When SS adds a piece of wisdom to the community, tis a good day.
💚
And when RARE comments on my latest video, tis a good day for SS!
@@SoulSniperYT hey man.
Credit where it's due.
Always good stuff.

SS is "Schutzstaffel" and was a grup in the 3. Reich
actually SS means SelfService@@roobertWallenstein
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
@@captaincampalot me too
@@captaincampalotlebe 6.5 so close yet so far
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. :)
You're doing God's work Monday, keep it up
Thanks! Why am I Monday? Lol
@@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!
Ahhh lol gotcha! Well I'm glad you enjoy the vids brother!
@@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.
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
That's an interesting idea 👍
The video file sizes would be insane lol. I'll give that some thought, thanks for the idea man!
It would be a lot of editing but you can clip out or fast forward through the fluff
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.
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!
Love it man! Welcome!
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.
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!
As a prostitute myself I feel a deep connection with this class, it is so fulfilling.
@@my936586 you're used to being used like the Support class!
Man this is a overall great video, it helps new players contribute much more to their team thanks for the info Soul sniper your the best!!!
Thanks for the support, Juan! Glad you find this stuff helpful, that's why I do it!
O line reference is spot on
When you know, you know.
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.
Great video as always! Just started to play more support, so this guide is a perfect! Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see more!
Thanks man! Glad to hear there will be one more reliable Support player out there! 🤘
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.
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.
Good video! Been playing just over a week so their is plenty to learn in HLL. Good breakdown of the support role 👍
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.
@@SoulSniperYT Sweet, I'll definitely give those a watch 😎. Keep up the good content
Appreciate the video!
Man, you have the best HLL guides for new players. They've helped me tremendously to break out from rifleman lol.
Kind words man, I appreciate it! Happy to hear it!
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!
Great work here. Keep it up!
Thanks bro!
I love playing Support. It’s so much fun playing the meta game of dropping supplies and helping build the reinforcements:)
You're a good man!
New but dedicated Support player here. Loved this video. 🤝
Very good video once more, you deserve way more subs!
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Feel free to share the video with your friends :)
i love playing support or SL!! i love building garrisons. I LOVE IT
Your videos are so helpful, many thanks from da UP.
Thank you so much, that is very generous of you! I'm happy to hear the content is helpful!
Another excellent guide! Good job!
Thanks man! Appreciate the Support!
Pun intended ;)
Thanks for the great video, I love playing support and now I'm equipped to do it better
Glad to hear it! Can always use more support players!
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
Thank you, glad to hear that! Great point about the recon planes!
Great tip on visibility 50 meters did not know that
I’m learning more from this channel than the HLL wiki. Soul is the true HLL wiki
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
Just fired up the game and I get the jitters when trying to aim. Support and Engineer seem like a great fit
Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
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
@@SoulSniperYT Ps5 unfortunately. But I’ll be dropping back in for more tips.
Sounds good! Also we do have some console folks in the discord if you're looking for people to squad up with.
@@SoulSniperYT well with that being said I’ll join up! Appreciate the help. Keep an eye out for N_Shipe95
Just joined. I new to Discord as well.
Great video! I've been leveling Engineer lately but I'm going to try Support after watching this.
Nice! Support doesn't get enough love, but is very appreciated by those who know how the game works!
@@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!
There are little 'gotchas' like that in the game that take a bit of time to learn.
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 🤙🏼
Thank you, man, I appreciate the compliment and the support. Stay tuned for more soon...
Love the offensive lineman metaphor. Was an offensive lineman in highschool myself, and the roles are very much alike.
Couldn't help but draw that comparison!
I love playing support role, I also love nagging squad leads to build garisons with my supplies.
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.
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.
Good guide.
Thank you sir!
7:19 digging the O-lineman love here. lfg
Only O-Lineman recognize the efforts of O-Lineman haha
@@SoulSniperYTnot true I played DE and I know wassup 🫡💪🏻
thank you
Thanks for watching!
Just got my lvl 3 support today, i love that role! I'm going to try squad lead and engineer next!
Nice! Definitely watch my Engineer and SL videos if you haven't already!
@@SoulSniperYT already did and subbed 😁
Good man!
Are you on PC or console? Either way come hang on discord! discord.gg/wUgVGWXtPe
@@SoulSniperYT yeah sure i'll drop by when i can!
I haven't played hell let loose yet but always play support/medic in battlefield because I'm usually too drunk to shoot straight hahaha
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!
Everyone appreciates the support guy, they just don't get the glory!
Had to check out This Old Tony and I kinda see what you mean lol. Never heard of that channel before though, so just coincidence I guess!
I started running with a squad we always have a medic, mg or automatic rifleman, support, rifleman, and anti-tank
I've been grinding Support to help out my AT friend and now I'm almost to level 10. My reward will be that flamethrower.
Guess what? You've already got it in the bag cuz they devs changed it to level 8 support! 🔥
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!!
I randomly found this video while in your server, classic.
Nice! I've got a vid like this for every role plus a bunch of other general guides about the game.
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.
Actually the designation for the
Grease gun is M3 instead of M1
I've failed you all. Immediate unsub. :)
The 5 minutes for ammo/exp boxes feels so punishing, the supplies cool down is fine
Yea I agree ..seems kinda silly. It's not like you could really spam ammo..?
it's crazy how often i end up playing support in games because nobody else will
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 😂
Watching your tutorial vid while I load into your dedicated server lmfaooooooo
My man!
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 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!
You didn’t mention the supply trucks. How are those used?
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.
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?
literally no idea why im watching.
Never heard of this game, video has less than a thousand views, but you seem cool so ima comment 😎
Haha well thanks dude! Maybe you should start playing! 👍👍
We are the reason you get off that beach
That's a fantastic point! We appreciate you!
Whenever I play support i seem to run all over the map trying to place supplies but unable to
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.
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.
So is the node Tricks still work in the home line area?
What exactly are you referring to?
Soulsniper - "Having been an offensive lineman myself...."
Me - "Did we just become best friends!?"
Yep!
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
Make bestfriends with the AT guy so yall can use the AT guns to bombard positions when you don't got tanks or artillery
Noice,
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
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.
As an AT player, I love each and every support player. You make my job easier and I could just kiss you.❤
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.
00:08 Ohhhh no... SS
No chance to know where to drop the suply box.
This game seriously needs some FPS optimization damn it.
Times that's game is placed and Yours chanel SS shortcut is.. I don't know, it's fried as.. nvm😅
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
FLAMMENWERFER
1:02 theres no such thing as an "m1" grease gun
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
6:56 my guy just rambo the hell out the enemies
Haha I know. Just slingin from the hip
semi transparent. the word youre looking for is opaque.
Lmao there it is! Will use that from now on 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
Bro I drop supplies then everyone asked for them for the next five minutes while calling me a fuckhead for not dropping them even as I’m telling them I DONT HAVE ANY
This role could be so much more satisfying if engineers and squad leaders used them to their potential. I often feel like a desperate child looking for a friend when I’m running around asking people to go build a garrison or build defenses together… That’s game pass I guess
So as a logo is questionable…
What?
@@SoulSniperYT ss
@@brandonrickett6798 is that what you're seeing for the support guide video? I changed it a long time ago for that reason.
people really get support wrong and maybe this game in general, if youre good it doesnt matter what role you pick. most kills ive ever got in a match (no arty no tanks) was with support (110).
lmfao
"the at player knows who the real mvp is"
yeah, himself
