Sunken Pillbox

The Sunken Pillbox is a new defensive structure that will help with defending towns against long ranged weapons. Inspired by the Retractable Turrets used in the Maginot Line, this fortification will retract into the ground when there aren't any targets in sight. When enemies are inside it's forward facing firing arc, it will slowly rise and open fire. In it's retracted state, the Sunken Pillbox will be near invulnerable.
The Sunken Pillbox was designed to help players secure their towns against long ranged weapons used by small groups of raiders or during low population situations. However, it's slow startup time makes it essential to complement it with other defensive structures.
Tunnel Network

Inspired heavily by the vast underground structures built for the Maginot Line in World War 2, players will need to build out networks of tunnels to supply their passive defense structures like Pillboxes and Foxholes. Players will build Tunnel Network structures in the form of concrete hatches, which will automatically connect to nearby structures. Networks must be connected to Town Halls or Outposts to work. Only connected passive defenses will have an active AI. This new mechanic will decrease the significance of early game rushes and will enable more organic front lines to form.
Sulfur Resource

This is a new resource that is used to produce the more powerful explosive weapons in the game. Sulfur is a depletable, rare resource available in contested areas away from towns. Players will initially gather Sulfur in relatively secure areas, but once those nearby nodes are depleted they will have to venture out to the front line or beyond for more. Sulfur is refined into Explosive Material at the Manufacturing Plant.
There are LOT of gameplay changes in this update. I highly suggest reading the full release notes [URL="http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2017/06/09/Foxhole-0031-Release-Notes"]HERE[/URL].
The Weathered Expanse is a vast wintery wasteland, featuring harsh and unforgiving features. With large open snowy fields, the remains of a devastated fortress, and complex road structure, this might be the most dynamic map in Foxhole yet.
World Conquest War #5
On Saturday, May 27th at 11:00 AM EDT, World Conquest war #5 begins. All Foxhole players are called upon to fight in a single unified war spanning 4 regions, including Weathered Expanse.
There are also a lot of gameplay changes to world conquest in this update including the ability to travel between regions using vehicles. I highly suggest reading the full release notes [URL="http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2017/05/26/Foxhole-0030-Release-Notes"]HERE[/URL].
Foxhole 0.0.29 Update! Bunkers and High Explosive Grenades!

Bunker
[IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/2e6au8g.jpg[/IMG]
The Bunker will be a new structure that will allow base builders create more complete defense perimeters that will be harder to penetrate without a long range weapons crew like a Mortar or Field Artillery team. The Bunker will be the most heavily armored passive defense structure in the game yet, and will have a 180 degree firing arc. This will make it near impossible for players to take out a Bunker or neighboring walls with Satchel Charges, unless someone else is drawing it's fire. Players will be able to enter the structure through a back door and fire at enemies below.
High Explosive Grenade

This handheld, high explosive grenade is effective at taking out lightly armored structures and vehicles. It has a short to medium throw distance, but is the first line of defense against Foxholes and Pillboxes when higher technology levels are not available yet.
World Conquest Trial #2
On Saturday, May 13th at 11:00 AM EDT, the second World Conquest war begins. All Foxhole players are called upon to fight in a single unified war spanning 4 regions!
There are also a lot of critical changes to combat and world conquest in this update. I highly suggest reading the full release notes [URL="http://www.foxholegame.com/single-post/2017/05/12/Foxhole-0029-Release-Notes"]HERE[/URL].
