To get RPG ammo resupplied in Hell Let Loose’s Vietnam warfare mode, you must stand near a friendly Support player who has dropped a Supply Box, or near a friendly Garrison or Outpost that has a built-in ammo resupply radius. Walk up to the resupply source and wait for the ammo count to refill; there is no button to press, the resupply happens automatically when you are in range. This guide explains the exact mechanics, how to make the most of them, and what to do when you are out of ammo and no resupply is available.
How Ammo Resupply Works in Hell Let Loose
Hell Let Loose uses a proximity-based resupply system for all classes that carry limited ammunition, including the RPG-wielding classes in the Vietnam faction. When you are within roughly 10 meters of a friendly Support player’s Supply Box, a Garrison, or an Outpost, your ammunition slowly refills over a few seconds. The game does not give you a visible progress bar; instead, you will see your ammo counter tick upward in the bottom-right of your screen. The same mechanic applies to grenades, rockets, and even the flamethrower fuel tank, so it is a universal rule rather than a special one for explosive weapons.
For the RPG specifically, the resupply restores one rocket at a time, not the entire loadout. If you have fired two rockets and have two left, you will need to remain in the resupply zone until both are replenished. The process is not instant; it takes roughly 3-5 seconds per rocket, so you cannot spam fire and instantly reload. This means positioning is everything: you need to be close to the source and have a few seconds of safety to fully restock.
Which Classes Carry the RPG and How Many Rockets They Get
The Vietnam faction’s RPG is carried by the Anti-Tank class, which is available in two variants: the standard Anti-Tank and the Anti-Tank (Heavy). The standard class spawns with two rockets, while the Heavy variant also carries two but has a longer reload time and a more powerful warhead. Both variants use the same resupply rules, so the guide applies equally. The RPG-7 in Hell Let Loose Vietnam is a single-shot, breech-loaded launcher; you must reload after every shot, and the reload animation takes about 4-5 seconds. This means you cannot fire two rockets quickly, even if you have them in reserve, which makes ammo management even more critical.
In addition to the rockets, the Anti-Tank class also carries a secondary weapon (usually a carbine or pistol), grenades, and a melee weapon. The resupply mechanic will refill all of these, not just the RPG, so if you are low on grenades, standing near a Supply Box will also restore those. However, the rocket is the slowest to refill, so do not expect to restock everything in one quick stop.
How to Request and Use a Supply Box
The most reliable way to get RPG ammo is to ask a Support player to drop a Supply Box near your position. In Hell Let Loose, the Support class carries a Supply Box that contains 50 supplies, and it can be dropped on the ground. The box is visible as a wooden crate with a green glow when friendly. To request one, use the in-game voice chat or text chat and say something like “Support, drop supplies at the tree line, I need rockets.” If no Support player is nearby, you can also check the map for existing Supply Boxes; they remain on the ground for a limited time (around 5 minutes) and can be used by any friendly player.
When you are near a Supply Box, you do not need to interact with it; simply stand within the radius and wait. The radius is about 10 meters, which is roughly the size of a small room. You will see a small icon appear on your screen indicating you are in the resupply zone. If you are moving, the resupply will pause, so you must stand still or move very slowly. This is a common mistake: players run up to the box, grab one rocket, and run away, then wonder why they are still short. The correct approach is to stand still for the full duration until your ammo counter shows full.
Garrisons and Outposts as Resupply Points
Garrisons and Outposts also provide ammo resupply, but with a catch: they only resupply you if you are within their radius, and they have a cooldown per player. Each time you resupply from a Garrison or Outpost, you must wait about 30 seconds before you can use it again. This is to prevent players from camping on a spawn point and infinitely firing rockets. Supply Boxes do not have this cooldown; you can stand on one and refill endlessly, as long as it exists. However, Supply Boxes are limited in number (each Support player can only carry one at a time), so Garrisons and Outposts are often the only option in the middle of a firefight.
In practice, the best strategy is to use a Garrison or Outpost as a fallback, but always try to have a Support player drop a Supply Box near your firing position. This is especially important for Anti-Tank players, because you are often positioned behind the front line, away from spawn points, and you need to stay in one spot to engage enemy armor. A well-placed Supply Box can turn a single Anti-Tank soldier into a one-man anti-armor emplacement.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
One of the most common mistakes is assuming that the RPG is resupplied by walking over the ammo crates that appear on the map. Those crates are just visual indicators of a Supply Box; they are not separate items. Another mistake is thinking that the Support player’s presence alone resupplies you; the Support player must actually drop the Supply Box. Simply being near a Support player does nothing.
A frequent misconception is that the Heavy Anti-Tank class gets more rockets. It does not; both variants get two. The Heavy variant deals more damage, but you still have the same ammo count. Also, some players believe that firing a rocket and then dying resets your ammo to full when you respawn. This is false; you respawn with the same loadout you had when you died, meaning if you had one rocket left, you will spawn with one. The only way to get a full loadout is to resupply or wait for the class to be fully restocked at the deployment screen, which only happens if you switch classes and back.
Another misconception is that the resupply is instant. It is not; it takes several seconds per rocket. If you are in a hurry, you can fire one rocket, run to a Supply Box, wait for one rocket to refill, and fire again, but this is inefficient. It is better to wait for both rockets to refill before going back into combat.
Alternatives When No Resupply Is Available
If you are out of rockets and there is no Support player, Garrison, or Outpost nearby, you have a few options. The first is to switch to a different class, such as Rifleman, and then switch back to Anti-Tank. This will give you a fresh loadout with two rockets, but you will lose any progress you had on your current life, and you will respawn at your selected spawn point. This is often the fastest way to get back into the fight with a full loadout, but it costs you a deployment slot and may leave your team without an AT player for a few seconds.
The second option is to find a vehicle, such as a supply truck, that can carry ammunition. However, in Hell Let Loose, supply trucks do not resupply players; they only carry building supplies. There is no dedicated ammo truck in the base game. The third option is to simply play conservatively and use your secondary weapon until you can find a resupply. This is not ideal, but it is better than running into a fight with no rockets.
Tips for Maximizing RPG Ammo Efficiency
To get the most out of your two rockets, always aim for high-value targets: enemy tanks, armored vehicles, or groups of infantry. Do not waste rockets on a single soldier unless they are a high-value target like a machine gunner. Also, learn the rocket’s drop and travel time; the RPG-7 has a significant arc, so you need to compensate for distance. A well-placed rocket can destroy a tank in one hit if you hit the rear or side armor, but a frontal hit may only disable it. If you are unsure, aim for the tracks to immobilize the vehicle, then finish it off with a second rocket.
When you are resupplying, do it in a safe location. Standing in the open near a Supply Box makes you an easy target. Use smoke grenades to cover your resupply, or ask a teammate to provide suppressive fire. Also, communicate with your Support player; they can drop a new Supply Box when the old one expires, giving you a continuous supply. Finally, remember that the resupply radius is generous, so you can position yourself behind a wall or in a trench and still be in range, as long as you are within 10 meters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the RPG ammo resupply automatically when I stand near a garrison?
Yes, but only after a 30-second cooldown per player. You will see your ammo counter start to fill after the cooldown ends. If you are in a hurry, a Supply Box is faster because it has no cooldown.
Can I resupply RPG ammo from an enemy Supply Box?
No. Enemy Supply Boxes are not usable; they appear red and will not resupply you. Only friendly Supply Boxes, Garrisons, and Outposts work.
Why is my RPG ammo not refilling when I stand next to a Support player?
The Support player must drop their Supply Box on the ground. Simply standing near the player does nothing. Ask them to press the deploy key to place the box.
How long does it take to resupply one rocket?
It takes roughly 3-5 seconds per rocket. The exact time is not displayed, but you will see the ammo counter tick up. For two rockets, expect to wait about 10 seconds total.
Does the Heavy Anti-Tank class get more rockets than the regular Anti-Tank?
No, both variants carry two rockets. The Heavy variant has a more powerful warhead but the same ammo capacity and a longer reload time.
Can I resupply RPG ammo from a supply truck?
No. Supply trucks only carry building supplies for engineers and commanders; they do not resupply ammunition. Use a Supply Box, Garrison, or Outpost instead.
