	— In-game description

The Manned Foxhole is a cheap, early-stage defensive building. Namesake of the game, Foxholes are the backbone of map control and the main tool in ensuring the security of logistic routes, material sources, and urban areas. Their primary role is aggressive area-denial against individuals and small groups of hostile players. Low cost and quick deployment also makes Foxholes an important tool in prolonged engagements on any battlefront.

A Foxhole is 'manned' by one NPC with a Rifle. While it has a fairly long range, it does not lead its shots based on target movements, which allows players to distract it continuously without being hit, especially while sprinting. However, it will easily kill anyone careless enough to get up close or moving directly towards it. A Foxhole will automatically engage enemies if in proximity to a base (80m for Forward Bases and 150m for Town Bases) and will keep firing at the current target until it is slain or left its firing range.

Foxholes have some resistance to small arms, but can be destroyed quickly by sustained and concentrated fire from groups. They take very little damage from Frag Grenades, but are very vulnerable to high explosives. Three High Explosive Grenades or two direct mortar hits will destroy a Foxhole.

Similar to all other defensive structures manned by NPCs, Foxholes within range of a base (80m for Forward Bases and 150m for Town Bases) will have a colored flag of its faction. If disconnected, the flag will immediately turn white with only the faction symbol remaining to identify its allegiance, although it will remain active for 10 minutes thereafter. Foxhole texture becomes darker at 65%.

A single player may enter the Foxhole and fire from it while being protected from harm. The only item that can damage players inside of this structure is the Green Ash grenade. Entering a Foxhole will also give players increased weapon accuracy/stability, but will limit their vertical firing angle as if they're being prone. If the foxhole is destroyed while the player is inside, the player will be killed. Players can still enter and use foxhole if it is not connected to a Tunnel Network.

Any non-damaged Foxhole can be upgraded into a Gun Nest.
