One of my favorite aspects of Foxhole is the artillery system. Artillery guns can shoot incredibly far- so far, in fact, that the binoculars won't let you see out to their minimum range. This means any spotters have to approach the front lines and do _trigonometry_ to calculate the optimal firing vector.

I remember when i bought Foxhole couple years back. I spawned in frontline region "Faranac coast" i think was a name. I was trying to figure out what to do and all of sudden some dude pulled up with a truck. He noticed i am new, he tell everyone to commend me and asked me what my favorite animal is. I then jumped into the truck, he brought me to the actual front and i died shortly after. In this map, there is (or maybe was) this narrow path with rock on both sides of the road. We were fighting back and forth there for 3-4 days. Finally we pushed through and take out enemy base. I died in the process... but as i was going back from spawn, i had one of the best moment in gaming. There was column on the right of the road - tanks, trucks bringing supply to new base, construction vehicles, bus full of soldiers and in the other direction, there was column of push guns, tanks and truck which we stole from the colies. Everyone was cheering and yelling. It was special

My favorite Foxhole moment. 4 partisans caught me on the way to the front with supplies. I hopped out of my truck and took cover behind it. They were coming from the front of the truck and I only had a pistol to defend myself. I peeked around the corner and took out the two on my left side before they could fire back. I moved to the left side of the truck while the two remaining enemies came from the right side. I peeked the back corner where I had just been standing and took out another enemy. The final enemy panicked and tried to run away and I shot him in the back. I took all of their gear and delivered it with my supplies to the front. The guys at the front asked where I got Warden gear and after I told them the story everyone cheered and commended me. Foxhole is an incredible game! Logi gang!

The thing about Foxhole is you learn whatever small section you're interested in. Whether that be Infantry, Trucker, Factory worker, Engineer, Scraper gatherer. Tanker, Seaman, etc. Its near impossible to do it all but it forces people to band together and each pick a piece of the puzzle to create cohesive organizations. If anyone is looking to join foxhole then I recommend you join a regiment(clans). There a lot of them who try to focus on different things.

This game is teamwork. Anything form, "Can you carry this tripod so I can place this machine gun out on the frontline?" to "Hey, come be a part of my tank crew." It can be great for making people feel involved just from people talking to others, and with how many unofficial roles you can take on, some seemingly more important than others, but everything is for the war effort at the end of a day. You might be swinging a hammer relentlessly at a building of yours being besieged to stop it from falling, or you might be a medic risking their meat out in the midst of gunfire to save your fellow teammates.

[@realmanjamal]

lowkey why would you want to commit suicide

[@Skillz_4_Thrillz]

Foxhole's appeal and the thing that makes the tedious less tedious, is that each small objective achieved is working towards a larger goal. I remember a war I was a part of on a front in Acrythia. It was Day 2 of the fighting so there was no tanks or arty, just good ol fashion mammon rushes. Us and the Wardens were in a 3 hour stalemate between fortifications that couldnt have been more than 40 meters apart lol. At night time the entire warden team would grab mammons, everything would go silent for a few minutes as they grabbed their grenades once darkness fell and then BOOM! 50 Wardens right on top of us out of the darkness, overwhelming our trenches just chucking HE grenades at our defenses. You couldnt see more than 20 meters in front of you so you had little time to shoot back. Inch by inch they destroyed our fortifications over a course of a few hours as we desperately tried to repair them while under fire. Colonials would slam themselves into the warden onslaught with bayonetts only for a warden to suicide himself with a grenade to take down the attacker so more Wardens could make it through. The beauty of Foxholes economy is that arguably the cheapest thing in the game to produce is small arms ammunition and your shirts (essentially your lives) which allows for this meat grinder to exist where your job as an infantryman souly revolves around tossing yourself in front of a bullet to protect your much more valued armor and static defenses for the glory of the legion. This is what makes the static meat grinder so intriguing. Battles on a front can go static for days with back and forth advancements but I know every warden I kill is one less shirt they have every second I waste is another second I stall for the bigger clans to hatch a plan to break through. Everything you do slowly contributes to the war.

[@buckplug2423]

And it's really nice how you have all these different scenarios. In a lot of games, you really fight the same battle with some small differences over and over again. But in Foxhole (infantry used as an example) you might be gaining and losing trenches, you might be maneuvering around open country with single enemies at the periphery of your vision, you may be on a low pop region hunting the enemy for their loot, you might be fighting in the hills and run into the enemy point-blank, you may be assaulting a Town Hall with gruesome urban combat or you might be throwing yourself at a bridge just to keep the enemy onslaught from your BB, with no ground gained and hundreds of casualties - and all of that in the day, during the night, in snow, rain, mud. Even though infantry is only one small aspect of the game it rarely ever gets boring - and if it does, you can do something else or fight somewhere else.

[@rigormortis1860]

I have to disagree heavily about the difficulty of basic logistics. You can learn all you need to know about basic logi just by playing the game as a frontliner, and then asking someone who knows what's going on about how to actually make stuff. It only gets complicated when you try to make your own facility or base.

[@ambientlightofdarknesss4245]

I agree with that. It really is as hard or has easy as you can make it. Even sending Basic materials to a front under heavy fire or fuel to a front where it's full of tanks Is a godsend. And usually dictates wether your base gets destroyed or your tanks overrun. It really can be as easy as Hammer resources-> Refine them -> put in truck -> send to front

[@Izumiuo]

I agree, but it is mainly your approach on logi. If you mean delivering from a stockpile to a frontline base. Yea its pretty easy to learn. Its also easy to learn scrapping -> refinery -> factory -> seaport/stockpile. Tho that's pmuch where basic for me ends. Sulfur/components -> refinery -> MPF/factory/garage -> seaport/stockpile is a bit harder to 100% learn while the basic principles are still the same, harder to know what is needed for these resources at what frontline base. They are always pretty spread out from one another, sometimes your main logi hex will not have any of these. Facility and Naval logi a whole other thing too. Naval logi is pretty dope to see aint for me tho. The real hard part of learning logi is the gameplay loop. Not so much learning the loop, its preventing burnout. If you do not enjoy playing logi or like relaxing gameplay you will 100% burn yourself out super quick doing logi. You gotta enjoy the gameplay loop to somewhat have fun doing logi (still boring tho). Literally today I spent like 12 hours in the backline doing the same loop over and over again ~ this is why people say logi is hard imo. Now I havn't watched the video so lowkey I got no idea what he says in it. I just checked the comments cause im a player of foxhole and wanted to see what people were commenting.

[@Jebu911]

Yeah you can do very effective logi by just driving your truck around also thats the best way to be the mvp on a frontline. I think its just easy to learn game but hard to master.

Or you can go to the roads just behind the enemy lines and get logi that way :) not to scare you.

I've always been an infantryman. Just another body thrown at the front. Highlights of my playthroughs so far would be: - Getting stuck in a relic base for a full half an hour unable to do anything as high caliber shells pounded everything around us. - A collapsing front which was saved by the timely arrival of friendly tanks. The euphoria of having the cavalry arrive and save the day was unforgettable even if I died when our infantry mass charged alongside the tanks. - Fighting in a doomed last stand alongside a single remaining Warden tank who also refused to retreat while the Collies swarmed us.

[@Ghost_6012]

It would look a bit overwhelming, but if you are interested in logistics the most important thing you should know is that basic materials, also called dearly as "bmats" are used to make mostly everything as well as fixing structures, and to make bmats you need to harvest salvage from salvage mines or fields.

[@smithynoir9980]

Honestly, it's understated just how important the scrap scroopers are! The legend that scraps and fills the refinery, they are everybodies hero!

I think scrapping is the best way to start out, honestly. Then you can either make private bmats to craft something, or make it public to help out others.

[@tyrant5616]

The best example I can give for how little you matter in foxhole is; If you had a cheat for infinite health then ran into one of the fronts you would not move that front and the enemy would build some structures around you to box you in and put a sign 'Live Dump for test firing'. That said, when you are part of a team and working together to get mats, build, push the front, run artillery etc. you feel like you are making a difference with your group. So it really is about being a team player to enjoy the game. Also grinding your own anything is a pain in the butt.

I love crafting in games, it's one of the things I most anticipate in a game when available. However, many MMOs I played have relatively lackluster crafting systems and, for me, the results of crafting in such games lack meaning as well as depth. Yet, in Foxhole the crafting system is in depth and every single thing I produce has meaning. That's what drew me into the game. Personally, I don't think the game is too complicated, you have to take it one step at a time instead of trying to learn everything simultaneously.

[@carrott36]

If you’re put off by the complexity, don’t be! Lots of vets, far from what the reviews tell you (though there are a couple bad apples) are willing to help out. Slorgs has also exaggerated the learning curve for the average player a bit - the more complex stuff is done in a regiment, where different people will be all working together and helping each other out. Lets look at truck driving, what you need to do: 1) locate a truck. This can be done in 3 ways. Retrieve it from a storage depot (barn icon on the map) or seaport (on the coast, looks like.. well, a seaport). Alternatively, find one parked somewhere. If it’s locked, you can use a wrench to unlock it. Do ask people around you if they own it first though! If, for some strange reason, there are no trucks available, you can build one at a garage. Simple enough, grab 100 basic materials (can be found at basically any bunker base) and use the garage (truck icon on the map) to construct it, then hammer away at the blueprint until it’s done. 2) refuel the truck. This only needs to be done if it didn’t have enough fuel to begin with. Do this by either grabbing a stored diesel can, or by parking next to a fuel container (big cylinder, normally yellow), exiting the vehicle, and pressing the refuel button on the vehicle’s UI. 3) go to the seaport or storage depot. Inside will be crated items that you can load up into your truck. If you like, grab another that you keep in your inventory. 4) deliver these crates to a frontline bunker! This may seem like a lot, but it boils down to truck, fuel, supplies, deliver. Far shorter than the massive chain described by Slorgs, because a lot of the parts he described are done by other players for you.

[@Chubakabrah1]

Back in 2016-2017, I played Foxhole during Pre-Alpha, when there were barely any players. Something happened then that will probably never happen again in the game. The servers were about to shut down to update the game from Pre-Alpha to Alpha, meaning all progress would be wiped-guns, vehicles, artillery, everything. Since we were losing it all, both factions decided to meet up and celebrate in-game. We brought all our gear, vehicles, and artillery to the middle of the map. We formed a line of vehicles and troops, slowly marching toward each other. When we met, we built a message out of sandbags that said "Thx Devs." Then, we unleashed everything-bullets, artillery shells, and more-until the server shut down. I think we even ended up shooting at each other for fun. I still have screenshots of the event. This wasn’t planned by the devs-it was entirely the community’s idea. I was part of the 82DK squad, one of the bigger squads back then. If anyone remembers those days, you know how special it was.

I agree, the barrier to entry for new players is kinda high. I've got enough hours in the game now to have a decent knowledgebase, and I've been considering creating a DI clan for the Wardens to train new recruits on the training grounds in different roles.

a fun fact about the steam review thing, ask about any of those names among community members and they'll usually tell you what they are actually banned for, the toxic clanman excuse they use in the reviews is usually not the real reason lol, like the amount of times I've talked with a guy upset about "toxic clanman mass reports" and it's turned out he called a guy in that clan a slur and payed the price to it is pretty high lol

1:00 -> 2:13 is nothing but AI images, and some at other points, seriously boring aside from decent commentary.

Its a psychological tactic to get people more interested in what they are advertising. Makes people look it up more and/or buy it to try it out. Though, I will say Foxhole is a pretty fun game. Got the game back in 2020 and have been a somewhat consistent player since then. Planes are coming out soon in June 2025.

I have my eyes on foxhole for a loooong time, feels like it's gonna be one of those games that I either pick up and drop immediately cause learning it seems intimidating, or I actually put in the time and it makes not wanna play anything else for a year. Interestingly moments earlier I got a wishlist notification that it's on sale on steam.

[@smithynoir9980]

Brand new update as of today, Sales usually line up with big updates I believe.

[@galiantus1354]

Pro tips: - Find a role you like and focus on that for a bit. If something else piques your interest later, you can always try it. You can ignore stuff that seems intimidating. - Ask for help. Most other players are willing to take a moment to explain or show you something. Literally just a few days ago I taught someone how to use a bayonet because he asked. It's not an inconvenience; I personally like helping new players. - Be willing to help. I guarantee at some point you'll hear someone say "medic!", "I need a gunner", "can someone carry a tripod", "grab mammons/stickies!", or something along those lines. If you're even slightly curious, volunteer to help.

[@Izumiuo]

It's easier to learn than any paradox interactive games. If you learned how to play Hoi4, you definitely can learn this game. Its definitely easier to learn than Factorio, that game is intimidating for me to learn. But yea like the other guy said. Just what you think interests you, learn about or you can join a regiment that does just that. When I first started playing I only did infantry stuff for like 50 hours til I decided to do logi. Been a logi main since then and honestly I still don't know some logi stuff like facilities. I know how to use facilities but idk what to do to build them up.

[@johannlabertaler6095]

When I started the game (so after my first 30 hours) I met a guy who wanted to operate artillery, but it's at least a three man job. So he asked my friend and me to help him out, explained everything very patiently and we switched the tasks when we got used to it. He was like 40yo and a really nice guy. It was a lovely experience and we actually made a difference that day!

[@Owen88-bt2hl]

My first experience was being shelled in the Moors, I spawned in a town base and spent five minutes trying to open my inventory. I found voice chat and told the guys I was new and they helped walk me through the basics. There were about 5-8 of us and once we were geared we rushed out of the base, about half of us were killed instantly by a shell and we found cover in a trench. Some guy with a machine gun down the line was screaming for ammo, and somebody ran to get him some, only to be shot leaving the trench. My initial group was almost dead, just me and one other guy who has survived by a miracle. A fresh group arrived in a truck and yelled at us to push, we went over the top and got mowed down, 20 of us killed in an instant. I respawned and spent 45 minutes trying to capture one trench line, only to lose it right after. 10/10 would get PTSD again. Edit: I’m still very new, I joined war 117 and only know how to be cannon fodder. I tried logi but my truck caravan was ambushed, so I have yet to be truly useful, you’re just a cog in the machine.

[@deenhan5432]

Amazing video! Really touched on some amazing parts of the game. Didnt expect the Alex Honnold reference. Definitely subbing after this

[@Kinzarr4ever]

I'm very much an off and on, casual Foxhole player myself; spent about 200 hours ingame spread out over several months in inconsistent chunks. And I think almost everything you said in the video is spot on, with one exception. The game as a whole is pretty crazy complex, but in my experience, the invidual parts that make up the bigger system are fairly simple and accessible. I think most new players can learn some of the basic activities like trucking, frontline infantry, or field medic, in maybe an hour or two. And there will always be a need for people who just show up out of the blue and drive a truck back and forth a couple of times or spend one battle dragging casualties back to base. And to be honest that's what i've most enjoyed doing myself, in Foxhole :) And in my experience, there's plenty of people in Foxhole who are more than willing to teach a new trucker enough to be useful or who welcome the occasional part-time medic in to their regiment. So this would be my advice for people who think this sounds like fun but who are unwilling or unable to commit for hours upon hours or who are unsure that they even want to. Just give it a try :) Hop on-line, ask around if someone's willing to show a recruit the ropes, there's almost always someone willing to help. Spend a couple of hours in a truck or with a medkit in your hands, or even just grab a rifle and head for the nearest frontline. That's all you need to be able to enjoy Foxhole. And if you find that's something you enjoy, you can totally just log in every now and then for a short simple session as a low-level grunt. That's how I've been playing Foxhole most of the time, and there will always be a place for people who can drive a truck from a to b or who are willing to run around dodging bullets with a medkit for even 30 minutes. There's even plenty of regiments who welcome that kind of occasional part time casual player, if you prefer a little bit more organised teamwork or community, I've been part of a few of them myself and people have been universally friendly and welcoming in my experience. So in other words, if you don't have the appetite or the stomach for the full menu, you can still enjoy foxhole in bite-sized chunks when the mood strikes. At least, that's been my experience

The points you brought up were exactly why I was interested in Foxhole and exactly why I struggle to want to sign on when I have free time

[@ProfShikari]

I literally started playing this game on Thursday, my brother gifted it to me, I was reluctant as the very first YT video I watched about it… didn’t grip me, I put it down to not knowing what I was actually watching/didn’t have an understanding of what was going on… but I gotta tell ya, when I jumped on for the first time and picked up my first Blakerow from that Bunker Base and marched my backside down to that frontline… and died, again and again and repeatedly, over and over, I was hooked, at one point I just sat outside the bunker base with a bag full of B mats ready to repair vehicles whilst the occupiers picked up ammo for their tanks. After spending 4 and a half years playing World of Warships… this is realism on another level, so enjoyable… even for a newbie 🤣

[@jaber5345]

one thing you miss in this video is that you don't really ever want to bring supplies from backline to frontline, you want to bring your backline supplies to a storage depot or seaport, then let your frontline logi players bring the stuff up front. If you go back to front logi you risk the base getting completely resupplied before you get there

But truth be told, I still lean with you, I put at least ENOUGH effort into each and every video! yeah yeah, I made my BEST video yet, in 7 years! However, it is not "KZbin friendly" as it is the type of video you need to watch all the way through haha. That, and I totally fumbled with the Title and Thumbnail as I was kind of rushed to get it out by that point! Yeah, I gave it an AI thumbnail (boo this man!) and the Title doesn't fully represent what the video is REALLY about.

I talk about something pretty profound actually, and I have yet to see anyone else touch on exactly what I touch on in this video... But anyway, sorry for the novel, keep kicking ass! Consider watching this video of mine, if you ever watch any!

[@nhahtrebor91]

What helped me was joining a large regiment. They helped every single new recruit and new player. Explaining every mechanic, non written rule and most importantly WHY we did things a certain way. For example Trains can be stolen if not properly stored. Most package and train a train engine then turn off the power to the crane, now the only one who could add power to that particular crane is the one who built it or the squad they locked it to. Sure you can "lock" it but every vehicle lock can be wrenched. Joining a Regiment will unlock the fun stuff. No they don't expect you to log in every day, no they don't force you to do certain tasks if you don't want to. With the exception of a few Larp regiments, they are very chill and casual and are glad for every extra pair of hands. If you want to learn Foxhole fast and meet people that's where I suggest.
