This article is considered accurate for the current version (1.62) of Foxhole.
| “ | Deep in the mountains, The Weathering Halls stood for centuries as a bastion of hope during less sophisticated times. Surrounding the Halls were three great gates, blocking passage or defending from northern invaders. The Warden's prized fortress and sturdy walls endured through the Great Wars. That was until the Colonials marched on The Weathering Expanse. | „ |
| — Old In-game Description |
Weathered Expanse is a region located in the Northeast of the world map. Open spaces dominate vast swaths of the map. The weather here is more frigid, noticeable by the snowy ground and falling snow. The map also features large walls similar to the Bulwark running through the southern regions.
Update History
- 0.0.30 - Weathered Expanse was added into the game.
- 0.13 - added a large coastline on the eastern side. This was done to line the map up with Endless Shore and to prepare the whole east coast (Weathered Expanse, Endless Shore, and Umbral Wildwood) for naval gameplay.

- 0.20 Foundation of War - Observation Towers and Safehouses were introduced to the game and placed through out the map.

- 0.33 - Introduced minor changes to the map.
- Updated fog effects with improved visibility and visuals.

Lore
Manuscript Page
Manuscript Page
While flipping through dull manuscripts, a page written in a different hand slips out. A letter, maybe. Or convincing fiction?
It was told to me that his men had all survived the cold and frigid water, but their captain wouldn’t leave the animals behind. He tried to wait out the winter, the fool.
This captain, as well as the livestock, froze to death. It’s said that when the ice cleared and winter passed, the ship sank to the depths of the ocean.
One by one, the surviving crew died of pneumonia. Months, even years after they lost the Burgundi, each crew member would fall ill until there were none alive.
No one would tell me the captain’s true name. Even the thought of it seemed to scare them.

Musings of a Deserting Soldier
Musings of a Deserting Soldier
An old journal lies next to some abandoned bedrolls. It details the frustrations of a deserting soldier.
...our legion was called the 'Swords of Maro.'What kind of fuckin’ joke is that? A company of dullards running around calling themselves ‘swords’.
If Maro were alive to see what a farce his namesake has become, he'd have begged to swallow that bullet.
