So you’ve got the basics of Hell Let Loose under control—you can spot a German two pixels wide from 200 meters away and maybe even hit your shot. You’ve probably dabbled with different classes, and perhaps you’ve stepped up as squad leader in the absence of a more decisive player. Now it’s time to move beyond the fundamentals and start thinking like a seasoned player. This guide offers 20 tips tailored for intermediate players—designed to sharpen your game sense, encourage proactive play, and provide tactical insight across various roles.

1. Master the Support Trick in Enemy Territory

When operating behind enemy lines, getting a garrison up stealthily can turn the tide. While a commander can drop 100 supplies, the parachute reveals your plans. Instead, have a support drop 50, suicide, and spawn another support from a nearby OP for the second 50. This allows you to build a garrison without broadcasting your location.

2. Make Use of Silent Artillery

Players often tune out of command chat. But artillery players—though quiet—can be devastating allies. When flanking, pushing, or spotting enemy garrisons, ping targets and ask command chat if the arty player is listening. This collaboration can annihilate entrenched enemies and shift momentum.

3. Know Your Active Sectors

In Warfare mode, only certain sectors matter for capping and defending. Being outside these active zones renders your actions moot. Always double-check your map to confirm your presence is contributing to the fight.

4. Offer Support to Blueberries When Your Squad Is Idle

Your squad leader may be inactive or building elsewhere. Don’t let your supplies sit unused—keep an eye on nearby engineers, squad leaders, or A.T. players who might benefit from what you’re carrying.

5. Be a Commander Who Builds, Not Just Orders

Instead of relying on a disorganized team, spawn a supply truck and build critical garrisons yourself. This eliminates frustration and massively boosts team performance, especially in Red Zones.

6. Build Nodes Immediately as Engineer

Resource generation is essential from the start. Ask for a supply truck at match start, and lay down nodes early. This powers future bombing runs, tanks, and critical drops.

7. Carry Explosive Ammo to Support Your AT

Support class isn’t just about supplies. Choose the explosive ammo loadout to help your AT buddy who will burn through rockets quickly when facing armor threats.

8. Stick Near Resource Nodes for Cooldown Reduction

Being close to nodes isn’t just symbolic—your cooldown for supply drops or healing kits gets reduced by 2.5 minutes within 50 meters. Maximize uptime by playing smart around node positions.

9. Coordinate With Tanks

Tanks need eyes and support. Communicate with armor when nearby—either in squad or proximity chat. Working alongside armor gives your squad firepower and protection while giving the tank better awareness.

10. Use Jeeps for Fast, Unexpected Flanks

Light vehicles like Jeeps are underutilized, but they’re fast and ideal for deep flanks. Request them from command to outmaneuver enemies and surprise from unusual angles.

11. Remap Your Map Key

The in-game map is a goldmine of intel. Don’t let clunky keybinds hold you back—map it to something easy to reach like Tab or G so you can check it constantly without losing flow.

12. Drop Supplies Proactively for Future Garrisons

Don’t wait for orders. When the front shifts or a point is captured, drop your supplies in anticipation of where new garrisons will be needed. A prepared map wins matches.

13. Don’t Fear Defense—Own It

Offense is flashy, but defense wins games. Most players chase action, leaving objectives vulnerable. Holding down a newly captured point often brings more fights on your terms and keeps the win within reach.

14. Lock Your Squad and Mark as Mic Only

Want a better squad experience? Lock your squad, mark it as mic-only, and advertise it in text chat. You’ll attract players who want to communicate and take the game seriously.

15. Try Half-Tracks in More Situations

Half-tracks can act as mobile spawn points and armor light support. While they’re often overlooked, they provide both utility and a bit of fun. Learn to incorporate them into your strategy.

16. Redeploy Without Mercy

Sometimes the best move is to die. Whether you’re caught out of place, need to reinforce, or want to respond to a backcap, smash that redeploy button. Quick repositioning wins objectives.

17. Place Triangular Garrison Setups

Instead of one garrison directly on the point, place three in a triangle pattern around it. This gives your team spawn options and reveals which direction the enemy is attacking from.

18. Ask Early for What You Need

Whether you need ammo, supplies, or support, start communicating early. Many players won’t speak unless prompted, so break the silence and make sure your role is supported.

19. Clear Buildings with Satchels

That one enemy camping upstairs causing chaos? Don’t waste time—just drop a satchel on the whole building and call it out in voice chat. If your team blows up with him, maybe they should’ve used mics too.

20. Take the Long Route—It’s Worth It

Most players think in the short term. Big flanks take time but can cripple defenses and flip the match. Investing 5 minutes in a proper rotation can be more impactful than 20 minutes of deadlock.
