Hell Let Loose: Vietnam servers are live, and getting into a match takes only a few clicks from the main menu. The game keeps the 50v50 combined-arms fights the series is known for, then moves the action into jungle, rice paddies, and a new tunnel system. Before you can dig into any of that, you need to load into a Vietnam server.
Quick answer: Launch the game, select ENLIST on the main menu, wait for matchmaking to find a server, then pick the Vietnam server when it appears. You are in once the map loads and your squad screen shows.

There is no server browser to hunt through for a basic drop-in. The default flow uses matchmaking, so the game finds an open Vietnam server for you.
You know it worked when the loading screen gives way to the deployment map and the squad selection panel. From there you spawn in with your chosen role and the match is live.
Why the server search takes time
The search can stall for a bit, and that is expected right now. Because the game is new and a large number of players are all trying to connect at the same time, matchmaking may take longer than usual to slot you into an open Vietnam server. Stay on the search screen and wait rather than backing out and retrying, since restarting the queue puts you at the back again.
Vietnam launched with full crossplay, so PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S players share the same pool. That widens the number of servers you can land on, but it also means the busiest windows fill fast.
What to expect once you are in a match
These servers reward teamwork over racking up kills. You fight alongside your squad, follow the objective, talk to teammates, and stick to the job your role gives you. Going solo tends to get you picked off quickly.
Roles split into combat and support work, and the mix shapes how a match plays out.
| Role type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Combat | Sniper, spotter, grenadier |
| Support | Engineer, medic, and more |
The Vietnam setting brings changes you will notice on the battlefield. Helicopters add air power, dense jungle changes sightlines and cover, and a tunnel system lets teams move and set up in ways the WW2 original never allowed. The vehicle spawn limit for units called in through Commander abilities has also gone up from 5 to 8, so there is more armor and transport in play.
It is still the core Hell Let Loose loop, now with a new period, new terrain, and new tools. Clear communication and a squad that sticks together remain the fastest path to winning a round, so once the Vietnam server loads, find your squad and commit to the objective.
