CHOOSE YOUR CURRENT STATE

Treat this as a tutorial-completion check

Current first-party guidance names the Commander tutorial requirement; it does not establish an XP or level gate here.

ROLE LOCKED

Complete the Commander tutorial

Finish the required tutorial and return to role selection after completion is recorded.

STILL LOCKED

Confirm completion state

Reopen the tutorial list, capture the displayed status and restart once before reporting a bug.

ROLE UNAVAILABLE

Separate lock from occupancy

A completed tutorial does not guarantee the seat is free on the current team.

PROCEDURE

Follow these steps

01

Finish basic onboarding so you can access role tutorials.

02

Open and complete the Commander tutorial required before selection (hub: leadership tutorials are mandatory).

03

Learn map reading and short command calls in infantry/SL seats first—hub advises against Commander on a true first match.

04

Select Commander only when the tutorial gate is cleared in your build.

05

If the role stays locked, verify tutorial completion status in-game rather than grinding invented XP.

06

Level/XP thresholds: not stated on cited hub pages—Pending unless official UI shows them (do not fabricate).

COMMON PITFALLS

Avoid these mistakes

  • Publishing fake level/XP unlock numbers.
  • Taking Commander before understanding spawn networks and communication.
  • Skipping the tutorial and reporting a "bug."
  • Confusing Deluxe cosmetics with role unlocks.

Unlock Commander questions

How do you unlock Commander in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam?

What level do you need for Commander?

Not stated here. Do not invent XP/level gates—verify any UI requirement in the current build.

Should new players pick Commander first?

No. Hub role selection: learn map and communication first; leadership tutorials make these deliberate seats.

Is Commander faction-specific?

Commander appears in the shared leadership path on the hub; confirm availability in your current match/faction UI.
