Foxhole is a 2017 top-down shooter by Clapfoot.Set in an Alternate Timeline that resembles the World Wars , Foxhole is a Top-Down View, Wide-Open Sandbox war game. Players choose one of two factions—the Wardens or the Colonials—and battle for dominance over different battlefields, capturing resources and occupying the various towns. The war is persistent, the fighting continues whether you're logged in or not, and the logistics are completely player-driven. Players must gather resources, produce materials, deliver them to the battle, and then defeat their enemy in combat.Foxhole was initially released in Early Access in 2017, receiving a full release on September 28, 2022. | |

Shows Damage | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_15aed120 | comment |
Shows Damage: Foxhole doesn't like health bars, and instead opts for visual cues to show durability and health. Players do not see their health bar. Instead, the amount of blood on the character shows how much damage they have taken. Buildings have a healthy, damaged, and critical state, with visual differences in each. However, it's possible to see the durability of the building as a number when in front of it. Vehicles emit smoke when damaged enough to be disabled, and erupts in flames when near destruction. You also can see its current durability, but only when repairing it. | |

Amphibious Automobile | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_15d60257 | comment |
Amphibious Automobile: The Amphibious Warfare Update added the Landing APC, an open-topped amphibious tracked vehicle for landing troops on beachheads. A small squad of troops can ride on-board while it crosses the water, able to shoot out and vault over the sides should they need to disembark quickly. | |

Target Spotter | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_17caab49 | comment |
Target Spotter: Most artillery equipment like Howitzers, Mortars and Field Artillery requires binoculars to operate, reason being binoculars can display azimuth and distance, and artillery requires a distance and azimuth to fire. This also means the spotter needs to calculate the artillery's target through triangulation. It's extremely Difficult, but Awesome. Downplayed with tank commanders, which can equip binoculars to allow the gunner to shoot off-screen. | |

| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_1b010521 | comment |
Diesel Punk: The setting strongly resembles a version of the World Wars in terms of aesthetics. Ostensibly, the game world is our own world in the far future, but the connection to Earth is tenuous enough (pretty much only existing as Word of God statements) that it more-or-less qualifies as a Constructed World. | |

Refining Resources | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_2902d216 | comment |
Refining Resources: Played straight. All farmed resources need to be refined at a refinery before they can be used to produce equipment. Fuel can be used raw, but the refined form is more efficient. While scrap, fuel and components are refined relatively quickly, refining sulfur can take hours. | |

This goes a step further with field artillery. Having a steady supply of shells allows to simply blanket the frontline and thus driving enemy force away. It might not be as exciting as door-to-door Urban Warfare, but it sure as hell gets the job done. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The sniper rifle can one-shot an enemy and has an extremely long range, but in return it has a slow rate of fire and takes a very long time to achieve a steady aim, in which the target can escape. Super Tanks are the strongest land vehicles available, but their high cost means the resources needed to build one are better spent on multiple Battle Tanks. The Colonial O-75b "Ares" gets this especially: while its twin 75mm cannon can One-Hit Kill almost any vehicle, it's the tank’s only weapon (meaning it has zero defense against infantry rushes,) it takes four people total to load and fire, and it only has eleven shots (if firing both barrels each time) before it has to resupply. Submarines can rapidly take out enemy ships while remaining undetected… at least in theory. In practice, they can't stay submerged for long enough to sneak up on a target and their engine is loud enough to alert their targets anyway. Not helping matters is the fact that they're unlocked at the same time as the Destroyer, which is just as good as hunting ships, has the additional utility of carrying out shoreline bombardment and acting as a global spawn point, is the natural counter to the Submarine with its Depth Charge launchers, and is only slightly more expensive. | |

Scunthorpe Problem | |

Scunthorpe Problem: The games profanity filter would censor words containing "scrap". To get around this, the playerbase started to use the term "scroop" instead. The profanity filter would eventually be changed, but the term "scroop" stuck around. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: Back in very early versions, bodies of water are less deadly pools to drown in and more bottomless pit. You die but the game shows you plummeting off the map. Subsequently averted with later updates: players can now tread water for a few seconds before drowning, as an anti-frustration feature reducing the number of accidental drownings from accidentally falling off the dock while trying to board a vessel. Subverted again with more swimming capabilities and opportunity to be rescued by a boat by keeping still. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Since Foxhole is inspired by WWII, a lot of things fall under this category. The Rifle is the default primary weapon. While it's slow to fire and requires quite a bit of steadying for a good aim, it's the cheapest weapon and can dish out a good amount of damage. Trucks are cheap to manufacture, and can transport a good amount of troops and supplies to the front. Expect to see a lot of trucks around. Foxholes (the dugout defenses) are the namesake of the game for good reason. They can be built for free, and much more quickly than other structures, making them useful for holding ground before more permanent trench defenses can be established. Logistics quite literally win wars. All the flashy toys are useless without a bunch of people just driving around the map and shipping ammo, fuel and construction materials. This goes a step further with field artillery. Having a steady supply of shells allows to simply blanket the frontline and thus driving enemy force away. It might not be as exciting as door-to-door Urban Warfare, but it sure as hell gets the job done. | |

Deadly Gas: Green Ash grenades create a cloud of poisonous green gas at the target location. It kills very quickly and can even take out vehicle crews. However, since gas masks render them harmless, most infantry prefer more direct means. | |

| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_3b856be9 | comment |
The Enemy Weapons Are Better: In an active battlefield, lots of people dying will mean lots of dropped equipment, including juicy grenades, life-saving medkits, or advanced weapons. It's not always worth running into the crossfire to snatch whatever's there, but it is definitely tempting. | |

Ridiculously Fast Construction | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_4987746e | comment |
Ridiculously Fast Construction: Averted. Most structures require basic or refined materials to build, and players have to hit it with a hammer for as many times as the required amount of materials. A watchtower, for example would take 125 hammer hits. Construction Vehicles can build them slightly faster, but buildings requiring them have even higher costs and can take minutes to build. Dugout structures like foxholes and trenches are constructed in a similar manner, using the shovel instead of the hammer. | |

Tactical Door Use | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_659b8d91 | comment |
Tactical Door Use: Gates and Heavy Gates can only be opened by your faction. Building gates are a common way to fence off a secure town or area, but you can also use them to trap enemies or launch surprise attacks. Drawbridges won't close if a water vehicle is passing underneath them, so a common early-game tactic to stymie supply chains is to park a barge under a drawbridge, forcing the other team to waste time destroying the blockage with whatever they have on hand (which can take a while if the other side hasn't researched explosive weapons yet). | |

On-Site Procurement: It's perfectly possible and even encouraged to pick up dead soldiers' gear (friendly or enemy) and either use it yourself or return it to base to be reused by someone else, since it reduces the burden on your side's supply lines and manufacturing to use stuff that you found rather than taking it out of the base stockpiles. | |

Player Versus Player: While there are automated AI defenses, Foxhole is predominately player-focused and does not have bots or AI enemies. Automated defenses are considered an Acceptable Break from Reality—the game simply can't support the hundreds of players necessary to harvest, build, supply, fight, and garrison towns away from the immediate fighting. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Despite their resemblance to the Allies and Axis of World War 2, the Wardens and the Colonials are both morally grey and neither is the "hero" or "villain" of the story. If anything, the Wardens are the current aggressors in a war to retake territory from a previous conflict. | |

Easy Logistics | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_745a226c | comment |
Easy Logistics: The meat of this game is in Averting this trope. Resources must be collected by hand at specific sites and sent to refineries, then into factories to produce actual equipment and vehicles. After that, these supplies and vehicles must be physically taken to the front and stockpiled in a Town Hall or Encampment with a truck. All of these are done by individual players. This means it's feasible and actually crucial to sabotage supply lines by ambushing enemy logistics vehicles. Capturing certain towns can flat-out deny the enemy production facilities, and also seizing whatever equipment they have in the stockpile. Playing as a logistical worker (or "logi" as they are known to the playerbase) is a useful and profitable (though complicated and often thankless) role to take on. | |

Cosmetically Different Sides | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_7706dd0f | comment |
Cosmetically Different Sides: The Colonials and the Wardens have different designs for their infantry uniforms, half-tracks, tanks, utility vehicles, and landers, most which are identical stat-wise. However, the Arms Race (0.37) update introduced faction-exclusive variants for some vehicles. The tanks especially are very varied, having their own models and variants with different stats depending on the factions. | |

Tech Tree: At the start of a Skirmish or World Conquest, players only have access to the most basic weapons and trucks. By collecting Tech Parts dropped from scrap and refining into Research Parts, the faction as a whole can climb a long tech tree to unlock new equipment and vehicles. | |

Nitro Boost: The motorbike can boost itself at the cost of consuming extra fuel. This makes it a very good vehicle when patrolling, doing recon, or ramming straight into enemy lines.

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Battle Tanks. Badass death-machines of destruction with thick armor, a big canon and a deadly machine gun. But needs a crew of 5, chugs a lot of fuel and to produce you need a lot of refined materials and expensive blueprints. Ballistic Rockets. They require multiple specialized facilities to construct the parts, which are made from hundreds of the game’s most advanced materials, need an equally advanced structure to generate their launch coordinates, and take 72 real-life hours (including the fueling process) before they can launch- during which their position and target is revealed to the entire server. However, if a squad can successfully launch one, it permanently destroys all structures (up to and including Victory Town Halls) within the blast radius. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Some ordnance and equipment are powerful enough to kill in one shot. They aren't usually overly expensive, but have caveats to them, often requiring setup or exposing oneself. The Warden Clancy-Raca M4 Sniper Rifle is one of the only firearms capable of incapacitating a full-health player in one hit—if you are patient enough to steady its aim, that is. If sitting in the back isn't your style, the Shotgun is also capable of doing such a feat at point-blank, though their range is appropriately dire. A cheaper close range option are the bayonets, which can be affixed to Rifles and Carbines for a one-hit melee kill. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment: Completely averted. Dead enemies drop everything that was in their inventory, and there's nothing stopping you from picking up a dropped enemy weapon and using it yourself as a form of On-Site Procurement. This is especially handy if the weapon in question is something your side hasn't researched yet, which you can then turn against the enemy. | |

Rank Up | |

Rank Up: Instead of tying rank to level, Foxhole instead uses a system where players have to be manually commended by other players (as appreciation of good work) in order to increase their rank. This means when you see a high rank player, you know he did well to earn that rank, and not by grinding experience. | |

Tank Goodness | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_cd809603 | comment |
Tank Goodness: The Arms Race update added many different categories of tanks, which one with its own variants. The Wardens and Colonials also have each own some exclusive models and variants. The light tank is smaller, less armored and lower firepower. However, it's cheaper to produce, very maneuverable and requires only a crew of 3 (Gunner, Driver and Commander). The battle tank is big, bad, packs significant firepower and nearly undestroyable if you don't have the right equipment and coordination. However, it lacks manuverability - thus can fall prey to light tanks, require a crew of 5 (Main Gunner, Machinegun Gunner, Driver, Commander and Engineer) and are absurdly expensive. Super Tanks are essentially battle tanks on steroids: greater firepower, tougher armor, and even more expensive construction and fuel. The Storm Tank and the Armored Fighting Tractor are both a case of Break Out the Museum Piece and are considered outdated if compared to the modern tanks, however, they are usually found in very early game when armies have almost no AT capabilities, they are both able to raise hell when the enemy barely expects it. | |

This is an attempt to Nerf the amount of defensive structures that players build; gameplay in early access beta has become about spamming foxholes and bunkers and turning matches into a pseudo-Tower Defense game. | |

Nerf | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: Due to the Early Access nature of the game, many things undergo this in the name of balance. Fists were nerfed in version 0.2. Originally they were a One-Hit Kill to enemy soldiers since you'd have to risk getting shot to reach melee range to deal it; when bayonets were added the instant-kill was given to the bayonets to serve as a direct upgrade to fists, which now dealt half damage. The Sticky Bombs used to be very good against everything (but particularly buildings and vehicles), but it has been nerfed to being anti-tank only. | |

Quick Draw: The Pistol is this, having a very fast draw speed in order to function as a backup weapon. Just like what they always say, it's always faster to switch to your sidearm than reloading... | |

Sniper Rifle | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_e7b73414 | comment |
Sniper Rifle: The simply named Sniper Rifle is this: it's a high damage, long range weapon used to take out targets with precision. It has incredible range and zoom, and at max range your targets can't even see you without binoculars. Unfortunately, the downside is it takes forever to stabilize the weapon and get an accurate shot. | |

Walking Armory: It's possible to be this—you can carry multiple weapons and swap between them at any time. However, you'll also be very overencumbered and walk very slowly, making you a big target. | |

Sprint Meter | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_ec3768a | comment |
Sprint Meter: Played straight. The player's stamina bar goes down as they sprint, but it is also affected by terrain and encumberment. Walking on grass instead of roads, as well as carrying too much, will significantly increase the drain on the stamina bar. If that bar goes down too much, the player character collapses for a moment. | |

Respawn Point | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_edb7b3ad | comment |
Respawn Point: Port Bases serve as infinite respawn points where weapons, ammo, and other equipment are conveniently stashed. Players can construct Encampments and rebuild Town Halls, both of which can store Soldier Supplies which are consumed upon respawning a player and provide the same functions. | |

Last Stand | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_f7cee9b | comment |
Last Stand: Common within the game. Certain regions/areas of the map are of strategic importance, either because they contain factories/repair facilities/raw materials to aid the continuation of the war, or because they contain a Victory Town Hall (i.e. a base whose capture/lose with award/deducted victory points from the attacking/defending army). These areas often become highly contested, with the defending army often fighting on to the very end to prevent the capture of the strategic locations. War 83 became one for the Colonial Faction. Despite the fact the outcome of the war had been effectively decided by the end of the 4th week of the war, the Colonial's held out in their remaining territories for another 9 days, and even launched some successful counter-attacks. It would take the firing of 6 ballistic rockets by the Wardens to destroy both several strategic Colonial Bases, and much of what remained of the Colonial's armored strength, to bring the war to an end. | |

Forever War | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Forever War: The game takes place at a fictional world of endless conflict between the Colonials and Wardens, which had started centuries ago and has left the battlefield resembling the World War period. The current conflict isn't some major push for victory for either faction, but a campaign to capture the resource-rich lands to continue the war. The "Battle of the Red River" event was stated to be set in the beginning of the current wars, the troops instead had Napoleonic-era muskets and uniforms. In-game wars have become an example of this. Whereas a first-person shooter match will last at most 20 minutes to 1/2 an hour, wars in Foxhole can last for weeks, and in some cases, more than a month. The longest war to date (The 83rd War) lasted just over 36 days in real time (in-game, it went on for over 2 years), and by the end, more than 4 million fatalities were recorded. War 95, at 42.4 days, has officially dethroned War 83 as the longest war ever fought in Foxhole. Unlike War 83, where the war initially went by quickly with only a small Colonial force managing to stall for time later on (see Last Stand below), War 95 ground to a halt almost immediately, with neither side able to make much of an advance on the other, leading to a stalemate meat-grinder that would put World War I to shame. The war concluded mere days before Update 1.0 was due to drop, and likely would've been forcibly ended by the devs if it had gone on. War 100, at 55.8 days, has again broken this record. Initially a fairly even match, the Wardens eventually gained a substantial lead that reached its height around day 33, before being slowly pushed back. | |

You Require More Vespene Gas | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_fd2086a9 | comment |
You Require More Vespene Gas: You require more scrap, fuel, sulfur, "technology parts","components" "Basic Materials" ,"Refined Materials" and "Explosive Materials"! Scrap, fuel, and sulfur can be found in respawning points across the maps, fighting for control of them will be critical to your war effort. Scrap must be refined into basic materials, components into Refined materials and sulfur into Explosive Materials before being used. Technology parts are required to level up your production facilities and components are processed into refined materials for advanced construction. Both of these resources are occasionally found within other nodes and do not spawn on their own. | |

Every Bullet is a Tracer | |
| Foxhole (Video Game) / int_fda454ec | comment |
Every Bullet is a Tracer: Played straight, but necessary to see where the enemies are shooting from due to the perspective. Especially important at night, where targets are invisible at range and tracers are the only things revealing positions. Also zig-zagged, because while the game adds unrealistic visibly moving projectiles, the damage itself is applied under more realistic Hitscan rules that treat the bullet's flight as instantaneous. | |

Drawbridges won't close if a water vehicle is passing underneath them, so a common early-game tactic to stymie supply chains is to park a barge under a drawbridge, forcing the other team to waste time destroying the blockage with whatever they have on hand (which can take a while if the other side hasn't researched explosive weapons yet). | |

Shown Their Work: "Firearms Expert Reacts to Foxhole's Guns" notes a couple of things that don't often show up in more graphically realistic games: When a soldier picks up the anti-tank rifle, you can tell that it's a heavy gun from the way he moves. The heavy machine gun requires a crew of two men, one to carry the gun, one to carry the tripod. In real life you would need a crew of at least three, but two is still one more than in the average first person shooter. | |
