• US Arsenal: Varies
  Includes iconic, technologically advanced firearms like the M16 rifle, M60 machine gun, and M79 grenade launcher, supported by ordinance like napalm strikes.
• NVA Arsenal: Varies
  Features rugged and reliable weaponry suited for guerrilla warfare, such as the Type 56 rifle (AK-47), SKS carbine, RPD machine gun, and RPGs.
• Booby Traps: Traps
  A key tool for the NVA faction, allowing players to place a variety of hidden traps to injure and demoralize the advancing US forces.

• Firearms: Varies (Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Prototypes)
  A diverse arsenal of modifiable firearms. Ammunition is scarce, making resource management critical.
• Melee Weapons: Axes, Crowbars, Makeshift Blades
  Last-resort weapons for desperate close-quarters encounters when ammunition runs out.
• Improvised Tools: Traps and Gadgets
  Players can craft items on-the-fly, such as tripmines, motion sensors, and toxin grenades, to gain a tactical advantage.

• Operator Cosmetics: Players can customize their Operators with a variety of cosmetic items, including different armor looks, helmets, and voice lines. These are likely unlocked through a seasonal Battle Pass and in-game store.

Progression is class-based. Players choose from 19 specialized roles (e.g., Officer, Machine Gunner, Medic) for each faction and level them up to unlock new historical weapon variants, equipment, and cosmetic uniform options. The focus is on teamwork and mastering a role rather than individual character stats.

Progression is persistent between extraction runs. Players choose from multiple Operator archetypes (Assault, Recon, Infiltrator, Medic, Technician), each with a deep upgrade tree. Loot and XP earned from successful extractions are used to unlock new gadgets, abilities, cosmetics, and rare weapons.

The game features six vast maps designed for 100-player combat. The environments are authentically crafted to reflect the Vietnamese theater of war, including dense jungles, sprawling river networks, treacherous rice paddies, rugged hills, and coastal cities.

The game features procedurally scrambled maps within the 'Ember Zones'. Key locations, objectives, and extraction points shift with every playthrough, ensuring high replayability. The environments are dynamic, with hazards like acid rain, gas clouds, and low gravity appearing unpredictably.

• Huey Helicopters: Air Vehicle (US Only)
  A game-changing vehicle for the US faction. Players can pilot these for troop transport, mobile spawn points, supply drops, and gunship support.
• Patrol Boat, River (PBR): Naval Vehicle (US Only)
  Heavily armed riverine craft used by US forces to control the map's waterways and provide fire support.
• Armored Vehicles: Ground Vehicle
  Includes armored jeeps and troop carriers for both factions, used for transport and light fire support.

• Operator: Playable Human Character
  Players choose from a roster of Operator archetypes (Assault, Recon, Infiltrator, Medic, Technician), each with unique gadgets and upgrade trees.
• Executioner: Playable Monster Character
  A player-controlled monster with unique powers, tasked with hunting down the human Operator squads.

• Warfare
  The signature game mode. A massive tug-of-war where two 50-player teams fight to capture and control sectors across the entire map.
• Offensive
  An asymmetrical battle where one team must attack and capture a series of objectives in a linear fashion, while the other team must defend them.

• Extraction Runs
  The main gameplay mode where squads infiltrate an Ember Zone with a specific goal (e.g., retrieve an artifact, rescue a VIP). The primary objective is to complete the mission and successfully extract while surviving threats from other players and the environment.

The game is built around 100-player (50v50) multiplayer battles. At launch, it will feature six modes, including the classic 'Warfare' (sector control) and 'Offensive' (attack/defend), plus four new rotating modes designed to maximize replayability.

The core gameplay is a session-based, asymmetric PvPvE extraction shooter where multiple squads of 3-4 players compete on the same map. A key feature is the ability for some players to take direct control of powerful monsters to hunt the human Operators.

• Q: What is Hell Let Loose: Vietnam?
  A: It is a new, standalone entry in the Hell Let Loose franchise. It's a realistic, 100-player tactical FPS set during the Vietnam War, focusing on asymmetrical combat between US and NVA forces.
• Q: Is it a DLC for the original Hell Let Loose?
  A: No, it is a completely separate, standalone game with its own maps, factions, and mechanics. You do not need to own the original Hell Let Loose to play it.
• Q: What makes the factions 'asymmetrical'?
  A: The two sides have fundamentally different abilities. The US forces have technological superiority with flyable helicopters and heavily armed patrol boats. The NVA counters this with guerrilla tactics, stealth, booby traps, and the ability to build extensive underground tunnel networks for rapid redeployment.
• Q: When will it be released?
  A: The game is scheduled to be released sometime in 2026.

• Q: What is Project Spectrum?
  A: Project Spectrum is an upcoming asymmetric PvPvE tactical horror shooter. Multiple squads of players enter a monster-infested, procedurally generated zone to complete objectives and extract, all while hunting each other.
• Q: What does 'asymmetric' mean for this game?
  A: It means the teams are not equal. Not only do human squads fight each other (PvP) and AI monsters (PvE), but some players can also take on the role of powerful monster characters to hunt the human players.
• Q: How does the Sanity system work?
  A: Witnessing horrors and spending time in the Ember Zone drains your Sanity. As it drops, you experience audio-visual hallucinations that can impact gameplay, and at critical levels, you can even temporarily lose control of your character.
• Q: When will it be released?
  A: The game is expected to be released in 2025, but a specific date has not yet been announced.

• SPECULATIVE PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. As official specs were not provided, these are hypothetical projections for a next-generation tactical shooter built on Unreal Engine 5, with requirements likely exceeding the original Hell Let Loose.
• Laptop Performance Note: A title like this would demand a high-performance gaming laptop for the best experience. Actual performance would vary significantly based on the final game's optimization and the laptop's specific hardware configuration.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU would be essential to handle the advanced graphical features of Unreal Engine 5 and the large-scale 100-player battles.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's intense firefights and dense jungle environments would require a laptop with a cutting-edge cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling and sustain performance.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A powerful multi-core mobile CPU would be critical for handling the complex ballistics, large player counts, and physics calculations.
