Hell Let Loose Beginners Guide Part 1. The Basics.

[@flavionichele7214]

I have to say the community has been very welcoming. I feel it’s an older gamer that plays HLL as opposed to CoD or BF. the communication is more mature and vets take time to teach new gamepass players like me. The game is fun even when you lose. If no one is taking then it is a bit tedious and dull since you are kind of on your own and the game becomes so much more difficult. This might be counter intuitive but I recommend being a SL if you are new. It is the best way to learn the game. I did it and in no time lvl 20.

[@DarkcreepSTREET]

This was how battlefield was like back in the day

[@jayebejer7431]

I'm 42 and just got into this and it's a breath of fresh air.. I'm on ps5 but have a mic and all the vets have been super helpful and the community seems so wholesome and supportive ❤️

[@digthathole5521]

New, also a geriatric, but is there anywhere to find a squad that is tactical? A teammate that strategizes. 90%, no, 95% of the matches I play it's just every man for himself.

[@trollusa3206]

Nice tutorial. I have been playing about five days and learned a lot here. Guys if you wanna learn how to play without being a crazy game play at 3 am and you will find a bunch of games with 2-5 players per side which is fun. I learned a lot last night

[@Schneids]

dont gotta be 3am for that lol. Just find a low pop server and hop in. Usually it'll be a clan or someone trying to get their server populated and they'll happily help you just to get you to stay in haha

[@kingseal1017]

Dude, this is a great tutorial. I love the level of detail and the authenticity in the delivery! lol Thank you.

[@Schneids]

Thanks! It's a bit all over the place and not as organized as it should be but I covered like 99% of what I wanted too

[@davidhanson7005]

Thanks for the tips. I'm brand-spanking new to the game. I spent some time in the training range to get a feel of the mechanics and weapons, and this video really helps put some other information into perspective. This game is a beast, and I'm excited.

[@Schneids]

yeah there's definitely a lot, especially when you start getting to the command level lol. Im glad I could help out, keep up the good work!

[@dred8616]

[@Schneids]

good luck out there! hopefully you have a basic idea and I didn't just ramble on for nothing lol

[@Theswfan2]

you know this video started a little dry, but you are very entertaining and hilarious throughout the video. The entire AT part killed me. Thanks for the tutorial, I cant wait to get into the game.

[@Schneids]

Yeah I started it sober sorry. Hope you enjoy the game!

[@mykiesangria1904]

much appreciation on these videos, my man. I know this editing shit is tedious so I appreciate you doing this for the community of hell let loose. I’ve been playing Battlefield games for the past 15+ years and I’m super stoked to finally find a pretty realistic military Sim for Consol. Anyways, just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work, and I appreciate the videos.

[@Schneids]

I just have a bottle whiskey next to me the whole time, makes it more fun lol. honestly I just kinda shoot from the hip and try to stay on one subject at time. kinda why its all over the place here and there, but so many aspects of the game relate to one another that its hard to not talk about one thing after mentioning another

[@1970cornbread]

what a gem!! good stuff amigo. I am one of the noobalicious folks jumping into this thing, but loving every minute. Your guidance played a large part in my enjoyment. Like a pimp of information. gracias !!

[@Schneids]

good to hear man. its definitely a bit of a learning curve but once you understand the game better and actually see whats going on it'll feel much less overwhelming. Don't be afraid to make suggestions to your SL if you see a better route or flank to take!

I'm coming from Battlefield 1 so my first couple games of Hell let loose were just me being confused as fuck but after watching some guides my third game was a blast.

Thank you brother. I'm from the millionth 1st infantry of the xbox gamepass noob army. I hope we can all learn to play better and communicate as intended and understand this is not like any other title from console. We must train. I already can tell I love this game even though I don't know shit at this moment but I have been learning and enjoying the rounds I have played.

[@Schneids]

hahaha good stuff man. I hope you enjoy it. I imagine its way more difficult on console but I love new guys. They like to listen and follow instructions better than the average vet who "knows everything and doesn't have to listen because I know everything."

[@alexanderstainton3199]

Got flustered for one second.. puts f bombs in every sentence to compensate lol. Great guide thank you.

[@loganwinger9223]

The breakdown of how to take over territories and sectors at the end of the video was great. I have only recently started to play and have spent more time just hunting people down and trying to push straight into strong points like a CTF round. Clearly that is not the way to roll. There seems to be far fewer people that actually communicate and lead, but every now and again there seems to be a decent SL and Commander. Thanks for all the info!

[@Schneids]

yeah its a little weird. There actually used to be 2 capture points per territory, so 2 out of the 3 sectors would have a cap point that you had to take, not 100% sure why they changed it to just 1 now but its nice fighting in areas that you havent fought in in a while. Makes the maps seem different every time you play.

[@siliniaTL]

man this was a funny guide, i think that you could cut some dead moments when switching between arguments, nice content

nice video bro, been thinking about buying hell let loose and this vid relly helped out. Laughed my ass off on the Anti-Tank Class too xD

all about that tank booty man. The in-game community is usually pretty helpful too. At least with myself and my friends if we have a new guy we'll happily give you some help and hints. Unfortunately there is a lot of "mute" squads where barely anyone talks, but if that happens, you're always allowed to switch squads if you want lol. Voice comms definitely add a fuckload to this game

[@Jambi2435]

[@Marty6804]

Good vid but at 29:48 you mention that the BAR has the same ammunition as the Garand. This is true but mentioning that they share the same bullet type might lead people to believe that bullet caliber actually means something in this game but it does not at all. The garand can one shot enemies anywhere above the knee up to 200 meters and the BAR can only one shot enemies above the knee up to 100 meters. Weapon type and range is mostly what dictates damage done to enemies. Just don’t want to confuse new players. Also, about shooting tanks in the side. You danced around this a bit but I feel maybe we should clarify something. You say never to shoot any medium and heavy tanks from the side. This is true only when you are on the allies (and also when fighting any heavy no matter what side). The bazooka can’t penetrate medium armor from the side, true. But this is not the same for the German panzerschreck. The panzerschreck and two shot the medium Sherman from the side. You may know this but I feel it should be clarified because this is an important advantage for the Germans.

[@Schneids]

Well if you don't want to confuse new players trying to explain the different AT weapons and different types of tanks is DEFINITELY gonna do it lol. I do appreciate the input, but like I said in the description, it's a "basic" tutorial. I'm not even going over each loudout for each class specifically for that reason. Some people don't know much about WW2, and trying to identify different tanks is just gonna be a huge task itself at times. I'd rather just see all the new people go for the sure thing and hit the tanks in the ass, rather than someone mistaking a medium sherman for a heavy and doing absolutely nothing but scratching the front armor. Also as far as I know, a Bazooka round to the ass end of a PzIV on a side shot will actually damage it as well. I plan on eventually making videos for each class and going over them in much more depth and detail as well as the loadouts and when they're best used in whatever situation. AT alone has 3 totally different loadouts that play in completely different ways.

[@99bogatyrs99]

Enjoyed your video and found it most informative. I am looking forward to future installments. Can you do an update for consoles? One comment: I think the "F" shots are overdone. As you went along, they increased substantially, which is consistent with your consumption of liquid refreshments. I am not a prude; heaven knows I heard enough of it in the service. My main concern is the kids that will no doubt listen to this, and we don't need to encourage this in the young. It is the responsible thing to do. Thanks

[@Schneids]

The "kids" probably shouldn't be playing a game that is rated for 17+ years of age, and includes extreme violence and dismemberment. They're going to hear way worse in game. Maybe the "responsible thing to do" would be to monitor what kids play and keep them away from adult games. But I appreciate your opinion, but this is just the way I speak, because believe it or not, it helps a speech impediment I have.

[@OldManGamer65]

[@Ghryst]

as a beginner who was confused by the different game modes mentioned in the server lists, i strongly suspect this guy is describing in great detail, one particular type of match/game mode, but never actually saying which one his very detailed information relates too. brb, going to completely screw someone's battle, by applying the wrong strategy to a different game mode without realising it.

[@Schneids]

or Squad Leader even. Still a good amount of responsibility there. You still need to relay any important info to your squad as well as other squads, plus the CO, get them (your squad) spawn points, hopefully inspire/lead them to the frontline, and ultimately build up some fuckin morale.

I personally first played Hell Let Loose on the Game Pass, after few games when I actually met some long time players and talked with them, they explained to me how the game works and I just got it on Steam the same day because I liked it so much. Its thanks to ppl that actually welcome new players and help them understood how the game works that community can get bigger and the fact that Iam on Steam and not on the Pass doesnt change the fact that Iam still new and learning so I dont see why there is so much hate towards Pass players, and before you mention comms, often times my squad members doesnt use voip even when they are higher level and on Steam. Just give it some time, weak will fall off and ppl that stay will learn

[@Schneids]

@@Shimmino exactly dude. I have over 1000 hours in the game I believe and there's still plenty of times I'll join a squad and no ones talking and they're all higher level than me.

[@siLence-84]

You’re completely wrong about the numbers - pinging something and giving a number does absolutely NOTHING. The compass numbers are only useful for tank crews, people RIGHT ontop/behind you. Your “302” is not the “302” someone 100m away from you has. If you’re gonna make a “tutorial” video… make sure you know what you’re talking about. Edit: you’re wrong about the strongpoints as well - or at least sounded wrong. The strongpoints are not the same in every sector. They vary in size. Some are much bigger/smaller than others. Also, blue zone garrisons lock at 5m - you don’t have to be directly on top of it to lock it. M Red zone garrisons lock at 100m. They also cost double the supplies (100) than a blue zone garrison costs (50). I didn’t watch the video, but I hope it isn’t plagued with more mistakes. Nothing is worse than commanding some idiot who thinks reinforce works in the entire sector, when it only works for players inside the strongpoint. It also only works when you’re defending a point that you already have control of.

[@Schneids]

So you clearly didn't watch everything and I don't blame you for that, but maybe you should before you start saying, "youre completely wrong!" Check out 23:03 and I literaly explain exactly what your saying. And no it doesn't do "absolutely nothing." It's fairly simple to figure out, even if the guy is 1000m away from you, where his "270" is because guess what, this is gonna blow your mind... I hope your ready for this.... 270 is West no matter where you look. Holy fuck I know its crazy! So if you simply look at your map, and look at where your friendly unit whos calling it out is, you can go straight west of him and get a much better idea of what hes saying rather than just being a dick and saying "thats not helping idiot." If you actually take a second to learn how to read the map you can figure out quite a bit of information. Also, if you're actually sticking with your squad and not being some blueberry off in fuckfuckland by yourself, your callouts are gonna be a lot closer to your friendlies. But I understand that's probably too much for you to figure out and too confusing so I'll let that slide. When I explained that the strongpoints are "all the same," again if you actually listened, I explained that they map randomly creates them when it loads, but they'll always be in the same 3 spots in each territory. It's not gonna randomly create one in the middle of a field somewhere that you've never seen it before. Thanks for trying to prove me wrong again with that as well. Your 3rd point, 5 meters is basically directly on top of it. 5 meters is 15 feet, shorther than the average length of a sedan. If a blue zone garry locks out, then yeah you can assume the enemy is "basically on top of it." Are we really gonna argue over 15 feet in a map thats laterally 6000 feet? I clearly explained that it costs 100 supplies in a red zone in another video that deals with placing Garrisons and using Support or Squad Leader. This video is an intro to the basics, not an indepth guide for support. Hence why I only spend a minute or two on each class. But again you said you didn't even watch the video so why am I even typing all this? Because "nothings worse than commanding some idiot" and someone who clearly doesn't listen or pay attention to shit.
