News from Hell Let Loose Vietnam HQ :

We've been monitoring your feedback and are currently working on Hotfix 1.7.1. We hope to share more details next week.

Patch 1.7 introduced PSSR support for PS5 Pro, helping deliver sharper visuals and improved image stability.

XBOX: For Xbox players, we plan to introduce FSR 4.1 once the technology is available and we've completed the necessary integration. This should improve image quality while using the console's hardware more efficiently.

We're also looking to bring PlayStation's recently announced QSSR technology to the standard PS5, offering similar improvements to image clarity and stability.

Please stay tuned for news on these integrations.

Hell Let Loose Vietnam : Field choice
Your team is falling back to the river. There's nowhere else to go.
They'll have to swim across but the enemy is closing in — and they're going to reach the riverbank before your teammates make it to the other side.

You're in a heavily damaged boat. You could go back and pick up as many as you can and get them across before the enemy arrives but there's a problem.

Too many hits...and you will explode, killing all onboard, they will blame you for team kills....

WHAT DO YOU DO?

A — TURN BACK : Risk the boat and try to save as many teammates as possible.

B — KEEP GOING : Leave them behind and get ready to defend the last objective.

Hell Let Loose Vietnam : Field choice
A squadmate makes a serious mistake with the petrol. It nearly gets several men killed.

That night, back at base, your squad heads to the go-go bar.

Do you invite him?

A — Take him with you
B — Leave him behind

You have a high-value prisoner.
Your squad is on foot.
The enemy is closing in.

The prisoner is deliberately slowing you down.

A — Release him : He will tell his comrades where you're heading.

B — Kill him : Your squad escapes, but you execute a prisoner.

Your squad is retreating.
One of your men is badly wounded and cannot walk.
Carrying him has slowed the entire squad, and the enemy is closing in fast.
The men are talking about leaving him behind.
Some are even saying he should be killed rather than captured. Tensions are at boiling point, and the men are turning on each other.

You have two choices:

A — Secretly give the wounded man an overdose of morphine.

He dies peacefully. The men believe he simply succumbed to his fatal injuries. The burden of deciding his fate is lifted, and the unit can move on.

B — Carry on.

Keep carrying the wounded man and hope the squad can move fast enough to escape the enemy.

But tensions are reaching breaking point. The men may mutiny and leave you behind with the wounded man.

Hell Let Loose Vietnam : Field choice
You're attacking an enemy position.
Your squad is closing in.
Then you hear.... “MEDIC!”
You turn around, another squad has a man down but if you stop to revive him, you'll be separated from your squad.

You know the attack is about to happen.

You have seconds to decide.

A — Turn back : Leave the attack and go for the wounded soldier.

B — Keep moving : Trust another medic to get him but if nobody does...he's going to die, alone.

Would you turn back?

The Huey is dangerously low on fuel.
You have badly wounded men onboard.
Between you and your base sits an enemy garrison.

You have two choices:

A — Make the sacrifice. Land and get the wounded men out then fly the Huey straight at the enemy garrison, killing as many of them as you can — knowing you probably won't survive. The wounded men now have a chance of making it home.

B — Keep flying

Stay on course and use every last drop of fuel to get closer to HQ but once dry the must Huey landing, you and the wounded men, will be stranded — with an entire enemy garrison hunting them down.

What do you choose?

🅰️ Sacrifice yourself and save the wounded

🅱️ Keep flying and gamble on reaching HQ
