Less than a year after its initial announcement, Team17 has confirmed Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is coming out June 18. However, fans who wish to experience the apocalypse now can sign up for the open beta that’s set to take place between May 29 and June 1.
This was confirmed today by Team17, alongside a flashy new trailer, which shows players taking control of soldiers from both sides of the Vietnam War and duking it out in dense jungles and on the banks of sprawling rivers. From what we can see, it retains a lot of the first game’s DNA while transferring the setting from the fronts of World War 2 into the treacherous terrain of Indochina.
The game had a closed beta test a couple of weeks ago, and though fan reactions were somewhat mixed, most praised the atmosphere and the tense gameplay while saying there are many bugs and quirks that could be worked out, namely when it comes to audio and visual clarity.
But if you wanted to see what the game has to offer and be the judge of its quality ahead of release, there’s an open beta hosted later this month, May 29 to be exact. You can sign up for it using this link, though I’m fairly certain everyone will be able to hop in and play no matter if you took the precaution to get enlisted.
Hell Let Loose has long been known as one of the best first-person shooters, especially among fans of mil-sim and more realistic titles. While not emphasizing realism as much as, say, Arma or Squad, Hell Let Loose maintains an incredible degree of immersion and utilizes mechanics like a very short time-to-kill (one shot is all it takes), a minimalist HUD, and grounded movement.
The follow-up promises more of the same but in a different, more modern setting, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

There are two types of survival game players in the world: those who enjoy the thrill of survival in harsh environments and taking on enemies, and those who relax while building massive bases. Subnautica 2 is no exception, especially with its base-building mechanics changing from the first game.

How to build a base in Subnautica 2
Before you can begin making your first base in Subnautica 2, you’ll need to unlock and craft a Habitat Builder tool. Using this tool, you can access a build menu containing corridors, doors, production machines such as a Fabricator, and miscellaneous decorative items.
Subnautica 2 also offers a small tutorial in the form of a NOA entry within a nearby structure. By traveling 80 meters southeast of the Lifepod, you’ll find a Welcome Center building that’s run out of power. Inserting a basic battery into the Welcome Center’s wall panel will power its Bio Lab and NOA, who’ll give you a rundown of how base building works.
How to unlock the Habitat Builder tool
Unlocking and crafting the Habitat Builder tools requires making a Survival Multitool and Scanner. You can craft the multitool using three titanium, while the scanner uses the following resources:
- Titanium (2)
- Quartz (2)
- Basic Battery (1)
Titanium is the easiest of the required resources to find, as it’s an abundant material you’ll find around your Lifepod. Glass requires two quartz, which you’ll also quickly acquire early on. Basic batteries are slightly trickier, as you’ll need to collect copper from nearby caves.
Your next step after making these tools is to search for two old Habitat Builder tools that you can scan. Here’s a breakdown of two possible locations:
- Head back to the Welcome Center. Next to the “Welcome Center” sign outside of its entrance is a metal box containing a Habitat Builder tool.
- Go inside the building. Dive into the hole in the center of the building’s floor to find the second Habitat Builder tool inside a metal storage container next to the Oxygen Tunic.
Once you have both blueprint components, you’ll unlock the Habitat Builder tool in your Fabricator. You can craft it using the following resources:
- Titanium (2)
- Glass (1)
- Basic Battery (1)
- Copper Wire (1)
Titanium is the easiest of the required resources to find, as it’s an abundant material you’ll find around your Lifepod. Glass requires two quartz, which you’ll also quickly acquire early on. Basic batteries and copper wires are trickier, as you’ll need to collect copper from nearby caves and use your Multitool to break Acid Raion for their pouches.
All base building and furniture blueprints in Subnautica 2
Once you build the Habitat Builder tool, you can access your build menu by holding the tool in your hotbar and pressing the Open Menu key (right-click on PC.) As you collect more resources and scan furniture you encounter around the map.
