between islands and cross rivers without needing a Shipyard. Built at any shore on the island regions, the Motorboat is incredibly flexible, capable of driving through destroyed bridges and underneath built ones.



The theatre of war over water has gotten a major revamp. We've redesigned all 3 island regions, connected them to the mainland, and added new mechanics to make the islands strategically vital to the war.

WATER SUPPLY LINES
Players can now freely travel between all island regions and the mainland. This means that vehicles and supplies can be ferried from the islands to the mainland and there will be more opportunities for cross region amphibious invasions. With the inclusion of the new Salvage Mines on the islands (see below), it's even more important to secure a supply line over water.



REDESIGNED ISLAND REGIONS
The island regions have been redesigned to encourage more amphibious assaults within and between regions. We've tightened the distance between shores on Oarbreaker Isles and Fisherman's Row and added major port towns that can be used as offshore logistics bases.



These are special variants of Scrap Mines that gather Upgrade Parts instead of Scrap. With a new source of Upgrade Parts available, there is an opportunity to build more Facilities in the early part of the war without sacrificing progress on the Tech Tree. However, since Salvage Mines are currently only located on the Island Regions, a supply line must be setup over water in order to take advantage of this.



In addition to the highlight features above, we've made many other improvements and tweaks:

• Text chat window can be minimized
  
• Garrisoned Church structure has been completely redesigned
  
• Status icon is now shown on the HUD indicating when your character is hidden in foliage
  
• Server optimizations

The biggest update in Foxhole history is live! The entire game has been revamped with a Visual Overhaul, World Redesign, Urban Warfare, and full fledged end game content like Battle Tanks and Ballistic Rocket super weapons.

Welcome to the new Foxhole...

https://youtu.be/FKWCmW6h1I8

Fully realized town environments that have been built from the ground up, taking urban combat to a new level. Players can now enter the interior of buildings to take cover or climb on top of ruined houses to gain a high ground advantage, resulting in prolonged street battles. Abandoned buildings can be garrisoned and built into mortar emplacements or outposts, providing even more tactical options for town sieges.



MORTAR EMPLACEMENT HOUSE
A fixed Mortar built on top of a house that can be used to directly target and fire at attackers during a siege.



SAFE HOUSE
Special Garrisoned Houses in towns that act as support bases in the case of a siege.



The heaviest armored vehicle to date, the Battle Tank requires a crew of 5 to operate and a strong supply line to deploy effectively. This devastating machine of war introduces the unique role of the tank engineer, that is tasked with repairing and ammunition management.



LANCE-36
Tested and iterated and meticulously designed in the heart of the Velian capital of Damokratos, the Lance is the absolute workhorse of the storied Colonial armour division. Each bolt inspected with utter perfection. Every gear carefully calibrated, greased and maintained. Additional plates of armour were added after identifying several distinct vulnerabilities. Its Weight, speed, and ballistics are designed and produced with rigorous efficiency. Despite fleeting Warden efforts to plagerise the design, there isn’t another vehicle so capable as the Lance; There isn’t another army like the Colonial Legion. Both are destined for glory.



FLOOD MK-1
When Cormac Flood designed this, the Warden’s newest armour, they knew it needed to compete with what was, at the time, a far more versatile Colonial assault division. During the burnout of the Great Wars, Flood tore apart an abandoned Colonial Lance. With new knowledge gained, he applied his skill as craftsman and engineer to design a vehicle that was more efficacious and could out-maneuver or out-gun anything the Colonials could throw at it.



AMMUNITION FACTORY
New unique factories have been added to the world that are capable of producing specialized shells for tanks. Factions that capture and hold these strategic objectives in the world will be able to add high explosive, armor piercing, and shrapnel tank shells to their arsenal.

Reactivate ancient Ballistic Rocket Sites in the world. These end game super weapons demand the highest level of team effort to achieve, requiring logistics, recon, and combat roles to all work together. Rockets are capable of leveling entire towns, permanently changing the landscape of war.

For more information on how the Rockets Function, see this fantastic walkthrough video from community member I Saw A Bear:
https://youtu.be/hrMJ6WKcmW8



Every square kilometer of the world has been recreated with higher fidelity assets, improved lighting, and densely populated environments, creating a richer battlefield.



In addition to the highlight features above, we've made numerous other changes in this sweeping update.

• Tier 2 Sandbag Walls for fortifying urban environments
  
• New Dynamic Camera system that zooms for a strategic view
  
• Radio Backpack now automatically generates map intelligence
  
• New Garrisoned Building features like mountable windows

Don't forget to follow the Foxhole Youtube Channel and Twitter Feed for the latest news on upcoming updates.

Fuel can now be processed into Refined Fuel at the Refinery. This new resource is a more efficient version of fuel, which will help drive high consumption vehicles like Armoured Cars and Light Tanks.

In addition, Refined Fuel can be used at the new Advanced Mining Facility, which is now available to build at Scrap and Sulfur Mines. This will enable resource Heaps to be produced, which are higher yield orders of Scrap and Sulfur. Claiming and building Advanced Mining Facilities will significantly increase resource output near the front.

In future updates, Refined Fuel will be used to power new advanced vehicles and structures.





The trajectory indicator for grenades has been improved. It now clearly shows when the trajectory is obstructed by the environment or other objects.





The internals of the game have been updated with a newer version of the Unreal Engine. This will enable future optimizations and improvements to the game.

Beware: Sniper Rifles have also been added to World Conquest in this update.

Don't forget to follow the Foxhole Youtube Channel and Twitter Feed for the latest news on upcoming updates.

Our goal is to continue to deliver regular content and feature updates on a monthly basis. If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to write us a review. Thanks for continuing to support the development of Foxhole.



Prepare for our first Halloween exclusive game mode, The Undead Harvest! Play as the undead or survive against them! Watch the video below to get all the details on this limited time event.

https://youtu.be/kO9_5JBILVo


The event goes live on Thursday at 11AM EDT and will last for a week. The devs will be joining the Dead Harvest when it starts so this will also be your chance to play with the team!

After the event goes live, it will be accessible from the Travel Map screen.





A long anticipated weapon has arrived! The Sniper Rifle is a scoped, bolt action firearm that has extreme range, high accuracy, and one shot kill damage. While this may seem overpowered, it also has some trade offs. It's heavier than most other small arms, has a slow rate of fire, and takes a very long time achieve a steady aim.

Initially, the Sniper Rifle will only be available in Skirmish and the Dead Harvest event. Based on your feedback, we may consider adding this to World Conquest in the future.





We're adding some new tools to help logistics players work together and manage their supply chains more effectively. First, Factory orders can now have three permissions:

• Private - You can pick up this order
  
• Squad Only - Squad members can pick up this order
  
• Faction Wide - Faction members can pick up this order

The Factory screen has tabs that show production queues for all three categories. This allows collaborating players to see each other's orders and schedule their orders accordingly. The number of available inventory slots for Factories has also been increased, allowing for more crates to be left behind for others to use.

Finally, the same permission system also applies to Resource Mines, which will allow Scrap and Sulfur Mines to be operated communally as previously requested by players.



There are a bunch of other improvements, changes, and bug fixes in this update. Read the full release notes for the details: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/10/24/018-Release-Notes

Our goal is to continue to deliver regular content and feature updates on a monthly basis. If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to write us a review. Thanks for continuing to support the development of Foxhole.

Due to the complexity of Foxhole, whenever we make big updates to the game like this there is always the risk that we break something or introduce new problems. Please let us know on Discord or Reddit if you encounter any issues. We’re always open to feedback and conversation :)



Facilities can now be constructed at certain world structures to extend their functionality. For example, Garrison Facilities can be added to Forward Operating Bases to allow non decaying structures to be built nearby. When Facilities are built, new visuals are added to the structure to indicate the new functionality. This currently only happens on the redesigned structures like the Refinery and Factory, but it's a feature that will eventually come to all structures. In the future we hope to add new facility types to enable even more customization to structures.





We've made many changes to the economy that we hope will enable more choice, progression, and dynamic situations for players. Instead of having logistics predefined by the level designer, players are now free to choose where their logistics centers are and when they will be there. Every single town in the game now has an industrial wing that can be built up for production, refinement, and storage. This allows players to define their own supply lines and to make strategic decisions on whether to risk having their logistics power closer to the front or to slowly build up safely behind friendly lines. We've also redesigned the logistics structure assets as part of our ongoing visual refresh.



To support this new economy, new resources have been introduced. Tech Parts now refine into Research Parts, which are used to advance the Tech Tree, and Upgrade Parts, which are used to build Facilities.



For the first time since the start of the project, we’ve done a complete redesign of the user interface. Our goal was to preserve the utilitarian and immersive nature of the existing UI, while adding in flexibility for future expandability and improving the overall cohesiveness and visual polish. In short, we wanted to make it easier for us to add new gameplay and quality of life features in the future (the old UI architecture often made it difficult to make any changes) and also to add a new coat of paint to the visuals. We’ve been very cautious, but let us know if any workflows have been broken and we can fix them in future updates.



Improvement Highlights

• Item Categories - Tabs to organize item categories on Production and Stockpile screens.
  
• Faster Item Retrieval - The stockpile screen no longer closes when retrieving items.
  
• Factory Screen - One screen displays all production information so all orders and queues can be managed in one place. Items can now be individually removed from an order before submission without the need to cancel the entire order first.
  
• Structure Build Screen - Build menu is now located on the bottom of the screen, leaving more space on screen for placement planning.
  
• HUD - HUD elements have been pushed to the corners of the screen, removing the clutter from the player's view of the world.

This is a new logistics structure that acts as a staging area for produced items at major logistics centers. It behaves like a “stockpile for crates”. Initially this will be useful at Port Bases, where produced crates can be efficiently stored until a supply line driver can come by pick them up. This essentially allows producers to be decoupled from delivery and generally allows for more logistics flexibility and planning.





You will now be able to mark other players you meet on the battlefield as friends. You can do this either through the ALT-click player context menu or via the operations player list. Friends are always displayed on the HUD player list so it’s easy to know when they are online and convenient to whisper to them.

We’ve seen many players share incredible war stories about meeting strangers on the battlefield and working with them to overcome incredible odds. Players will now be able to get in touch with these prior comrades in future wars.





Fisherman's Row has received a complete redesign and has been expanded to be a full conquest region. This will allow us to support more players in the Conquest during high population situations. Much like Great March and Reaching Trail, it will exist as a stand alone region but there are plans to connect it to the mainland via water travel in the future.



Land and sea are married in the new layout, with the inner body of water being surrounded by observation towers, so the more of the ring that either faction controls will directly affect the radio intelligence of their navy. Our hope is that this will lead to more pivotal naval engagements and exciting amphibious landings across the map’s many beaches.





Season 3 of the community run Foxhole Competition League starts this update. For this new season, a new custom map has been created that is tailor made for these events. To register a team, head to the FCL Discord.

• Forward Bases now leave behind a "husk" when destroyed that can be claimed by the enemy with Facilities intact
  
• Structure decay can be prevented by building a Garrison Facility at a nearby Base and stockpiling it with Garrison Supplies
  
• Garrison Timer has been removed and replaced with a requirement to build Garrison Facilities
  
• Bases now have a large fixed AI radius and Tunnel Networks are removed
  
• Local voice chat is now muted on the death screen
  
• Foliage visibility rules have changed to make it clearer when a player is hidden
  
• Port Base layouts have been redesigned for more efficient logistics
  
• Vehicles moving at slow speed can no longer be blocked by enemies

• Character jittering making it nearly impossible to hit players
  
• Players no longer spawn in unplayable areas during Home Region or Skirmish lobby rollovers
  
• Local voice chat is now muted on the death screen
  
• Water travel issues resulting in Amphibious vehicles getting onto land

There's a ton of other changes, game balance, and bug fixes! Refer to the release notes for all the details: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/09/26/017-Release-Notes

Due to the big changes in this update, we've also provided an FAQ to help clarify why certain changes have been made.

The next World Conquest starts on Thursday, Sep 27th at 11AM EDT.

Our goal is to continue to deliver regular content and feature updates on a monthly basis. If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to write us a review. Thanks for continuing to support the development of Foxhole.



Mines are a new world structure that provide a brand new way to gather resources. For a nominal amount of Fuel, Mines will gather raw resources automatically over time. Players can kick off an order of raw resources from Mines along a supply route on the way out and then pick them up on their way back. This won't replace Hammer gathering, but will allow logi players to increase their overall efficiency when multitasking.

Since this is a brand new mechanic, we hope to hear your feedback on how it works in the live environment and are open to making improvements to it in the future.





Player Operations is a brand new tool to help players organize and communicate. Operations are essentially a group of players that work towards an objective. Players in an Operation can also see each other in a persistent player list on the HUD and also share dedicated communication channels.

Speaking of communication, we've completely revamped in-game voice chat. Operations enable players to form a group voice chat in-game. In conjunction with this, we've also ripped out our old voice engine and have replaced it with Vivox, the industry standard technology for voice chat.



In the future, we hope to add even more features to Operations, such as dedicated roles. Give us your feedback on what you want to see added in future updates!



We've completely overhauled the combat mechanics in Foxhole. There's several key areas of improvements:

• Stability System - Player movement and shot recoil both significantly reduce the aim of a player, makes running and gunning tactics much less viable
  
• Damage Falloff Indicator - Aim line now fades out at the location where your weapon damage falls off, clarifying how far you can effectively shoot
  
• Aim Height Indicator - An additional orange line is now drawn to show exactly how far away from the ground the aim is, clarifying the target location
  
• Firing Range - The firing range (target dummies) on the Home Islands now provide additional stability and range statistics

In addition, we've reworked the stats every single small arms weapon to take the new Stability system in to account. We will be continuing to tune these weapons in future updates.

For a full breakdown on the new combat mechanics, read our latest Devblog.



There's been several big updates to the World in this update. First, the entire east coast of the Conquest mainline has been updated to support amphibious landings. Deadlands has been opened up to water travel as well which means you can now travel all the way from Farranac Coast to Endless Shore (through Deadlands) on a Barge for example.



Two regions in the world have been completely overhauled. Umbral Wildwood has been redesigned to include a shore so that amphibious landings can be made. Reaching Trail has also been completely revamped from the ground up and now offers a more balanced experience.



Every Conquest region has also been refreshed in some way, providing additional improvements. More natural barriers have been added to region borders to prevent free access to partisans. Certain towns have been pushed further from the region border.

• Bug that causes ammo to not refill after a reload animation has been fixed
  
• Tunnel Networks no longer decay
  
• Camera now dynamically moves ahead for the driver of a vehicle, making it easier to avoid obstacles in front

There's a lot of other changes, features, and bug fixes packed into this update! Refer to the release notes for all the details: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/08/16/016-Release-Notes

The next World Conquest starts at 2PM EDT on Tuesday, Aug 28th at 11AM EDT.

Update: After rolling out the 0.16 update to the live environment, we found a server bug that will affect the operation of World Conquest. As a result, there is a high chance that the start time for Conquest will be delayed to later tomorrow. We will keep everyone updated on Discord. Skirmish mode will continue to operate without issues. Thanks for the patience.

Update 2: World Conquest start time has been delayed to Wed at 11AM EDT.

We've made several important quality of life improvements. First, map icons can be toggled on and off based on type. This will help reduce the clutter on the map screen which will assist in quickly finding points of interest. Second, Truck and Light Utility Vehicle drivers can now directly access Factories, Refineries, and Gates without getting out first. Finally, vehicle drivers can now optionally enable a minimap on the HUD, which should help with navigating over long distances.




The first batch of emotes have arrived! Using the 4-0 keys, players are able to perform a range of emotes including salute, wave, and surrender. We've also added footstep trails which help to direct players during a pursuit.



There's a lot of other changes, features, and bug fixes in this update! Refer to the release notes for all the details: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/07/23/015-Release-Notes

The next World Conquest starts at 11AM EDT on Tuesday, July 24th.

Our goal is to continue to deliver regular content and features updates every 3-4 weeks. If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to write us a review. Thanks for continuing to support the development of Foxhole.


This update brings amphibious warfare to a new level. The Cargo Ship has been added, existing amphibious vehicles have been redesigned, an island based map has been added, and water based game mechanics have been overhauled to make amphibious invasions a big part of the persistent war.




The Cargo Ship is a brand new water vehicle that is used to support shore landings. They can deploy into a forward base on beachheads, providing a stockpile and spawn point for the invading party.



Gunboats have been revamped to better support amphibious assaults. The gunners are now enclosed within the vehicle, protecting them from flanking maneuvers during an invasion and the dual MG turret's range has been extended.



Gunboat visuals have also been completely redesigned. The Warden variant has also finally been added to the game. Warden players rejoice!




To accompany this amphibious revamp, the first "islands" map has been added. Oarbreaker Isles contains one large island to the west, where a continuous land battle can occur between the Port Bases. The rest of the map is a series of small to large fragments of land that contain Forts, victory towns, and other world structure. The east end connects to the mainland via water border travel, so amphibious invasions on Farranac Coast can be staged from this region in World Conquest.




New strategic structures have been added to the world, which creates new objectives for players in both World Conquest and Skirmish modes.



Forts are strategic bases that are located in remote areas of the world. You can consider them to be "Mini Town Halls". They will serve as strategic points for staging invasions into new regions in World Conquest.



Observation Towers are giant lookout structures used to gather map intel over large areas. They have triple the detection radius of conventional Watchtowers and have tier 3 level armor.


Both World Conquest and Skirmish have been scaled up for larger more expansive wars. In World Conquest, three extra regions can optionally be included in the conquest, one of them being an exclusive water zone. As a result, cross region amphibious incursions and water supply lines are now key parts of the war effort.



There's a lot of other changes, features, and bug fixes packed into this update! Refer to the release notes for all the details: http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2018/06/14/014-Release-Notes
