A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hey everyone,

Time is almost upon us, as many have noticed over the last few months we have been highlighting and in some cases sneak peeking into the upcoming ‘Outflank’ update for Hell Let Loose. This week we are excited to confirm that the update will be going live on Tuesday the 7th of December!

We thought to bring this interim update to you all as ‘Outflank’ has some great features which we think players new and old alike will enjoy. We feel that providing a brief summary of some of the items in the update might be worthwhile for you all to get a glimpse of what is coming before Tuesday.

Some of the items to watch out for in the new ‘Outflank’ update include:

New Vehicles:

• Panzer IV
  
• Half-tracks for all factions USA, Germany and Soviet

New Weapons:

• FG42 Automatic Rifle
  
• 1897 Winchester Trench Gun (shotgun)

New Map Variants:

• Purple Heart Lane Offensive GER
  
• Foy Offensive US
  
• Hill400 Offensive GER
  
• Carentan Offensive GER

Additional Improvements:

• New Character Poses and animations in Barracks
  
• Updated and improved SFX
  
• Audio Occlusion
  
• Nametag Occlusion
  
• UI Improvements
  
• Scoreboard and Map Icon Improvements
  
• Resource Generation Improvements
  
• Commander Ability Improvements
  
• Armour Balance Tweaks and Improvements

And a host of fixes and bugs squashed. In addition to the above, lots of work has been done to iron out a magnitude of small items like minor terrain glitches ect.

The above is merely a short summary of the bulk of the ‘Outflank’ update, upon release we will disclose the full changelog which illustrates in detail all the improvements and changes made with this latest update.


Final PTE before 'Outflank' Update (A Call to Arms)
If the above is of interest to you, then we recommend that you check out the last ‘Player Test’ before Tuesday's update.. This is where players jump into the PTE servers and we get to check the overall performance of the updated client.

So if you would like a peak into what is coming with the ‘Outflank’ update next week, join us this Thursday for some fun and final testing. We will be holding the final PTE on Thursday December 2nd at 11am GMT. For those who are new to PTE’s you’ll need to join the Discord and head over to the pte-update11 channel.
