Status: live map data
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam launched August 13, and this tool now runs on real extracted data for all six maps - the actual tactical map art, the in-game lettered/numbered grid, and all 15 capture points by their real names and positions. Map art is pulled from files the developers have marked as temporary and may be replaced in a later patch, in which case this page will be updated to match.
All 6 Hell Let Loose: Vietnam maps
HLL Vietnam ships with six maps at launch, each drawn from a real operation or location from the war and built around a distinct mix of terrain and combat style. See the full tactical map art for each on the HLL Vietnam maps page.
| Map | Based on | Terrain and combat style |
|---|---|---|
| Thanh Hóa Bridge | Operation Rolling Thunder, 1965–1968 | River crossings over the Nam Ma River, mountainous terrain, and close-quarters fighting through villages and trainyards around the heavily defended "Dragon's Jaw" bridge. |
| Huế Outskirts | Tet Offensive, January 1968 | Mountainous terrain and terraced farmland surrounding Huế as US forces push to retake the city, with vertical combat and close-quarters fights around fortified bases and industrial areas linked by waterways. |
| Vạn Tường | Operation Starlite, August 1965 | The first major US offensive of the war, opening with an amphibious beach landing and helicopter assaults. A mix of semi-urban village fighting and dense jungle combat, with a river network for boats and infantry ambushes. |
| Quảng Ngãi | Operation Piranha, September 1965 | The follow-up to Starlite. Monsoon flooding, rocky cliffs and caves, bamboo forest, and open lowlands, with fighting moving between tight jungle, river crossings, and clifftop positions. |
| Đắk Tô Airfield | Battle of Đắk Tô, November 1967 | A US airfield and hilltop fortifications in the Central Highlands, centred on a long runway scarred by artillery craters. More open than the jungle maps, favouring armour, recon, and coordinated teamwork. |
| Cam Ranh Port | Cam Ranh Bay logistics facility, active by 1969 | A major Air Force and Naval base on a peninsula with a deep-water bay. Dense militarised areas, dry creek beds, and dunes, with open boat skirmishes to the south and close-quarters fighting around the docks. |
