Hello Everyone,

Patch 17.1 has been deployed on all platforms!

We’re excited to release Patch 17.1, featuring a range of highly requested Quality of Life improvements and a variety of bug fixes.

This update targets several key areas from our 2025 roadmap, aiming to enhance the overall gameplay experience while the team continues work on the next map and major content update. Stay tuned for more details soon!

Patch 17.1 is just the beginning. We’re committed to bringing even more improvements in upcoming updates throughout the year. Thank you for your continued support!

New Features

Medic Improvements

As part of the ongoing effort to improve Medic gameplay, the Design team has tuned several in-engine values to improve both both performance and playability. As a result of this, the following values now apply:

Full HP on revive
Medic bandage speed is now 2s (this also applies to self bandaging)
Revive speed for all Forces has been reduced to 2s
Medic revive XP increased from 30 to 75
Being revived by Medic XP increased from 30 to 75

Patch 17.1 also introduces the Medic ‘Call & Response’ system, a two-way feature that allows downed players to request a revive.

Downed Players' Perspective

When downed, players can now request a Medic using the [PING] keybind. The UI will update to confirm that this request has been sent.

Medics' Perspective

Medics can respond using the radial ping marker system, helping prioritise revives and reduce unnecessary journeys across the battlefield.

UI Icon Updates

The following UI Icons have been added to facilitate this new feature:

Bipod Rework

The bipod system has been significantly overhauled for more flexible and realistic deployment, improving the overall gameplay experience.

The system now detects objects in the player’s deployed path, rather than relying on hardcoded limits. This reduces instances of clipping into static objects. Deployment inside objects is no longer possible.

Pitch angles now reflect the height of the surface, allowing a wider range of weapon rotation. You can aim lower from low surfaces and higher from elevated ones.

Server-side checks now ensure valid deployment surfaces, fixing issues where deployment would cancel mid-animation. Standing and crouching now share the same deployment limits, eliminating the need to change stances to check for valid deployment surfaces properly.

Explore Mode

Based on feedback from the Explore Mode PTE, we've made adjustments to how Explore Mode is accessed, allowing players to launch it in a true offline environment without needing to connect to the Enlist screen.

On the main menu, “PRACTICE RANGE” has been renamed to “BASIC TRAINING”.

Explore_MainMenu

Explore Mode - Main Menu

Within the Basic Training menu, a new “EXPLORE” tab has been added.

20250619150151_1

Explore Mode - Basic Training Tab

Within the Explore tab, players are now presented with an alphabetical list of all current maps in the game. Selecting one of these will load the player into that particular map.

20250618083601_1

Explore More - Map List

In Explore Mode, the player can:

Explore every section of the map
Play as any role
Use faction/role appropriate vehicles
Use faction appropriate artillery

In Explore Mode, the player cannot:

Gain XP
Win/Lose Matches
Capture any Capture Points

Post Match VOIP

Players can now retain voice communications on the Leadership and Squad channels during the post-match flow, allowing a grace period to discuss the match or plan next steps for the upcoming game.

Admin Camera Features

First Person POV Snapping

Players in Admin Camera can now target lock and snap to a player in which they can view their first person perspective:

Player movements are tracked in real-time
Players can be target locked regardless of faction

If a target locked player is in a vehicle, the camera will follow the vehicle from a 3rd person perspective

Lighting Effects

Following recent updates to the admin camera, there has been a request to introduce filters. The Technical Art team has explored various existing filters used by the community and has created a set of presets designed to enhance the overall experience. Below are examples using Colour Look Up Tables (CLUTs).

Gameplay Adjustments

XP Changes to Promote Positive Play

Increased XP for Destroying Spawns

Previously, players received a base reward of 5 XP toward their level and role for destroying an enemy spawn. However, there was also no way to differentiate between destroying and dismantling. Since dismantling is a riskier move, it did not have a suitable reward to reflect this. This has now been addressed by the following XP buffs:

Destroying Spawns

Destroying Garrisons: 100 XP
Destroying Forward Positions: 100 XP
Destroying Airheads: 150 XP
Destroying Outposts: 50 XP
Destroying Nodes: 100 XP

Dismantling Spawns

Dismantling Garrisons: 150 XP
Dismantling Forward Positions: 150 XP
Dismantling Airheads: 200 XP
Dismantling Nodes: 150 XP

This data is also broken down on the post-match screen. All XP is applied to both the players' career and role levels respectively.

*Note: We are continuously monitoring the XP balance in the game, so while patch 17.1 introduces these XP buffs, we will also be considering buffs to other actions in the game for future patches.

Engineer Node Dismantling Behaviour

Previously, Engineers could not dismantle their own Nodes once built, which was inconsistent compared to other deployables like Hedgehogs.

This behaviour has now been changed to allow Engineers to dismantle their own Nodes.

20250618090111_1

Note:

Friendly Commanders/Officers can also dismantle friendly nodes
No other roles than those listed can dismantle friendly nodes

Map Improvements

Tobruk Improvements

In response to community feedback regarding the stepping effect of the VFX around large buildings, the Technical Art team has developed a new system to enhance VFX occlusion.

This improved system applies volumes around large structures and has now been implemented in Tobruk. Below, you will find a comparison showcasing the improvements made before and after the implementation.

The environment art team has made some visual improvements to the building exterior textures to add more bullet and shrapnel damage giving the town area a more war torn look. Also more ground scatter has been added where it is possible without affecting performance. The town building interiors have had more muck and scatter added to make it feel more lived in.

LOD Improvements

The Technical Art team has begun addressing LOD-related issues raised by players, including abrupt LOD transitions (e.g., between LOD 0 and LOD 1), inconsistent screen size thresholds, uneven triangle density, and large assets using too few LODs.

The initial focus is on barbed wire assets, along with the setup of optimised LOD materials for use on the lowest LODs.

LOD 0 was already efficiently configured with minimal overdraw. However, performance decreased noticeably when transitioning to lower LODs
The optimised LOD material is set to be opaque to reduce the fill rate of masked materials seen at a distance
As texture mapping blurs masked textures, switching to opaque textures improves performance with minimal impact on visual quality

The barbed wire assets have been updated to LOD more efficiently. Previously LOD 0 was on screen from a screen size of 1.0 to 0.1, meaning over 6,000 triangles were occupying the screen space. This has now been balanced so that LOD 0 is visible until 0.5 screen size, after which it transitions and to a model with 50% fewer triangles, remaining until 0.1 screen size.

Barbed Wire - LOD Updates

Another issue affecting distant objects is the use of Hierarchical Level of Detail (HLOD) systems, which optimise performance by merging meshes into lower-detail proxies. These clusters reduce triangle count and material complexity, allowing many objects to render at distance without a performance hit.

However, problems arise when HLOD transitions occur too early, as the system relies on player to object distance without accounting for zoomed views through binoculars, scopes, or tank optics. In these cases, higher-detail models are not restored when expected.

Barbed wire assets, in particular, did not benefit from HLOD passes and appeared overly low poly at distance. The Technical Art team has addressed this by removing barbed wire from HLODs, allowing them to LOD more effectively on their own.

Flare Illumination

In response to community feedback, the Technical Art team is working to enhance flare gun effectiveness in night-time scenarios. We’re currently exploring ways to improve the spread of the particle light associated with the gun's visual effects (VFX) to increase its reach. Feedback is welcome as we continue refining this effect.

Practice Range Improvements

The Practice Range now allows players to sample all available loadouts, regardless of their current in-game role rank. This enables testing of every weapon within a safe, controlled environment.

Practice Range - All Loadouts Unlocked

New Maps with Dynamic Weather

Dynamic weather has been integrated into several legacy maps. The Technical Art team is currently evaluating appropriate lighting and weather conditions to incorporate effects such as snow, rain, and sandstorms across these maps. The new weather manager allows each map to deliver a distinct and immersive experience due to its flexibility.

The technical art team has now updated the Mortain overcast scenario from the older rain VFX to the newer dynamic rain.

Please note that server owners will have the option to disable dynamic weather with the launch of version 17.1.

Improvements to Fog

Community feedback highlighted concerns over excessive fog and difficulty with sightlines on some of the newer night maps. It was found that Elsenborn Ridge (night) had an acceptable level of fog and lighting exposure which the team are using as a basis for improvements.

Based on evaluation and feedback, El Alamein, Omaha Beach and Hill 400 were found to have acceptable intensities of fog, with El Alamein’s fog intensity being welcomed in addressing overly long sightlines.

Kharkov, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Driel, Carentan, Sainte-Mère-Église, Utah Beach, and Stalingrad were found to be excessively foggy.

These have all been updated to leave longer sightlines.

Additional 17.1 Features

Official DX12 Support

Hell Let Loose on PC platforms now uses DirectX 12 as it’s rendering API, offering performance gains during gameplay. Due to the variety of PC setups, we understand that issues may arise with this change. Therefore, an option to switch back to DirectX 11 will be made available in the Video Settings section of the Settings menu.

Note: This update is for our Steam and Epic Games Store players. Since initial launch WinStore has been working on DX12.

New RCON Abilities

New features have been added to RCON for Update 17.1. Server owners will now have the ability to change the following parameters for their servers, note that the changes will not be applied until the next match takes place, or the current map is reset:

Match Timer

The overall match timer is now more flexible, with server owners allowing them to be adjusted within the following ranges based on game mode:

Mode	Current Timer (Minutes)	New Timer Range (Minutes)
Warfare	90	30 - 180
Offensive	150	50 - 300
Control Skirmish	30	10 - 60

Note: The new timer range for Offensive mode is divided by 5 for each Capture Point phase, so a match timer of 300 minutes would give each Capture Point a 60 minute timer for example.

Warm-up Timer

Mode	Current Timer (Minutes)	New Timer Range (Minutes)
Warfare	3	1-10
Control Skirmish	3	1-10

Note: Due to the way that Offensive mode “Warm-up” periods are dictated by its global spawn wave system, we have not yet added the ability to control this but it is something we are open to exploring with future RCON quality of life features.
