Hey everyone,
Welcome to the first Hell Let Loose Developer Briefing!
Developer Briefing will be a weekly news post from the team that we’ll use to share gameplay features, discuss what’s going on at HQ and more!
To get things rolling, we’re going to be showing off some of the fortifications you’ll be utilising on the frontline.
Fortifications – an introduction
In Hell Let Loose, we’re keen to create an environment where dynamic battles flourish and players are empowered to forge their own strategies on the fly.
One way we’re supporting this is through fortifications, allowing players to fortify areas and create defendable positions.
In a nutshell, fortifications can be categorised into three broad groups:
- Offence
- Defence
- Support
This week, we’re going to give you a glimpse at defensive fortifications.
In the above gif, you can see the US Engineer role scrolling through some of the fortifications at their disposal:
- Barbed wire (Small)
- Barbed wire (large)
- Hedgehog (Germans get the Belgian gate)
- Sandbag nest
The keen eyed among you will also notice a fifth option on the Engineer’s list, the repair station, but we’ll go into more detail on that in the future!
These items can help a team secure a captured strongpoint, or help lock down a specific area of the frontline – the choice is yours!
Teamwork makes the dream work
The Engineer is a flexible class that has the ability to shape the frontline. But, without supplies they can’t build a thing!
This is where the Support role comes in. Support players both carry and deploy supplies that can be utilised by a range of classes, including the Engineer. Our advice for playing the Engineer? Make sure you’ve made friends with someone playing the Support role for maximum efficiency!
That pretty much wraps up the first Developer Briefing. Stop by next week as we look at some of the more destructive fortifications that’ll be at your disposal, we promise it’ll be a blast…
