History VideoGame / Foxhole

* CombatResuscitation: When taking small arms fire, players usually don't immediately die but enter a 30 second "downed" phase. In that phase, another player with a Trauma Kit can come over and revive them. (However, players who are [[ChunkySalsaRule hit by artillery fire]] generally to die instantly.)

* CombatResuscitation: When taking small arms fire, players usually don't immediately die but enter a 30 second "downed" phase. In that phase, another player with a Trauma Kit can come over and revive them.

** Also zig-zagged, because while the game adds unrealistic visibly moving projectiles, the damage itself is applied under more realistic [[Hitscan]] rules that treat the bullet's flight as instantaneous.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The sniper rifle: it can one-shot an enemy and has an extremely long range, but in return it has a slow rate of fire and takes a very long time to achieve a steady aim, in which the target can escape.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The sniper rifle: it can one-shot an enemy and has an extremly long range, but in return it has a slow rate of fire, expensive ammo and it takes a very long time achieve a steady aim, in which the target can escape.

* DifficultButAwesome: Battle Tanks. Badass death-machines of destruction with thick armor, a big canon and a deadly machine gun. But needs a crew of 5, chugs a lot of fuel and to produce you need a lot of refined materials and expensive blueprints.

* NitroBoost: The motorbike can boost itself at the cost of consuming extra fuel. This makes it a very good vehicle when patrolling, doing recon, or [[VehicularAssault ramming straight into enemy lines]].

** The light tank is smaller, less armored and lower firepower. However, it's cheaper to produce, very manuverable and requries only crew of 3 (Gunner, Driver and Commander).

** {{Downplayed}} with tank commanders, which can equip binoculars to allow the gunner to shoot ofscreen.

''Foxhole'' was initially released in Early Access in 2017, recieving a full release on September 28, 2022.

* AntiVehicle: A number of anti-vehicle weapons exist, including; [=RPGs=], high-explosive grenades, [[StickyBomb Sticky Bombs]], and anti-tank rifles.

* CombatResuscitation: When taking small arms fire, players usually don't immediately die but enter a 30 second "downed" phase. Before they die out, another player with a Trauma Kit can come over and revive you, but sometimes your enemies will reach you first and trash talk you while you die instead.

* CosmeticallyDifferentSides: The Colonials and the Wardens have different designs for their infantry uniforms, half-tracks, tanks, utility vehicles, and landers, most which are identical stat-wise. However, the ''Arms Race'' (0.37) update introduced faction-exclusive variants for some vehicles. The tanks especially are very varied and have it's own models and variants with different stats depending on the factions.

* OnSiteProcurement: A common strategy is to get into the front and get equipment from dead troops instead of its own supplies in order to save equipment in the long run.

* CombatResuscitation: When taking small arms fire, players usually don't immediately die but enter a 30 second "downed" phase. Before they die out, another player with a Trauma Kit can come over and revive you; but sometimes your enemies will reach you first and trash talk you while you die instead.
* CommonCrossover: Given the nature of the game (long drawn out battles with insanely-high casualties), Foxhole has become rather popular with Warhammer 40K fans, with one of the larger clans within the community (The 82nd Death Korps) being named after one of the more well know units of the Imperial Guard.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: The game's lore primarily exists of small bits of flavor text for maps, along with statue plaques, forgotten notes, and descriptions of view points that reveal tiny snippets of the setting.

* DashAttack: Zig-zagged. While it's not possible to shoot while sprinting, you can always affix bayonets and stab with it.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Warden faction uses gaelic and anglo-germanic proper nouns and French/German inspired aesthetics, while the Colonial faction uses latin and hellenic proper nouns and American/British inspired asethetics.
* ForeverWar: The game takes place at a fictional world of endless conflict between the Colonials and Wardens, which had started centuries ago and has left the battlefield resembling the World War period. The current conflict isn't some major push for victory for either faction, but a campaign to capture the resource-rich lands to continue the war. The "Battle of the Red River" event was stated to be set in the beggining of the current wars, the troops instead had Napoleonic-era muskets and uniforms.

* GenreBusting: Foxhole combines multiple game genres to create a unique war experience, taking the social aspects of a sandbox {{MMORPG}} like ''VideoGame/EVEOnline'', the "massive persistant war" from ''VideoGame/PlanetSide'', isometric top-down shooting from ''VideoGame/RunningWithRifles'' and also has the [[YouRequireMoreVespeneGas logistics and supply system]] of a RTS game.

* HitAndRunTactics: The basis of what the community calls "partisans", small forces (usually independent squads) that slip into enemy territory to raid supply lines, trash undefended camps, and silence artillery.

* CombatResuscitation: When taking small arms fire, players usually don't immediately die but enter a 20 second "downed" phase. Before they die out, another player with a Trauma Kit can come over and revive you; but sometimes your enemies will reach you first and trash talk you while you die instead.

''Foxhole'' can be found in Early Access on {{UsefulNotes/Steam}}.

* RareGuns: In-universe, the Storm Rifle is a 7.92mm rifle with a large side-loading magazine and a selective-fire option, fulfilling long and short range duties admirably. It's also a rarity in the game's battlefields, having been too difficult to produce and falling out of favor for the far cheaper bolt-action 7.62mm rifle. Building them requires having an advanced war factory.
** Interesting enough, it is based on real-life rare gun [[RareGuns/BattleRifles FG 42]].

* PlayerVersusPlayer: While there are [[SentryGun automated AI defenses]], ''Foxhole'' is predominately player-focused and does not have bots or AI enemies. Automated defenses are considered a NecessaryWeasel--the game simply can't support the hundreds of players necessary to harvest, build, supply, fight, ''and'' garrison towns away from the immediate fighting.

* Scunthorpe Problem: The games profanity filter would censor words containing "scrap". To get around this, the playerbase started to use the term "scroop" instead. The profanity filter would eventually be changed, but the term "scroop" stuck around.
