Foxhole is a massively multiplayer top-down war game where hundreds of players on each side fight in persistent wars lasting days to weeks. Unlike typical shooters, Foxhole's wars are won through logistics — every bullet, bandage, and tank must be manufactured by players from raw materials gathered by players and delivered to the front lines by player-driven trucks. The two factions (Colonials and Wardens) fight across a massive hex-based world map with towns, bridges, and fortifications. Foxhole is the closest thing to a real war simulation, where supply chains matter as much as shooting skill.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Deadlands — Weathered Expanse)
- Upgrade your starting equipment to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials — you'll need them later
- Focus on Anti-Tank Rifle once accessible
Mid Game (Farranac Coast)
- Push Anti-Tank Rifle to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Storm Rifle
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Marban Hollow — Reaching Trail)
- Max out Storm Rifle — this is your top priority
- Complete your build's core gear set
- Craft endgame consumables
- Optional: upgrade secondary equipment for variety
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment — Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials — Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear — Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Farranac Coast farming — This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early — Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Logistics wins wars, not just infantry — the faction with better supply chains wins 90% of the time. Even spending 30 minutes doing logi runs contributes more than hours of frontline fighting with empty supply bases.
- Farm Farranac Coast during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build — some classes farm faster in certain areas
