Hell Let Loose Vietnam Update 1.5 & Patch 1.6 Dev Update VLOG | Command Post
Update 1.5 & Patch 1.6 | Dev Update VLOG | Command Post (October 2, 2026) is a developer video update, not a patch. It ships no game changes of its own. The official Steam post says: “Update 1.5 landed last week, and Patch 1.6 is coming next week.” That sentence described the post’s date. Patch 1.6 later went live on October 7, 2026; use /updates/patch-1-6/ and the Steam post Patch 1.6 | Live Now for what shipped. Hotfix 1.5.2 (September 29) is the prior hotfix. In the linked Command Post video, Rushy and Sam talk through what the team has been working on, what has changed in recent updates and what players can expect next. This summary comes from the official Steam post text and the official YouTube video title and description only; the spoken video content is not transcribed here.
