The latest stealth change to Foxhole may look minor on paper, but for partisans, it hits like a sledgehammer: the BMS – Class 2 Mobile Auto-Crane and the BMS Overseer Sky-Hauler can no longer be entered by enemy players. On the surface, this reads like a simple anti-griefing tweak. In practice, it quietly guts one of the most creative layers of partisan gameplay.

For those of us deeply invested in the dynamics of Foxhole, this stealth change fundamentally alters the essence of what it means to engage in partisan tactics. The thrill of leveraging enemy equipment, turning their strength against them, and using ingenuity to outmaneuver the opposition has been stripped away with this patch. The core of partisan gameplay hinges on adapting to circumstances on the fly, using creative solutions to overcome overwhelming odds. The ability to commandeer enemy vehicles was never about griefing—it was about adding depth, strategy, and unexpected turns to every encounter.

This decision undermines the spirit of Foxhole, which has always been about dynamic interactions, unpredictability, and the clever use of available resources. By removing this strategic element, a critical aspect of the game’s identity is lost. Partisans, known for their tactical brilliance and creative approaches to warfare, are now left with fewer options and less room for creativity.

We understand the desire to prevent griefing and make the game more enjoyable for all players, but this change has inadvertently stifled some of the most passionate and resourceful members of the community. There must be a better way to address the issues of griefing without sacrificing the very mechanics that make Foxhole unique and exhilarating.

We urge the developers of Foxhole to reconsider this patch and to engage in dialogue with the community to find a more balanced and rewarding solution. A solution that maintains the integrity of partisan gameplay while still addressing community concerns about griefing.

Let us preserve the depth and spirit of Foxhole by finding better ways to enhance gameplay that do not marginalize the innovative players who thrive on creativity and strategy. Please sign this petition to ask for a rethink on the crane patch and to keep Foxhole the vibrant and challenging experience we all cherish.
