This is the exact reason why I ssearched for a video like this. All game no one asks for a supply crate, then I decide to put one on the strong point. Seconds later someone asks with a stupid ass tone "do we have a support player ?" dickhead.
I just did that today (just got the game yesterday). I asked for supplies to build a garrison but i completely forget and pushed on. Few mins later commander was asking if we built the Garrison
It happens man, don't feel bad. Sometimes there's a lot happening in the game, and sometimes supplies take a while to be delivered. Live and learn, right?
After reaching level 90, I realized that Supply and Engineer are by far my two go to roles. It's crazy how much of an impact you can make on a game without being an officer.
I can't shoot, i cant drive, i cant build stuff. I just play Medic and support. Love that this game isn't like a normal fps and that there are roles for people like me that not yet have knowledge about the maps and engineering role. :)
@@SoulSniperYT sorry dude, the guy above is called Monday, I was saying his work as a medic and support is appreciated. However, I love these videos and really appreciate you doing these, it helps a lot to learn more about this game and, as a bit of a noob myself, your help explaining the game really is fantastic, so thank you!
@@scerpalman Rofl. Im better at Building, map awareness and even shooting now, but my true strength working business management is communication, so i like Squad lead. Good comms and placing spawns is already better than most leads do but im obviously not as effective as i could be. Otherwise i play mostly supply and engineer atm some stormtrooping on trenchmaps or auto-rifle some times too. Im Rank 50-somethig at around 50 hours in-game now.
Playing Support is great. Was defending Foy with level 3 loadout, US team on Offense GER. Holding down alleys and buildings with the grease gun while supplying AT with Explo Ammo to deal with the seemingly endless tanks coming our way was intense and by far some of the most fun I've had in the game.
Yes! As a former offensive lineman in high school and a support main that sense of pride you have in enabling the rest of the team is so much of what makes this class satisfying to me. Those moments were you stumble onto another officer and get that garry down or link up with an AT player and build an AT gun or resupply are what it's all about. You fill that need that everyone else has, and that they always wish someone could fill, but they never expect it to actually happen until you pop in and surprise them. For me, another fun party of playing support is finding a new player who's trying out more supply-dependent class like engineer and teaching them about the different buildings and how they can use them.
Yes! It's the first analogy that came to mind as a former o-lineman! One of the toughest positions to play, yet one of the least appreciated positions. People take you for granted. No one gives you props when you do well but when you f*** up, it's all your fault!
I’d like to see a series where you play an entire game as every role. Either the full game or most of it where you explain why you do the things you see. For example, why you build the OP in that specific place, or why you go with the satchel rather than the bazooka and so on
Recently picked up Hell Let Loose on the free weekend and loved it. Just wanted to say these guides have been fantastic in between playing time to help me pick up the different roles! Thanks again!
A note on switching for supplies, You can do the same thing for engineers so if you are the only squad building nodes, You can swap roles with a buddy and have them do building work too. This is also useful for building up locations.
You are a true Hero for noobies like me. I hope reach ammo box in my journey of support because some squads ask me for it and it's quite frustrating not be able to help them out.
It's always fun when an anti-tank player runs out of rockets and needs another one to finish off a tank and you're able to hook them up with explosive ammo!
I’m new to Hell Let Loose and even I noticed the support role was almost always empty in my squad so I think I’m going dedicated support. Been on the fence about which role I should be but watching your videos cleared it up.
Hell yes! That's awesome! Now, if you're on PC, come play on my server. We need more support guys and we're an amazing community to learn the game with. dsc.gg/soulsniper
Hi fella gamer. Apart from a great channel you have thrown a really cool video there. I’m have been addicted to hell let loose lately, absolutely amazing. Will keep my eyes open for more of your content and notification on here. Have a great weekend bro
Glad to hear you enjoy the content dude, and thanks for supporting the channel! I love Hell Let Loose so much! It's the WW2 multiplayer shooter I've always dreamed of!
I've been playing this game for a couple years now & just tonight was the very 1st time i ran support. My squad leader ask me to switch & follow him & coordinate efforts, he showed me the basics & i came here to fine tune myself into it. Played a couple rounds with the SL help & had a ball & now wanna run support more often.
if assault classes are the bullet that hit the enemy. Support is the rifle that fires them. Without you, every single bullet is useless. you do gods work, keep it at it 💪
Thanks for the vid! I'm new to this game and really needed to know some of the more in depth roles, I've mostly been just playing more simple roles like Rifleman, auto Rifleman, assault, and sometimes machine gunner for suppressive fire and supporting fire. But you got some really informative videos about these roles, you give good examples and make points in a simple yet effective manner, and the soft nudge is how pretty much all players are that I've met so far, I'm really comfortable with how non-toxic this community is, especially with noobs like myself at the moment.
Welcome to Hell Let Loose dude! Glad you liked the video. I've got a role guide for MG, Squad Leader, and Recon as well on the channel so check those out if you want too! Engineer guide is up next.
Used to do TH-cam videos for World of Warships, so I know a quality video when I see one. Short, concise and extremely informative. Well done, just subbed 🤙🏼
@@SoulSniperYT I might need to rewatch this after 2-3 matches trying out Support. I was thinking it took 50 supplies to build a garrison but it seems to take 100. So a Support person cannot help a squad leader place a garrison. I wondered why I couldn't seem to get ANYONE to build a garrison when I dropped supplies. I get the utility of a level 3 and above Support where you can drop ammo boxes, but the early levels seem to be pointless?
If you are in friendly territory, a Garrison only costs 50 supplies, so you can single handedly supply your SL with enough supplies (one box) to build one. But in enemy territory, a Garrison costs 100 supplies. So you can either ask commander for a supply drop, make a supply truck run, or have 1 support guy drop his supplies, then redeploy and switch roles and have another player switch to support and drop their 50 supplies, giving your SL the 100 he needs to build a Garrison. Make sense?
@@SoulSniperYT Absolutely, that's the info that fills the gaps in my knowledge. We had just spawned off an air-head and were trying to get a garrison built. I didn't know enemy territory caused a garrison to cost 100 supplies. Thanks!
like the vids you put out, keep up the great work. i will say you missed one thing with the support, they can spot enemy on the map when a recon plane is up to help out the squad leader
The best thing about Support is that he is the only one beside the sl and commander who can See the enemys with the recon plane so he can get valuable Information and give a heads up for the team
I literally apologized the other day because the SL was kinda new and I pestered him throughout the whole game to put garrisons down. He listened but I could tell he felt shackled to me lol. But I mean. That's the role of the SL. He wanted to just get into firefights, but I kept pulling him away from it lol.
I’m a new player as of Christmas Day. All I’ve done is go to the shooting range and watch your vids. I know I’ll still be a newbie and nowhere near as good as I’d like to be, but I hope to at least be helpful to the team while I learn
Don't be afraid to jump into a live game and pick a role like rifleman so you don't have much for responsibility. Then just tell people you're new and try to help however you can and communicate with your squadmates. You'll do fine!
@@SoulSniperYT today when I get off work will be the first game👍🏽 thank you many. I need to download discord so I can join that as well. Love the channel!!
Earned 30,000 xp in one match today. Not from nodes or grinding, but just for playing the support role. Built 22 structures with engineers while dropping new supplies ever 2.5 mins ( we had a manpower node at the point)
The tone of your voice and humor kind of reminds me of ThisOldTony, LOL! Nice video, though. Support is a really good go-to class and the people who main it are godsends. When I play support, my favorite part is to work alongside Officers to set garrisons down. Other than that, I mainly play on Defense and help the engineers build stuff while giving them supplies every few minutes. It's a really easy way to get commendations on the board!
I'm still very new so I just play rifleman. But once I'm comfortable with what everything is and how it works, I'm probably gonna main support. I always overhear squad leaders complaining about a lack of supplies while defending points
It's a great step up from rifleman because the loadouts are very similar and it gives you an important responsibility that Squad leaders are always in need of.
Question on Nodes... You mention placing them in the first friendly sector due to them being lost if placed in a forward sector that falls, which makes complete sense. My question is, though... If you're doing one of those things where you're support with an engineer (possibly more) and building up a forward area's defenses, would it THEN make sense to just drop a manpower node near the area you're building up? Because over the course of just like 7 1/2 minutes, you'll already be ahead in the supplies department. Heck, if you had two support players both at the buffed supply speed and an engineer, you could really do a LOT of "damage"
Yea, I mean as a general practice I'd say the majority of your nodes should be in the first sector, but being able cut supply cooldowns in half can certainly be a benefit and, hopefully if that allows you to fortify the area well, you will be less likely to lose that sector and your nodes along with it.
Resource nodes are just objects that Engineers can build that generate resources for the Commander to be able to use his or her call in abilities. Think of it like currency for the commander. A fuel node generates fuel which the Commander can use to spawn in vehicles and armor. A munitions node generates ammo for bombing runs, strafing runs, artillery, etc. So basically if your team doesn't build nodes at the start of the game, your Commander will run out of resources pretty quickly and won't be able to support the team with their special call in abilities. Does that make sense? I cover how it works in my Engineer guide here: th-cam.com/video/6DEzh1v2w5c/w-d-xo.html
So I’m torn between support and automatic and medic roles. I want something that’s easy to play but also has some huge utility benefit or bonus for my team. Which do you recommend for a good time while not being too insanely difficult?
Well support definitely has more utility benefit for the team than auto rifleman. Auto rifleman is basically just a combat role. Support gives you supplies and/or ammo, which can help the team more. Especially supplies for building garrisons. Medic, if played right and in the right circumstances, can also be helpful to the team, but less combat effective. It's up to you, but whatever one you choose, watch my tutorial on it and play accordingly and you'll be fine.
I got HLL on console a few months ago and play with my brother. I only recently started playing Support because we were both frustrated by the lack of garrisons from uncooperative SL's or Commanders, and one thing that I have noticed over the 5 or 6 matches I played as Support is that there are almost zero Support players at all. Looking at the rest of my team I can't recall seeing a single blueberry Support symbol. I never thought to do the swap class trick to get two supply crates down though, that would be very handy for enemy territory. Do Outposts stay if the SL switches classes? I ask because usually if my brother isn't squad lead I am.
Welcome man! Good for you for playing the Support role! If an SL switches to Support, the outpost will remain, so that technique will still work for ya!
After this tutorial I have a question if me as a support player help an engie building a node whit my hammer do I get rewarded that xp boost once the nodes give resorces
I add my videos to my steam profile and tag them with Hell Let Loose. When I go to my steam library and click on HLL I've seen my vids there before. Is that what you mean or is there somewhere else you're talking about?
I need help. I can’t get into a match since update on June 5th 2024. “Network error has occurred”. Literally tried everything. Even reached out to Xbox support and they said it’s a developer issue after trouble shooting. Someone please help me out. I can’t even play a single match. I can’t make it past the Home Screen each time for 3 days now.
It's any supplies, not just your own squads. I think they may have reduced the distance it displays from 50m to 30m, at least that's what I recently heard.
How do you request supplies? I'm on ps5 and I found the wheel but when let go or press x nothing happens and I have no idea if the commander got my request or not? I'm confused and I see why nobody plays support. I spawned as a support just to get the 50 supplies only to find out that I need 75 to build a standard bunker let alone a lvl 3? Its super frustrating but I am new
All that does is place a marker on your map. It's still a good idea to actually tell the commander you placed a mark and are asking for supplies (and I would explain what you're going to use them for too). Not on console so I can't say for sure whether your mark is being placed correctly.
I don't get what's so hard for people to switch to support for one life and drop supplies, and then go back to any other class. It's like two steps is more than the average person has brain cells; it would be either that or breathing for them and natural selection takes care of the rest.
When SS adds a piece of wisdom to the community, tis a good day.

Always good stuff.

The worst part about playing support is when you drop supplies that no one uses, and 30 seconds later, someone asks for them.
This is the exact reason why I ssearched for a video like this. All game no one asks for a supply crate, then I decide to put one on the strong point. Seconds later someone asks with a stupid ass tone "do we have a support player ?" dickhead.
That's why you drop when you are asked ti, not to drop assuming someone will need it.
I just did that today (just got the game yesterday). I asked for supplies to build a garrison but i completely forget and pushed on. Few mins later commander was asking if we built the Garrison
It happens man, don't feel bad. Sometimes there's a lot happening in the game, and sometimes supplies take a while to be delivered. Live and learn, right?
Happens all the time
Support back then : helping the team
Support in late 2022: grinding just for the flamethrower
You're not wrong lol
Bro I’m still grinding for it

After reaching level 90, I realized that Supply and Engineer are by far my two go to roles. It's crazy how much of an impact you can make on a game without being an officer.
Support is also a jack of all trades. You can both put up a punch because you basically have the go to guns but also have supplies.
I can't shoot, i cant drive, i cant build stuff. I just play Medic and support.

You forgot that support players also see the recon plane observation on the map. So both SL and support should use those flyby to their benefit.
Ah so that's what their radio pack is used for.

Question on Nodes... You mention placing them in the first friendly sector due to them being lost if placed in a forward sector that falls, which makes complete sense. My question is, though... If you're doing one of those things where you're support with an engineer (possibly more) and building up a forward area's defenses, would it THEN make sense to just drop a manpower node near the area you're building up? Because over the course of just like 7 1/2 minutes, you'll already be ahead in the supplies department.

Can you explain what "NODES" are? I never got how those work exactly
Resource nodes are just objects that Engineers can build that generate resources for the Commander to be able to use his or her call in abilities. Think of it like currency for the commander. A fuel node generates fuel which the Commander can use to spawn in vehicles and armor. A munitions node generates ammo for bombing runs, strafing runs, artillery, etc.
So basically if your team doesn't build nodes at the start of the game, your Commander will run out of resources pretty quickly and won't be able to support the team with their special call in abilities. Does that make sense? I cover how it works in my Engineer guide here: th-cam.com/video/6DEzh1v2w5c/w-d-xo.html
All this for a flamethrower
(it's not worth it...) But the satisfaction of helping build garrisons and nodes is worth it!
@@SoulSniperYT it’s a personal thing I know it sucks but I love using flamethrowers since world at war
Same! I want to use it so bad 😂
Heel yeah, most games I played, support could've made the game but broke it by wanting to play Rambo constantly.
So I’m torn between support and automatic and medic roles.
I want something that’s easy to play but also has some huge utility benefit or bonus for my team. Which do you recommend for a good time while not being too insanely difficult?
Well support definitely has more utility benefit for the team than auto rifleman. Auto rifleman is basically just a combat role. Support gives you supplies and/or ammo, which can help the team more. Especially supplies for building garrisons. Medic, if played right and in the right circumstances, can also be helpful to the team, but less combat effective. It's up to you, but whatever one you choose, watch my tutorial on it and play accordingly and you'll be fine.
I got HLL on console a few months ago and play with my brother. I only recently started playing Support because we were both frustrated by the lack of garrisons from uncooperative SL's or Commanders, and one thing that I have noticed over the 5 or 6 matches I played as Support is that there are almost zero Support players at all. Looking at the rest of my team I can't recall seeing a single blueberry Support symbol. I never thought to do the swap class trick to get two supply crates down though, that would be very handy for enemy territory. Do Outposts stay if the SL switches classes? I ask because usually if my brother isn't squad lead I am.
Welcome man! Good for you for playing the Support role! If an SL switches to Support, the outpost will remain, so that technique will still work for ya!
Whenever I play support i seem to run all over the map trying to place supplies but unable to
Watching your tutorial vid while I load into your dedicated server lmfaooooooo
My man!
Support is pretty much the other officer. You get recon plane on your map, too...
I love this game :)
I love it too!
Support. The other white meat.
Actually the designation for the
Grease gun is M3 instead of M1
I've failed you all. Immediate unsub. :)
After this tutorial I have a question if me as a support player help an engie building a node whit my hammer do I get rewarded that xp boost once the nodes give resorces
You should try to get some of these vids into steam pages for HLL
I add my videos to my steam profile and tag them with Hell Let Loose. When I go to my steam library and click on HLL I've seen my vids there before. Is that what you mean or is there somewhere else you're talking about?
Soulsniper - "Having been an offensive lineman myself...."
Me - "Did we just become best friends!?"
Yep!
I need help. I can’t get into a match since update on June 5th 2024. “Network error has occurred”. Literally tried everything. Even reached out to Xbox support and they said it’s a developer issue after trouble shooting. Someone please help me out. I can’t even play a single match. I can’t make it past the Home Screen each time for 3 days now.
if other classes press T on pc to view the icons do they see all supplies in the area or just ones dropped by their support?
It's any supplies, not just your own squads. I think they may have reduced the distance it displays from 50m to 30m, at least that's what I recently heard.
Support is my favorite regardless cause of the grease gun
The grease gun is fun to use lol
I honestly hate the grease gun. Low damage, low fire rate, horrible iron sight. I'd take basically anything else instead
How do you request supplies? I'm on ps5 and I found the wheel but when let go or press x nothing happens and I have no idea if the commander got my request or not? I'm confused and I see why nobody plays support. I spawned as a support just to get the 50 supplies only to find out that I need 75 to build a standard bunker let alone a lvl 3? Its super frustrating but I am new
All that does is place a marker on your map. It's still a good idea to actually tell the commander you placed a mark and are asking for supplies (and I would explain what you're going to use them for too). Not on console so I can't say for sure whether your mark is being placed correctly.
Awesome metaphor coming from a football player that support = OL. Foundation of the offense. I played CB, which class would that be for you?
Hmmm. I suppose CB would be like the squad that hangs back on defense to make sure the teams garrisons aren't destroyed.
We are the reason you get off that beach
That's a fantastic point! We appreciate you!
And if your commander doesn't talk, and your team is over there, and over there, oh and way tf over there.... 😂
So is the node Tricks still work in the home line area?
What exactly are you referring to?
Make bestfriends with the AT guy so yall can use the AT guns to bombard positions when you don't got tanks or artillery
I think is M3 Grase Gun !
As an AT player, I love each and every support player. You make my job easier and I could just kiss you.❤
6:56 my guy just rambo the hell out the enemies
Haha I know. Just slingin from the hip
Am I the only one that likes the new “Allies” Rifle No. 4?
I don't get what's so hard for people to switch to support for one life and drop supplies, and then go back to any other class. It's like two steps is more than the average person has brain cells; it would be either that or breathing for them and natural selection takes care of the rest.
i dont care what people say support are the backbone of this game we love u support ... now gimmie my 2x rockets im out and i missed 1
They should do hell let loose terminator
00:08 Ohhhh no... SS
No chance to know where to drop the suply box.
Times that's game is placed and Yours chanel SS shortcut is.. I don't know, it's fried as.. nvm😅
Noice,
FLAMMENWERFER
Grease gun it's just the best headshot machine in the game.
Haha yea it has a way of climbing right up the chest to the head, doesn't it?
@@SoulSniperYT indeed, it was that magical way to deliver the dink melody when you most need it. its also surprisingly accurate at medium range though
"Dink melody" lol
I just want the flamethrower
I'm not mad at it lol
I have 100 hours in PURE support dear lord help me LOL I SOO badly want to play machine gunner but nobody picks support so looks like it's up to me
Good on you for being the responsible adult dude, but you know what? If you wanna go Brrrrrrrrt, than damn it you should go Brrrrrrrrt!
lol this is me as squad leader. I dont want to, but no one else does either
This game seriously needs some FPS optimization damn it.
Sub and liked to a million from one tackle to another
My man!
