Get ready for an intense weekend of ultra-tactical warfare as Hell Let Loose Vietnam officially launches its first-ever crossplay open playtest. PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S players can dive into the brutal 50v50 milsim experience for free, with the added excitement of a brand-new map, Đắk Tô Airfield, designed to challenge seasoned players and newcomers alike.
This pivotal playtest marks the debut of cross-platform functionality in Hell Let Loose Vietnam, inviting a massive community of players to clash on the virtual battlefield. The playtest begins today, Friday, July 24, at 6 AM PDT / 9 AM EDT / 2 PM BST / 3 PM CEST, and will run continuously through the weekend, concluding on Monday, July 27, at the same times. It's a significant window for players to experience the game's unforgiving combat and master new strategies.
The star of this open event is undoubtedly the new Đắk Tô Airfield map. While previous Hell Let Loose Vietnam environments often emphasized dense jungle and close-quarters vegetation, Đắk Tô Airfield introduces a compelling change of pace. Players will still find swathes of the iconic dense greenery synonymous with the Vietnam conflict, but the airfield itself presents a vast, open area that serves as a crucial focal point for intense engagements.
This more exposed central location on the Airfield demands a distinct shift in tactics. Players accustomed to relying on concealed movements and ambushes in the jungle will need to adapt quickly to navigating open runways and sparse cover, where every movement carries significant risk. Success will hinge on precise coordination, smart positioning, and a keen understanding of the new map's unique challenges.
For those eager to jump into the fray, head over to the Steam page to request access for the Hell Let Loose Vietnam open playtest. Prepare to adapt, improvise, and fight for survival in this thrilling new tactical landscape. We’ll see you on the airstrip!
