Good morning, Vietnam
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam transports the acclaimed hardcore tactical shooter into the realities of the Vietnam War. Developed on Unreal Engine 5 with a codebase reworked from the ground up, this intense 50 vs. 50 multiplayer FPS delivers authentic combined-arms combat where communication and squad tactics dictate the outcome. You can join the fight as either the United States Armed Forces or North Vietnamese forces (including the NVA and Viet Cong), engaging in high-stakes firefights across dense jungles, rice paddies, hills, and riverbanks. With an improved tutorial system designed to ease player onboarding, the game offers an accessible entry point for newcomers while maintaining the deep, realistic mechanics valued by series veterans.
Asymmetrical tactics and specialized roles
Victory in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam relies on following the chain of command, objective control, and resource management rather than individual performance. Players choose from 17 distinct battle roles spread across 6 specialized unit types - including Command (Commander), Infantry, Recon (Spotter, Sniper), Armour (Tank Commander, Crewman), Helicopter (Logistics Officer, Pilot - US only), and Mortar Squads (Observer, Support, Gunner). Factions feature unique asymmetrical mechanics: US forces can dominate the skies using operational transport helicopters for fire support and supply drops, while North Vietnamese combatants can construct subterranean tunnel networks to ambush enemies and flank frontline defenses. Both sides can also engage in riverine combat, deploying armed patrol boats to secure vital river networks.
Dynamic battlefields and strategic game modes
Fight across 6 massive maps modeled after decisive historical moments, such as Operation Starlite and Operation Piranha. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam offers multiple game modes designed for large-scale coordination, including Warfare - a 50v50 tug-of-war confrontation for control over 5 battlefield sectors - and Offensive mode, which pits attacking forces against entrenched defenders. Utilize voice communication (VoIP), coordinate fire support, and execute tactical maneuvers to exploit opponent weaknesses and conquer the zone.
