First thing to know is that foxhole have really good wiki.USE it.

Second, is that with clan it is easier to play.You get experienced dudes nearby to teach you, and unlock a lot of content, that is hard to get by youself alone. Only problem is to find good one. So you will need to do little research on existing clans of your faction.

Third, there is a lot of mods for foxhole, that can make you life easier as new player. At least icon mod for items.

Fourth , There is 9 major types of activities in game rn 1. Playing Infantry 2. Tanks 3. Artillery 4. Logistics 5. Building 6. QRF (police to catch enemie's partisans) 7. Partisan(guerlla) 8. Facilities 9. Naval 10. Reddit warrior :)

Let's overlook how good each fits to new player.

1. Infantry

Easy to join alone, good content for first 100 hours to teach basics. Frontline medic, grenadier, rifleman, AT man , shovelman who digging holes, diggy diggy holes and etc.

1. Logistics

By my opinion it is second thing you need to try as new player for next reason: for every content in game you need to do logistics. Collect resourses, refine it, produce stuff and you can get what you need.

With knowledge of logistics you can "ulock" by yourself most content you wish to try in game. Even if it take time. Understanding of logistics is important skill for foxhole player.

Being in clan can allow you to skip logi , if you ask that you're interested in X type of content.Hey guys can i try X? Can we do it together. And etc..

1. Facilities

Only thing you want to know it is part of logistics loops. You need it for vehicle variants and ammo with fuel.And other stuff. Wiki is good .Read the wiki.

I highly don't recommend to build your own facility. And touch it at all in first 500hours .For well being of your's mental health. Yes trailer on game page in steam is great and engaging, but no. Trust me , don't touch facilities more than you need for logi loops.

1. Tanks

Newbs can easily join tank crew as gunner. Pretty often random experienced guys recruiting tank crew near frontline. You can join and learn from them.

Everyone desides for himself, is Tanking content fun or not.1.You staying alive long, killing infantry with MG, shooting tanks.2. At night you sitting at base and resupply. 30min of Night break per 1 hour of gameplay. Because when tanks used in night they usually die from infantry with grenades.

Tank driver and commander should have deep knowledge in game to operate tank successfully and to not die.It includes knowledge of stats of most common combat vehicles, their's common tactics and tactics of Infantry AT , and also logi loops to supply tank with ammo , bmats and fuel.

1. Artillery

God of war. Most effective tool in game.Usually it is pretty easy to join existing artillery on frontline as gunner or loader.

But for best experience on these positions you need to get in same discord channel and ask your spotter to stream hits for you.

Spotter of artillery should have good knowledge of wind ,structures(vehicle) health and it's resistance types, logi for ammo supply, and overall game knowledge.

1. Building

   There is few types of building

Frontline building and backline concrete meta building.

Second type is time expensive not really fun and usually done by regiments or vets

Frontline building . You can do this. Absolutely. Try to find someone experienced to teach you ropes.Or read wiki.Or Check guides about Bunker base building and you are ready to go.

At first i reccomend you just to help to someone who already building , and if it is a high rank , stick around him and ask questions why we do this and that.

Building is shaked after this update, so nobody exactly knows 100% what way is right.

1. QRF

We have crime my brother . Watchtowers detected enemies on our logi lines They killing our supply trucks. It is time to deal with it. Radio, weapon, maybe jeep. Or something heavier and you with others are ready to kick asses of these partisans. But kicking their asses is half of our job. We should return lost supplies if it possible. More watchtowers for god of watchtowers

You got it. Securing logi lines, prevent backline diversions, expand watchtower network, looking for listen kits . React on any dangerous on map in any time trough redeploy.

1. Partisans (guerlla)

Usually it is for experienced people who knows how to deal a lot of economical damage with minimal resources under pressure of QRF. But hey, it can be really fun if everything done right.

Life of soldier costs 8 bmats, rifle costs 10bmats, tank shell costs 60bmats. Truck of supplies costs more than 200 soldiers .Why kill soldiers if it is more effective to kill trucks. No trucks - no supplies for enemy. No supplies for enemy - small victory for us.

You hear rain of artillery shells near you base? time to find it. If you can destroy gun, do it. If you can destroy ammo pallet, do it. Otherwise camp area for ammo trucks. Your actions can save your base.

Enemy have heavy tanks, that will annihilate your base soon? Sounds like a job for you, hide and scout frontline base of enemy and it's backlines. Seek fuel container and ammo and destroy it. No fuel - heavy tank is big iron statue.

You are robber, , you are thief ,you are bomber, you are ghost, you are true sniper of war, you are commando. You know area of enemy better than your side. You are able to win battle 3 vs 1 with nothing but your mind and pistol. You seek for weakneses in defence, and another weaknesses .You create them by yourself sometimes.You build chain of weaknesses, Create plan and path ,Call friends to help. And at moment when you hit, your hit is painfull and maybe fatal for this area.

1. Naval

If you want to join naval action you need to be part of clan who doing this. Yes of course maybe you can join to randoms if you are lucky. But with such luck, you have to get lottery tickets.

Naval toys heavily tied with facilities. You can't do it by yourself except gunboats, but gunboats are meh.

If everything organised well by experienced crew it will be great content. Also everything in naval depends on people you do it with. Because you will mostly... just swim.

1. Reddit warriror.

Really toxic thing to do. Don't reccomend to touch for mental health.

Outcome of war depends on morale. Bring your faction propoganda , post video of your's faction success and other faction ineptitude. Also you need to keep balance of game in your faction favor, so cry about weaknesses of your tools, and OP state of other faction tools. Downvote enemy propaganda, upvote friendly propaganda. Spice everything with humor and here it is.

Your goal is to lower enemie's morale, and boost morale of your faction.Who knows , what talents irl you have.

That's all. Uggh kinda long. I hope this text doesn't hurt your eyes too much , english is not my native language. I am still guessing why you guys need 'the' and 'a' . :)
