The Front Server Guide

The Front lets players take on the role of a time-traveling resistance fighter. However, before you can rid the world of the oppressive empire, you must choose or create a server in The Front. Here, you’ll learn the game’s server offerings to help kick-start your experience.

The Front Server Types

Similar to games like DayZ, players of The Front must first choose a server before they can get in on the action. Note that The Front’s servers went live on October 11 and introduced three server primary server types for players, which are the following:

• Official Servers: At the time of writing, The Front has official servers in Asia, Europe, and North America. Players can choose among various PVP and PVE servers, the latter of which have server wipes every 45 days.
• Solo/Hosted Servers: Use your PC to set up a server. Customize your server with a solo or hosted server with various parameters, including its name, description, and password.
• Dedicated Servers: Rent a server and deploy it yourself. A dedicated server typically caters to more players than a solo/hosted server.
