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.
Foxhole features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order — what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
Area Progression Order
| Order | Location | Difficulty | Key Rewards | Recommended Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deadlands | All war phases | Strategic central position, major Victory Town, high-traffic combat | Logistics Driver |
| 2 | Weathered Expanse | Mid-war contested territory | Defensive terrain advantages, chokepoint control, elevation-based combat | Logistics Driver |
| 3 | Farranac Coast | Naval operations, mid-war | Naval access, port facilities, coastal resource nodes | Frontline Infantry |
| 4 | Marban Hollow | All war phases | Infantry-favored terrain, partisan raid opportunities, resource nodes | Frontline Infantry |
| 5 | Reaching Trail | Logistics corridor, all war phases | Critical supply route, strategic chokepoint, logistics infrastructure | Frontline Infantry |
Deadlands — Starting Area
A central region that's frequently contested due to its position connecting multiple fronts. Flat terrain with sparse cover makes it deadly for infantry but good for tank operations. The Deadlands often become the war's main front with the heaviest fighting.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All war phases |
| Key Rewards | Strategic central position, major Victory Town, high-traffic combat |
| Recommended Build | Logistics Driver |
| Key Equipment | Anti-Tank Rifle |
What to Do Here
- Learn the basics of persistent war — this is where you practice without heavy punishment.
- Collect starting resources and your first equipment upgrade.
- Clear all main content before moving to Weathered Expanse.
- If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.
Weathered Expanse — Early Game
A hilly region with elevation advantages for defenders. The terrain creates natural chokepoints that well-placed bunker networks can hold indefinitely. Logistics through the Expanse requires longer routes due to winding roads.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Mid-war contested territory |
| Key Rewards | Defensive terrain advantages, chokepoint control, elevation-based combat |
| Recommended Build | Logistics Driver |
| Key Equipment | Anti-Tank Rifle |
What to Do Here
- Focus on mastering logistics supply chain — it's critical from this point on.
- Farm for Anti-Tank Rifle if you don't have it yet.
- Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
- Prepare for the difficulty spike in Farranac Coast.
Farranac Coast — Mid Game
A coastal region enabling naval operations. Port towns serve as naval staging points for amphibious invasions. The coast also has resource nodes for logistics. Controlling Farranac gives strategic access to naval supply routes.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Naval operations, mid-war |
| Key Rewards | Naval access, port facilities, coastal resource nodes |
| Recommended Build | Frontline Infantry |
| Key Equipment | Anti-Tank Rifle |
What to Do Here
- This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
- Storm Rifle becomes accessible here — prioritize getting it.
- Master base building for the boss encounters.
- Check our boss guide if you get stuck.
Marban Hollow — Late Game
A forested region with dense cover favoring infantry over vehicles. Partisan operations (small squads raiding behind enemy lines) thrive here. The forest canopy limits visibility, making ambushes and guerrilla tactics effective.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All war phases |
| Key Rewards | Infantry-favored terrain, partisan raid opportunities, resource nodes |
| Recommended Build | Frontline Infantry |
| Key Equipment | Storm Rifle |
What to Do Here
- Full build optimization is expected by this point.
- Storm Rifle should be your primary, fully upgraded.
- team coordination mastery starts mattering here.
- Farm resources for the push into Reaching Trail.
Reaching Trail — Endgame
A narrow region connecting two fronts, often becoming a critical supply corridor. Controlling Reaching Trail gives logistic access between regions. The narrow roads make truck convoys vulnerable to partisan attacks, requiring guard escorts.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Logistics corridor, all war phases |
| Key Rewards | Critical supply route, strategic chokepoint, logistics infrastructure |
| Recommended Build | Frontline Infantry |
| Key Equipment | Storm Rifle |
What to Do Here
- This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
- See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Naval Operator for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order — Deadlands → Weathered Expanse → Farranac Coast → Marban Hollow → Reaching Trail. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner — Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your equipment — Some areas favor different equipment types.
- Read the walkthrough — Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush — Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
