Wondering how to see enemies in Hell Let Loose? You're not alone. HLL is more of a military simulation than a traditional military shooter. This means that supplies, logistics, and coordination are just as important as combat ability, and you're aiming at opposing fighters.
It also means that the confusing chaos of the game's maps is central to the experience. As a result, something as simple as locating the enemy before they find you can mean the difference between completing your mission and suddenly finding yourself dead. There is no retirement, after all.
Seeing enemies is easier said than done when soldiers try to blend into the massive combat zones. This tips guide will help you roll back the fog of war, whichever class you choose.
How to Spot Enemy Players in Hell Let Loose
Dull colors, terrain, and enemy uniforms naturally make it difficult to find your enemies. Many players make the mistake of looking through their crosshairs for the shapes and silhouettes of enemy soldiers.
Instead, focus on movement. Don't aim down.
Use your full screen and rely on your peripheral vision to detect movement. It's a subtle change, but you'll be surprised how quickly even small movements reveal another soldier's position.
It might seem obvious to a shooter veteran, but gunfire can be a tell-tale for enemy positions. The first is the obvious flare, the flash of light around the end of a gun created by firing a bullet. If the enemy is in your line of sight, it can reveal them instantly.
However, your field of vision is limited. This is where Hell Let Loose's excellent sound design comes into play.
A decent sound system or a pair of headphones will help you place gunfire sources accurately relative to your position. Listen for the gunshots, then face that direction. The following shots can help you focus on enemy classes.
Hell Let Loose is designed to be played cooperatively with your team. This includes a Deep Ping system, allowing your allies to communicate enemy locations for you.
You can do the same, and a squad that can function as a unit with five pairs of eyes, rather than "seeing" independently, has a huge advantage. Simply aim your crosshairs at the target and press left on the D-pad (or click the mouse wheel on PC) to drop a visible marker for you and your team to see.
This is even more true for reconnaissance teams. A two-person team with a sniper can be devastating if the sniper is fed by their spotter. The observer must find shelter and take out his binoculars. Then, following the movements and sounds as before, ping the targets. The sniper can then simply follow the ping indicators and wreak havoc.
