Logistics wins wars in Foxhole. A well-supplied frontline pushes forward; an undersupplied one collapses. This guide covers the complete logistics chain from raw resource to frontline delivery.

The Supply Chain
Resource Field → Refinery → Factory → Storage Depot → Frontline Base
(scrap) (BMats) (rifles) (stockpile) (soldier uses it)Each step requires a player. Skipping any step breaks the chain.
Step 1: Scrapping (Resource Gathering)
Grab a Hammer (or better, a Sledgehammer from a Storage Depot) and go to a resource field marked on the map.
| Resource | Refines Into | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Salvage (Scrap) | Basic Materials (BMats) | Everything — rifles, ammo, building |
| Components | Refined Materials (RMats) | Vehicles, heavy weapons |
| Sulphur | Explosive Materials (EMats) | Grenades, artillery, rockets |
| Coal | Diesel, Petrol | Vehicle fuel |
Scrapping efficiency tips:
- Use a Harvester (vehicle) if available. 10x faster than hammer.
- Work in pairs: one scraps, one drives the truck.
- Fill a truck with 1,500 scrap (15 slots × 100) before returning to the refinery.
- Scrap fields respawn faster when more players are online. Peak hours = faster scrapping.
Step 2: Refining
Take raw resources to the nearest Refinery. Select the refinement recipe and set it to process. Refining takes time — queue up your resources and go do something else (make food, scrap more, etc.).
Refinement ratios:
- 2 Scrap → 1 BMat
- 20 Components → 1 RMat
- 10 Sulphur → 1 EMat
Always refine at a refinery with a power plant nearby if possible — power speeds up refinement.
Step 3: Manufacturing
Take refined materials to a Factory and place orders:
| Item | Cost | Time | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle | 20 BMats | 25s | High — always needed |
| 7.62mm Magazine | 20 BMats | 15s | High — rifles without ammo are clubs |
| Bandage | 10 BMats | 10s | Medium |
| Frag Grenade | 10 BMats + 5 EMats | 30s | Medium |
| Radio | 10 BMats | 15s | Low — but useful for intelligence |
| Shirts (Soldier Supplies) | 20 BMats | 20s | Critical — respawn tickets |
Factory tips:
- Queue multiple orders at once (public queue or personal queue)
- Personal queues are private but slower
- Public queues let anyone retrieve the items
- For front-line supply, use public queues so other logi players can deliver
Step 4: Delivery (The Most Important Step)
Load crates into a Transport Truck or Flatbed Truck and drive to a frontline Storage Depot or Forward Base.
Driving tips:
- Use roads. Off-road driving is 50% slower.
- Watch for partisans (enemy players behind your lines). If you see a suspicious player, turn around.
- Deliver to bases with low supply. Check the base’s inventory from the map before leaving.
- One truckload (15 crates) can supply a small front for 15-30 minutes.
The 80/20 Rule of Logistics
80% of the frontline needs are just three things: Rifles, 7.62mm ammo, and Shirts (Soldier Supplies). If you only supply these three items, you have done 80% of the logistics work. Everything else (grenades, specialist ammo, medical supplies) is supplemental.
Summary
Scrap → Refine → Manufacture → Deliver. Prioritise rifles, ammo, and shirts. Use a truck for transport. Watch for partisans. One efficient logi player can supply 10 infantry players.
