Hello everyone,

Update 15.2 is live on PC!

This update implemented the server browser for console players — a significant task for the team which helps push console versions closer to parity with PC. We believe this is a positive step towards growing the Hell Let Loose community, giving console players the flexibility to decide how they want to play.

This update implements a new RCON feature, Mortain (Dusk), Enlist screen filter and also focuses on bug fixing.

The next update will be more content heavy, and we look forward to sharing news on it soon!

[h2]Patch 15.2 Changelog[/h2]

[h3]Maps:[/h3]

Mortain (Dusk) - Available for all game modes

The team is proud to bring you the next variant for Mortain: Dusk! Set during the stunning warm, summer months of 1944 France, the dusk variant allows players to see the familiar map of Mortain in a completely different light. As we head towards night time the player will see that visibility is naturally reduced, and familiar tactics may no longer be applicable. This visually stunning theme will be rolled out to all game modes; Warfare, Offensive & Control Skirmish.

[h3]Features:[/h3]

• RCON - Custom Capture Point

With this latest update, we've added a new feature to RCON! This new addition gives server owners the power to select which capture points are active during a match. Our goal is to ease the headache for server owners and competitive players who want to organize custom matches with specific capture points. Of course, there are a few limitations to keep in mind:

• To tweak the capture points, your server must be running the map you wish to make changes on. This will trigger a map restart.
  
• Custom map configurations will be deleted once the match has completed, or when the map is changed.
  
• You're unable to adjust the number of capture points. The quantity of capture points in Warfare/Offensive modes remains constant. You can't reduce it below the required number of capture point
  

Enlist Screen Filter

We're excited to introduce a new filter function for the server browser alongside its console release. Players can now easily find servers based on specific criteria, including Map, Game Mode, Time of Day, and Weather. This enhancement streamlines the search process, allowing you to find matches that align with your preferences much faster than before. This quality-of-life feature will mean you spend less time scrolling through servers and more time enjoying the maps you love most.
