Description

About the Game

The Front takes place in a post-apocalyptic sandbox world populated by mutants and hostile factions. On this war-torn land, players will engage tyrannical imperial forces, exiles, thugs, and rebels in an epic battle that will determine the fate of humanity. Team up with your friends, explore ruins and enemy areas, craft weapons and equipment, build bases and defend them with tower defense-style traps, upgrade tech, pilot tanks and helicopters, battle the elements, and contend with fearsome foes!

Build your own doomsday war machine!

The Vehicle Assembly system is now live! From chassis and frame to engines, weapons, and armor modules — mix and match parts freely to craft your custom combat vehicle from the ground up.

Build a high-speed assault rig, a heavy firepower beast, or a bizarre machine fueled by pure imagination — it’s all in your hands. Assemble, modify, upgrade — you’re in full control. Performance, looks, and tactical style all come together to define your war machine.

And this is only the beginning. In the future, we’ll be adding mechanical claws, flying vehicles, and customization options like paint jobs and graffiti. Your war machine won’t just be powerful — it’ll be uniquely yours.

Sandbox-style Construction

Construct bases using hundreds of different building components to protect your resources and shelter yourself from this merciless world. The only limit is your imagination!

Tower Defense-style Traps

Strategically route monsters through a brutal crucible of traps designed to slaughter explosive beasts, invisible assassins, flying soldiers, and other catastrophically powerful invaders.

Craft Modern Vehicles

Craft and pilot over 20 types of functional vehicles, including pickup trucks, logging trucks, mining trucks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, attack helicopters, and more. In the future, The Front will also feature modifiable base vehicles, allowing players to build mobile steel behemoths.

Logical Systems and Circuits

Use monitoring devices such as pressure plates and infrared sensors along with complete circuits to construct automated defense systems.

Raid Enemy Encampments and Bases

Arm yourself with a variety of melee weapons, firearms, explosives, and even tanks and helicopters, then use these tools of war to raid the bases of other players, or simply protect your own territory.

Recruit Followers

Use Jammers to subdue NPCs you come across in the world. In addition to helping you in combat, these NPCs will also put their talents to use at workbenches to help you improve the efficiency of your operation and produce resources more quickly.

Planting and Cooking

Craft water-powered equipment, then use it to develop your own agricultural system including spraying and planting. Choose from dozens of recipes to cook delicious meals.

Explore a War-Torn World

Trek across deserts, forests, snowlands, swamps, and more to find unexplored and treacherous areas such as underground research institutes and restricted military bases. Along your way, you will loot structures, collect blueprints, and claim airdrops, all in the name of making yourself a force to be reckoned with.

Do not buy. Abandoned cash grab of a half finished janky and laggy game. A shame really. It had so much potential. But the devs are dishonest and lazy.

The game has a really neat idea, it was fun to play even with the bugs, they were developing it shortly after release, but at this point it seems that it was a cash grab. No real content updates, bare minimum on

PVP is a joke for this game. The Devs/Admins refuse to do anything about the hackers coming in using illegal vehicles to destroy bases and take all your stuff at will. They don't answer questions or respond in any way

I don't know what happened to this game, but it was peak when it was most like Rust. I really enjoyed the team aspect of the game when exploring, base building, harvesting, or killing bosses/the base mazes. It looks

Thought it was worth it at first getting into the game figuring stuff out it's all fun at the beginning, but it was just a cash grab. Devs are braindead, and aren't pushing and updates what so ever.. Just server
