War is chaos, but in Hell Let Loose, that chaos has a job for everyone. Some get to bask in the glory of calling in airstrikes or rolling into battle inside a steel beast. Others are stuck lugging supplies, building fortifications or praying their head doesn’t pop off while reviving a teammate. Not all roles are the same, and let’s face it – some are a blast to play, while others feel like a never-ending shift at the worst job imaginable.
Hell Let Loose: 8 Tips and Tricks We Wish We Knew Sooner
From mastering squad communication to leveraging artillery like a pro, these tips will make you deadlier, smarter, and indispensable to your team.
Some roles give you power. A tank commander rolling through enemy lines? That’s power. A machine gunner pinning down an entire squad? That’s power. But not all roles get that kind of glory. Some exist in the shadows, setting up defenses, hauling supplies or making sure the frontline troops don’t run out of ammo. So the big question is: how do these roles stack up against each other?
14Rifleman
Your job as a Rifleman is to hold the line, provide cover and push objectives with steady, reliable firepower. You’re armed with a rifle – no fancy scopes, no high-tech gadgets, just a solid, accurate weapon that gets the job done. Whether you’re using the M1 Garand, Kar98k or another battle rifle, your shots hit hard and can drop enemies at medium to long range. You don’t have rapid-fire capabilities like an Assault class, so picking your shots carefully is key.
But Riflemen aren’t just about shooting. You also carry an ammo box, meaning you can resupply teammates in the heat of battle. A machine gunner running dry? An Anti-Tank soldier out of rockets? You’re their best friend. Dropping an ammo crate in a safe spot can keep your squad in the fight for much longer.
13Automatic Rifleman
Help Your Team Advance with Sheer Firepower
Want to feel like an action hero holding down an entire enemy squad with sheer firepower? The Automatic Rifleman role is for you. Your job isn’t just about getting kills (though you’ll get plenty). It’s about suppressing enemies – laying down so much gunfire that they’re too scared to move, giving your teammates the opening they need to advance.

From the headshot-popping rifles to shotguns that turn enemies into dust, these weapons are the cream of the crop in Hunt: Showdown 1896.
A well-placed Automatic Rifleman can lock down entire chokepoints, making life miserable for anyone trying to push through. But here’s the thing: once you start shooting, people will notice. The enemy is going to want you gone which means you need to be smart about your positioning. Stay near cover, keep an escape plan in mind and relocate when needed.
Provides Intel to Snipers
Your main job as a Spotter is to be the sniper’s eyes and ears. You’re constantly scanning the battlefield, marking targets and feeding your teammate critical intel. Enemy Officer setting up a Garrison? You spot him first. Machine Gunner pinning down your squad? You tell your Sniper exactly where to place a bullet between his eyes. Without you, your Sniper is either shooting blindly or worse, getting flanked and eliminated.
A good Spotter always has an OP ready, keeping you both in the fight. You also have binoculars, which give you a much better view of the battlefield than a Sniper’s scope. That means you can mark enemies from a safe distance, letting your Sniper focus on aiming instead of scanning.
Revive Wounded Allies
Bullets are flying, explosions are shaking the ground and your teammates are dropping like flies. Who’s going to save the day? That’s right – you. As a Medic, you’re the one keeping the war machine running. You’re not here to rack up kills or charge into battle like a hero in an action movie. You’re here to revive, heal and keep your squad fighting.
With your trusty morphine syringe, you’re the only one who can bring teammates back from the brink of death. See that red skull icon? That’s someone who needs you and fast. But don’t just run in blindly – dying next to your patient doesn’t help anyone. Use cover, wait for the gunfire to die down and then sprint in like a battlefield surgeon on a mission.
Some people like strategy, some people like patience – and then there’s the Assault players, who just want to run headfirst into the action and cause mayhem. If that sounds like you, congratulations: you’ve found your calling. Armed with submachine guns, you’re the tip of the spear, the frontliner, the one breaking through enemy defenses and making life miserable for anyone in your way.
But don’t mistake aggression for recklessness. Charging in blindly is a great way to end up with a bullet sandwich. Good Assault players know when to push and when to fall back, using cover and smart movement to stay alive while keeping the enemy on their toes. It’s fast, chaotic and one of the most fun ways to play.
Driving a Tank or Handling a Gun
Tanks in Hell Let Loose are powerhouses, but they don’t drive themselves. That’s where the Crewman and Tank Commander come in. If you’re in one of these roles, you’re part of an armored juggernaut that can change the course of a battle.
As a Crewman, you’re either driving or manning thegun. Driving is about more than just moving forward – you need to position the tank correctly, use cover and keep your turret angled toward threats. The gunner, meanwhile, has to make every shot count. Tanks have limited ammo and missing shots wastes precious resources.
8Tank Commander
Crewmen Leader
As a Tank Commander, you are in charge of leading two crewmen. You have access to command chat, letting you coordinate with Officers and other squads. That means you’re getting intel, relaying enemy tank positions and making sure your crew knows exactly where to aim.
A good Tank Commander doesn’t just drive into battle blindly. You position your tank where it can do the most damage while staying alive. Vision is your biggest strength and weakness. You’ve got binoculars, giving you a better view of the battlefield than your gunner and driver. But tanks have limited visibility from inside, meaning if you don’t communicate, your crew will be sitting ducks. A great Tank Commander is always talking, calling out enemy movements, and keeping the gun pointed where the action is.
7Machine Gunner
Suppress Enemy Units with Nonstop Fire
Few things are more terrifying than the sound of a fully automatic machine gun ripping through the battlefield. And as a Machine Gunner, you are that terror. Your role is simple but devastating: suppression. You don’t need pinpoint accuracy – you need volume. You’re here to ensure enemies don’t move, pinning them down with sustained fire while your team advances.
A well-placed Machine Gunner can single-handedly control an entire sector of the battlefield, making it impossible for the enemy to push forward. Patience is key so wait for the right moment to unleash a barrage that can catch multiple enemies off guard.
Take Out Enemies’ Big Guns
Snipersin Hell Let Loose aren’t running around quick-scoping enemies like in other games. This role is all about precision, patience and positioning. Your job is to target the enemy’s big guns like Commanders, Officers, Machine Gunners – so the enemy loses crucial leadership and fire support.

Your scoped rifle lets you engage enemies from extreme distances, but it’s not magic. Bullet drop and travel time mean you have to lead your shots and aim carefully. Waste your shots and you’re just a guy with a bolt-action rifle.
5Anti-Tank
For Those Who Love Laying Ambushes and Outsmarting Big Threats
Armed with weapons like the Bazooka or Panzerschreck, you’re the team’s go-to for turning enemy tanks into smoldering wrecks. Taking out a tank isn’t just about running up, firing and hoping for the best. You need to play it smart. Tanks have weak spots (hint: the rear armor is your best friend) and a well-placed rocket can get the job done.
But the moment you fire, you might as well be setting off a giant flare saying, “Hey tank crew, I’m right here!” That’s why positioning is everything. Hit fast, relocate, and be ready to strike again. If you love high-stakes ambushes and the thrill of outsmarting the biggest threats on the battlefield, this is the role for you.
