Update 61 Released - Builder Features, Bunker Breaching, Underground Fortress
NEW FEATURES
Update 61 includes a broad range of new bunker and builder features as well as improvements across the entire game. Below is a highlight of the more prominent changes.
NEW BUILDING OPTIONSSeveral new Bunker and Trench related content has been added. First, Tripod mounts can now be fitted inside bunkers, which increases these weapon's survivability and flexibility.
New garrison types have been added, with Artillery and Anti-Tank defensive options now being available from Tier 1 to 3, as well as the Observation Bunker, giving builders more low tier options.
New trench variants have also been added, which expand builders' choices when designing their Bunker-Trench systems. These include the new Trench Intersection piece, the new Trench Hard-Point and updated Trench Sandbags.
On top of that, new Bunker Modifications are available, bringing further depth and gameplay options to Bunker building, such as the Artillery Shelter modification which increases bunker resistance to artillery bombardment and the Fire Prevention System, which automatically helps players put out fires.
Together, we hope these changes and additions give builders the tools to push the limits of creativity and strategy like never before in Foxhole.
BUNKER BREACHINGBunkers pieces can now be individually breached, allowing infantry to storm inside and engage in close-quarters combat. Bunkers become breached when they drop below a health threshold called Breachable Health, determined in part by its Structural Integrity.
NEW LARGE STRUCTURE FOUNDATIONLarge Structures are now built in Shippable parts at Facilities. which must be shipped and assembled by a Crane at a Large Structure Foundation. This allows Large Structures to be made stronger and more valuable, and they have received buffs as a result.
NEW CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENTThe Construction Equipment is a new shippable built at the Small Assembly Station that automatically submits construction materials into nearby Build Sites. It facilitates large construction projects for smaller groups.
UNDERGROUND FORTRESSThe Underground Fortress is a new Large Structure that serves as a strongpoint and can only be destroyed by explosives placed inside. It features an additional underground floor, which provides infantry with a safe spawn point protected from artillery.
OTHER FEATURESA bunch of other Quality of Life and balancing changes have been introduced as well, summarized below.
HIT REGISTRATION IMPROVEMENTS
Update 61 also focuses on improving the shooting experience, with the Server-side hit detection system being upgraded to include network lag reconciliation. This should reduce the amount of sudden ‘warping’ of players under extreme latency conditions.
NEW EQUIPMENT

COLONIAL HEAVY CANNON
