It's that time of the year again! The annual Dead Harvest event is back. In this year's event, the Colonials and Wardens have weaponized the Cursed, allowing players to resurrect themselves as 1 of 3 undying soldier types from the underworld. In addition, each faction will be able to research powerful end game mechanized walkers to take on the Cursed.

Read on for details on all the content included in this limited seasonal event!


A stablized portal to the underworld. Present offerings to entrap deadly spirits into obsidian stones. This structure produces Soulstones, which can be used to resurrect players into Cursed Soldiers.



[h2]Cursed[/h2]
The vengeful soul of a long dead soldier. Twisted by the underworld, these undying Cursed have unnatural strength and are overwhelming in large numbers.



[h2]Avartach[/h2]
The damned spirit of an unholy blood drinker. The Avaratach is quick and can spit gobs of cursed ichor, draining the lifeforce from those unlucky enough to become submerged in the substance.



[h2]Balor Spawn[/h2]
The sinister brood of a great demon king. The Balor Spawn taints the very ground on which it walks. It conjures cursed obsidian spires to impale mortal flesh and feast their very souls.



[h2]Centurion (Colonial)[/h2]
Designed for the sole purpose of fighting back the cursed undead, the “Centurion” Mechanized Utility Vehicle is equipped with two high powered, heavy machine guns and a deadly, front-facing cannon.



[h2]Scourge Hunter (Warden)[/h2]
Built in response to the ongoing use of the Cursed in military skirmishes, the Scourge Hunter class Quadruped Mechanized Walker is equipped with a quad-barrelled rocket launcher, accompanied by a specially designed quad-barrel machine gun.

A few new things have been added to base builders' toolbox. These should provide even more flexibility when building out Bunker and Trench networks.

Arms Race is Foxhole's big summer update and includes a ton of game changing features like an overhauled vehicle system, 24+ new modular variants, the siege and assault tank classes, seaports, a new technology system, and much more!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]


For the first time in almost two years, brand new tank classes are finally being added to the game. This time, they are unique to each of the two factions.

[h3]COLONIAL SIEGE TANK[/h3]
The HC-7 "Ballista" is a heavy tank designed to obliterate opposition defenses with its 250mm Hades Mortar Cannon.


[h3]WARDEN ASSAULT TANK[/h3]
The Silverhand Mk. IV assault tank is fitted with destructive dual-barrel armaments, and heavy frontal and rear armour. Its 68mm frontal cannon is paired with a lighter 40mm turret.



A new modular vehicle system has been implemented, which enables dozens of new vehicle variants to be prototyped and mass produced.



Every vehicle type now has several faction specific variants, featuring different armaments, hull configurations, and other unique attributes.




The vehicle system in Foxhole has been overhauled and now includes many new features, mechanics, and improvements.



[h3]NEW VEHICLE PHYSICS[/h3]
A new physics engine has been implemented from the ground up, which features a physically accurate driving model that allows for realistic handling, drifting mechanics, and more.



[h3]ROAD REVAMP[/h3]
To complement the new physics, every road in the game has been reconstructed with new visuals and new surface types that can impact the speed and handling of your vehicle. The before and after screenshots of the roads can be seen below.



[h3]TANK ARMOUR[/h3]
Vehicles now includes a new armour plating system, which supports deflection and penetration mechanics, increasing the depth of tank combat in the game.



[h3]VEHICLE SUBSYSTEMS[/h3]
Furthermore, individual subsystems on vehicles can now be disabled. For example, a Tank’s fuel tank can be ruptured, resulting in fuel being rapidly depleted, or it’s track can be disabled, crippling it’s movement capability on the battlefield.




The Seaport acts as a storage and shipping facility for water logistics operations over. Available at every major logistics hub at the coast, the Seaport can store almost any type of crate, vehicle, or mobile structure.




Players can now build and reactivate old Coastal Guns at logistics towns near the sea. They will protect Seaports and shipping lanes against naval attacks.




New manned weapon emplacements now can be produced and deployed at the front for additional defensive measures. These are manned weapons that can be deployed on the ground or inside new emplacement dugouts that connect to trenches for extra cover.

[h3]68mm Anti-Tank Cannon[/h3]
A defensive emplacement against heavily armoured vehicles.


[h3]14.5 Anti Infantry Flak Gun[/h3]
An anti-aircraft flak cannon repurposed as a defensive emplacement against infantry.



These 68mm Field AT guns are the ultimate support weapon for infantry going up against enemy armour. They are a low cost way of countering heavy vehicles at the front line.




Arms Race brings replaces the Tech Tech with a new system that is player directed and non-linear. Players will now choose what technology gets prioritized and can decide to research more advanced technology with a chance of failure. This will help make every war feel unique as the technology you will see on the battlefield will vary each time.




A new Base Upgrade system replaces the old Facility and Efficiency systems. This new system does not require Upgrade Parts or any other grind, and allows base to be upgraded naturally based on existing player activities such as supply, combat, and structure building.



All the large towns in the game now have an industrial wing, include all new environmental assets. This includes 2 new Garrisoned building types, a brand new Safe House type, and many other small set pieces.




Besides the features shown above, there are tons of other improvements, features, and tweaks packed into this update. Here's a few more highlights of what's new in Trench Warfare:

• Vehicle Tiers - In long running wars, more durable versions of vehicles can be researched
  
• New Mining Experience - Mining has been updated with new animations and visuals, making resource gathering a more pleasant experience
