Updates
What the latest changes mean for new players.
Foxhole evolves between updates. This page summarises recent major changes in practical terms. For exact patch notes and figures, always check the official sources.
Airborne — aircraft enter the war
The Airborne update added a full aviation layer to Foxhole. Aircraft now operate above the same persistent battlefield, which means a region is no longer secure just because the ground is held.
Aviation is its own logistics problem. Aircraft must be produced, fuelled, armed, maintained, and crewed, and they rely on airfields and ground support rather than flying as solo toys.
Paratroopers can be inserted behind a frontline, and anti-air weapons and radar intelligence became part of normal ground planning. New players should at least understand that the sky is now a threat axis, even if they never fly.
Update 64 — ground counterplay and balance
Update 64 focuses on giving ground forces better tools to answer aircraft, alongside faction balance passes, maintenance changes, and quality-of-life and performance work.
Exact values for anti-air, aircraft, and faction equipment shift during this period. Treat any specific number you read as provisional and confirm it against current patch notes.
The practical takeaway: anti-air coverage, radar/intel placement, and maintenance discipline matter more than they used to. Bases without air awareness are easier targets.
