About The Front

The Front drops players into a post‑apocalyptic sandbox where mutants, hostile factions and imperial forces clash over ruined lands. Teams can explore deserts, forests, snowlands and swamps while scavenging blueprints, loot and airdrops to strengthen their war effort.

Beyond exploration, the game lets you craft weapons, build bases from hundreds of components and design custom vehicles using a modular Vehicle Assembly system. Tower‑defense traps, logical circuits and recruited followers add depth to both offense and defense in this massive multiplayer world.

01 / THE GUIDE

Vehicle Assembly System

Players mix chassis, frames, engines, weapons and armor modules to create combat vehicles, ranging from high‑speed rigs to heavy firepower beasts. The game currently features over twenty functional vehicle types, such as pickup trucks, mining trucks and attack helicopters.

Future updates promise mechanical claws, flying vehicles and visual customisation like paint jobs, expanding both tactical options and personal expression for each assembled war machine.

  • Test different chassis‑engine pairings to see how speed and durability balance for your playstyle.
  • Plan core modules before adding future visual customisations to keep performance consistent.

02 / THE GUIDE

Sandbox‑style Base Construction

Bases are built from hundreds of building components, allowing players to protect resources and shelter themselves. No explicit limit is stated, so creativity defines the scale and layout of each stronghold.

Trap systems can be integrated using pressure plates, infrared sensors and complete circuits, enabling automated defenses that route enemies through tower‑defense style hazards.

  • Use pressure plates to trigger traps only when foes approach, conserving resources.
  • Combine different sensor types to handle varied enemy classes efficiently.

03 / THE GUIDE

Recruiting Followers

Jammers let players subdue NPCs encountered in the world. Subdued NPCs become followers who assist in combat and work at benches to improve operational efficiency.

Followers contribute both offensive firepower and logistical support, helping to speed up resource production and enhance overall base performance.

  • Prioritise followers with workbench skills to accelerate crafting throughput.
  • Balance combat‑oriented followers with those that boost resource generation.

04 / THE GUIDE

World Exploration & Loot

The map spans deserts, forests, snowlands and swamps, featuring underground research institutes and restricted military bases. Players can loot structures, collect blueprints and claim airdrops during their trek.

Collected loot includes blueprints and resources needed for crafting vehicles, traps and base upgrades, rewarding thorough exploration of varied biomes.

  • Mark discovered blueprints for later vehicle or weapon upgrades.
  • Visit each biome to compare loot variety and environmental challenges.

05 / THE GUIDE

Combat & Raiding

Armed with melee weapons, firearms, explosives, tanks and helicopters, players can raid enemy encampments or defend their own territory. PvP and co‑op modes support both solo and team engagements.

Tower‑defense traps and logical circuits add strategic layers, allowing players to combine vehicle firepower with automated defenses against monsters and hostile players.

  • Synchronise vehicle attacks with trap activation for layered defense.
  • Coordinate with teammates to time raids on enemy bases for maximum impact.
