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.

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.

• Malva: Support Operator (Healer)
  The primary medic. She can throw down 'Healing Pins' for allies and her ultimate deploys a Medkit Drone that creates a large healing aura.
• Orbit: Support Operator (Reviver)
  A crucial support for PvE. His ultimate, Crystalline Injection, allows him to self-revive or instantly revive a downed teammate from a distance.
• Pill: Recon Operator
  An intel-gathering specialist. His ultimate ability deploys a 'Stalker Drone' that flies forward, spotting and highlighting enemies for the entire team.
• Ram: Breacher Operator
  A close-quarters specialist. His ultimate ability is the 'Hyperdash,' which sends him rocketing forward, instantly killing any enemy he directly hits.

• 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.

• Expedition
  A cooperative, roguelike mode where a team of three players must complete a series of randomized objectives, defeat hordes of alien enemies, and take down a final boss to successfully complete a run and earn rewards.
• Team Deathmatch
  A classic 6v6 mode where two teams compete to be the first to reach the score limit by eliminating players on the opposing team.
• Conquest
  A large-scale 6v6 objective mode where teams fight for control of three zones on the map, earning points over time for each zone held.
• Plant-the-Bomb
  A round-based, competitive 6v6 mode where one team attempts to plant a bomb at one of two sites, while the other team defends.
• Escort
  An asymmetrical 6v6 mode where one team must escort a moving payload to its destination, while the other team tries to stop its progress.

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.

• 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.

  A: Yes, Shatterline supports full cross-platform play, allowing you to team up with friends on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

• 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.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus would be a critical feature for reducing latency and ensuring the best possible performance and responsiveness in a tactical FPS.
• Game Name: Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Shatterline. This information is based on the official PC specifications from developer Frag Lab, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a free-to-play, fast-paced arena FPS, the requirements are designed to be accessible to a wide range of hardware. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance. For a competitive shooter like Shatterline, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled GPU very important, even with the game's modest requirements.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: While the game is not overly demanding, a sufficient TGP ensures the GPU can consistently deliver high framerates without throttling during intense firefights.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's fast-paced nature can put a sustained load on components. A good cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for competitive play.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core CPU performance is important for processing player inputs and game logic with minimal delay. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game does not have official integrated support for upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR. Performance is based on native resolution rendering. Players must rely on driver-level solutions or third-party tools if they wish to use these features.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Shadow Quality, Post Processing, and Effects Detail. For competitive play, many users will opt for lower settings to maximize framerate and visibility.
