Strategy MMO Foxhole leaves Early Access with huge Inferno update

As a hybrid MMORPG and RTS game, Foxhole has chosen for itself a unique set of challenges. Perhaps the biggest of these is the question of getting players to run the logistics side of a massive war - how do you make it fun and interesting to do the 'boring' work of producing and transporting the gear that the frontline soldiers need to keep fighting? Surprisingly, Foxhole seems to pull that off, and the massive Inferno Update that arrives alongside its departure from Early Access on September 28 makes the logistics game even more compelling.

INFERNO

Foxhole finally exits Early Access with Inferno, a massive update that adds many highly anticipated features including trains, player built logistics bases, fire weapons, rocket artillery, and much more. With tons of new content, now is the time to return to the world of Foxhole or check it out for the first time!

FACTORY BUILDING

Inferno introduces player built Facilities, which is a full fledged factory building game. Construct and manage industrial bases that can be developed into mass production centers or shipping ports servicing hundreds of logistics players every day.



Maintaining efficiency for Facilities will require the careful management of power grids, oil pipelines, and mining operations.



Facilities can also be used to lay down new infrastructure in the world, upgrading their logistics operations with minecart systems, concrete foundations, docks, and sky scraping cranes.



TRAINS

After years of anticipation, Inferno finally brings Trains to the world of Foxhole. Players can design and build large scale railway systems, enabling supplies, vehicles, and other equipment to be hauled over long distances across the persistent world.



Elaborate train networks can be assembled, complete with forks, switches, and elevated tracks for traversing difficult landscapes. Basic trains can consist of Locomotives, Coal Cars, and Freight for delivering supplies. Combat trains can include Infantry Transport for delivering reinforcements and Armoured Combat Cars for increased firepower at the front.



With enough infrastructure in place, players can assemble and deploy a mobilized long range artillery on rails capable of wiping out enemy fortifications from a distance.



FIRE WEAPONS

Flamethrowers, Flame Tanks, and incendiary rockets will be able to torch buildings, burn down fortifications, and incinerate enemy infantry. Fire can dynamically spread across towns and interact with other environmental elements like rain and snow.



ROCKET ARTILLERY

Mounted on Truck, Half-Track, and Field Weapon chassis, such artillery will be capable of delivering rapid fire barrages over long distances at the expense of accuracy and reload time.



ADVANCED VEHICLE VARIANTS

Armoured forces have been upgraded with new advanced tank variants, including the return of the fan favourite Battle Tank class.



HEAVY TANK CLASSES

Inferno introduces the Super Tank class. Requiring massive amounts of logistics effort to produce and deploy, Super Tanks represent the ultimate armoured threat on the battlefield.

It's finally time to try Foxhole, the tremendous war MMO hitting 1.0 tomorrow




On my first night in Foxhole, I didn't fire a gun for hours. Instead, I wandered around a town until I ran into a fellow Colonial (my faction) and asked how I could be useful. He put me to work in the scrap fields, where I harvested bits of discarded metal that we'd then load into a big container, crane into the back of a truck, and deliver to the local refinery. Our scrap became basic materials (or "bmats") used to craft guns, ammo, vehicles, tools, clothes, explosives, sandbags—anything and everything that our actual (virtual) comrades a dozen miles away needed on the frontline...
