Winter Army is LIVE

If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to leave us a review on Steam. Thanks.

WINTER ARMY
Winter Army is Foxhole's big semi-annual update and includes a ton of game changing features like a new dynamic weather system, an overhauled artillery game, new weapon tech trees, a Regiments system, and much more!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

DYNAMIC WEATHER EVENTS

Winter Army introduces a fully dynamic weather system into the persistent war. Weather varies in intensity and can affect one or more regions at a time, turning lush landscapes into snowy wastelands or muddy battlefields.



[h2]SNOW STORMS[/h2]
Armies must now be equipped to fight in snow storms. Taking shelter, building fire pits, and deploying the right equipment are key to surviving the harsh conditions of winter. Snow storms can also freeze rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, opening up new supply lines or attack routes.


[h2]RAIN STORMS[/h2]
There are also Rain Storms, which will disrupt intelligence operations, limit artillery effectiveness, and cause other front line challenges that players must contend with.


ARTILLERY REVAMP

Winter Army includes a sweeping revamp of artillery in Foxhole.



[h2]NEW ARTILLERY[/h2]
There are four new types of artillery being introduced, including both emplaced and field variants.

[h3]COLONIAL ARTILLERY[/h3]


[h3]WARDEN ARTILLERY[/h3]


[h2]ARTILLERY BASES[/h2]
With deployable artillery and the existing modular bunker system, builders can now construct the artillery base of their dreams, complete with ammunition rooms for stockpiling hundreds of shells for bombardment.



NO MAN'S LAND

To compliment the new artillery game is a feature called No Man’s Land, which allows players to unleash devastating artillery bombardments transforming the very landscape of the world.



Bombardments can devastate grass, bushes, and even trees, turning a once beautiful landscape into a desolate no man’s land. Towns that have been under artillery fire over long periods of time eventually crumble into permanent ruins.



NEW WEAPON TECH TREES

Winter Army introduces dozens of new or redesigned weapons to the battlefield.

[h2]NEW SMALL ARMS[/h2]
There are many new small arms weapons, some with new features such as burst shot rifles and secondary slot Submachine Guns that can be fired from tank commander positions.



[h2]ANTI-TANK WEAPONS[/h2]
Since the Arms Race update last year, many of new armoured vehicles have been introduced into the game. To counter such threats, many new AT weapons have been added to infantry arsenel.



[h2]TRIPOD WEAPONS[/h2]
Tripods allow for even heavier infantry weapons. Tripods require 2 player teams to deploy as the Tripod and Weapon must be carried separately. For the extra effort, Tripod weapons have superior range and damage over handheld variants.



NEW TANKS

It wouldn't be a big Foxhole update without the introduction of new tank classes.

[h2]COLONIAL MASS PRODUCED TANK[/h2]
Designed for mass-production in Kraunia, this medium tank features a modular turret system for maximum versatility. The “Falchion” class features a powerful if understated, 40mm cannon.


[h2]WARDEN SCOUT TANK[/h2]
This small tank is recently recommissioned to the Warden arsenal. It boasts high maneuverability and an antenna that allows for long-range communications during high-stakes recon operations.


REGIMENT SYSTEM

Regiments is a new organization tool that allow commanders to organize a permanent unit of players. This is the "clan" system that players have been waiting for. The Regiments system features support for tags, roles, dedicated chat channel, a real time view of regiment player status, and more.



RELEASE NOTES

There many other improvements, changes, and bug fixes in this update. Read the full release notes for the details.

Update 41 - Amphibious Vehicle, New Bridge types, Tank Combat Changes

If you are enjoying these updates, please take the time to leave us a review. Thanks!



Drummond Loscann 55c

This amphibious Light Utility Vehicle has been heavily modified to cross rivers and lakes with ease. Venturing out into the open sea is ill-advised, however.

This vehicle is the perfect partisan tool, allowing enemy backlines behind bodies of water to be infiltrated and sabotaged.



Balfour Wolfhound 40mm

This destructive short-ranged cannon is designed for direct engagement with enemy fortifications. The Wolfhound is fitted with reinforced shielding and a 40mm barrel.

This field weapon will be useful for dismantling enemy structures during early periods of the war when heavy explosives are difficult to come by.



R-5b “Sisyphus” Hauler

This variation of the standard R-5 Hauler is fitted with an improved suspension and axle system resulting in better overall handling. However, these improvements may not hold up under severe weather conditions.

This unique truck variant can boost it's speeds for short bursts of time, making it the perfect blockade runner.



UV-5c “Odyssey”

This simple, modified Utility Vehicle is fitted with a reinforced hatch to provide one crew member with increased visibility for intense recon operations.

This variant provides map intelligence and is heavily armoured, making it great for delivering emergency supplies to active front lines.



New Bridges

New drawbridge types have been added to the world. Each bridge has distinctive features, bringing more variation to prolonged bridge battles. In addition, several of these bridges now have two lanes which allow for traffic in both directions, which makes bridge crossing a smoother experience for supply line drivers.







Carrying Wounded Players

Live players that have been wounded on the battlefield can now be picked up and carried to a safe location. While a player is being carried, their death countdown timer will be paused, allowing them to be revived when they are brought to location behind friendly lines.



Tank Combat

Some new mechanics have been introduced to provide more tactical options during tank engagements.
Shot angles and range now play factor in tank armour penetration, making speed and maneuverability more important than ever before.
