What Are All the Ranks in Foxhole?

by

In Foxhole, ranks are mostly for show, though the very first ranks do have a couple of minor effects. Many long-time players are proud to display their rank, as it shows their experience and helps others understand who to ask for advice. The Airborne update, released on February 9th, 2026, added a new feature: each faction now has its own set of unique rank names.

How Do Ranks Work & How To Rank Up In Foxhole?

In the game Foxhole, ranks are titles shown in square brackets after a player’s name. Brackets before the name indicate their regiment, which is like a clan. You can view your own rank by pressing the F1 key. Hovering your mouse over that rank will show you all the available ranks for your team.

To climb the ranks, you’ll need to receive positive feedback – called ‘commends’ – from other players. You can give commends by pressing Alt + Left Mouse Button while looking at another player, or through the player list (opened with F1) by selecting the ‘Commend’ option. Also, when someone delivers supplies to a base, everyone nearby will see a notification in the top left corner of the screen allowing them to commend the driver.

The only rewards for reaching new ranks are as follows:

  • leg/tpr (3rd): Players can create map posts.
  • sig/cpl (5th): Players can create their own regiments.

Once you reach a certain level, increasing your rank doesn’t improve how you play the game, but it might give you advantages when interacting with other players.

Players can earn levels by playing, but these levels only serve one purpose: to let players who are below level 5 change their faction after initially committing to one. This ability can only be used once.

The Best Ways To Get Commends In Foxhole

In Foxhole, simply contributing isn’t always enough to get recognized. You’ll need to make a noticeable impact on the battlefield with plenty of players around to witness it if you want to earn commendations.

  • Deliver logistics to frontline bases with a truck.
  • Heal allies as a medic.
  • Help players build and dig.
  • Repair tanks and other vehicles on the frontline.
  • Mine resources in scrap fields alongside other players.
  • Rally troops and lead them on a charge.
  • Be a bus driver and take soldiers to the front.
  • Trade commends with someone else who is working hard with you.

All Warden Ranks In Foxhole

The new Warden ranks are structured more like today’s military ranks, though they also share similarities with the older system. It can be confusing, though, because ranks with the same name don’t always have the same position. For instance, a Warden Captain is now the 13th rank, while previously a Captain was the 11th.
