Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Tunnel Tutorial: Connect to a Garrison

What the tunnel mechanic is meant to do, and what to check when the tutorial refuses to advance.

QUICK ANSWER

Do the tunnel connection from the map, not by walking to the tunnel entrance: on PC the default map key is M, but other platforms should use the current map binding; select the pre-built tunnel at E5, then select the built garrison to connect them. The official launch notes still list tutorial bugs under investigation. Hotfix 1 fixed a server crash involving NVA tunnels, not the tutorial trigger.

EXECUTE THE TASK5 STEPS

Action sequence

  1. STEP 01

    Read the current tutorial objective, then open the map. On PC the default map key is M; on another platform use the map binding shown in your current controls.

  2. STEP 02

    On the map, select the pre-built tunnel at grid E5. This is a map action, not a trip to the physical tunnel entrance.

  3. STEP 03

    With the map still open, select the built garrison you need to connect. The player-confirmed sequence is E5 tunnel → built garrison.

  4. STEP 04

    Wait for the tutorial state to update. If it does not, check that the garrison is still built and that the objective text has not changed.

  5. STEP 05

    If it still stalls, record the objective text and build version before reporting it. Replaying the tutorial may work for some players, but it is not a guaranteed repair.

Player notes from the field

These are player observations for handling match-to-match differences. They are not official rules and do not replace the direct answer above.

The E5 tunnel connection is a map click sequence

A Steam discussion gives the concrete current flow: open the map, select the pre-built tunnel at grid E5, then select the built garrison. Another reply confirms that the action happens inside the map rather than at the physical entrance.

Confidence boundary: Multiple replies in one current thread agree; platform map bindings may differ.

Replaying is a workaround, not a fix

The same discussion includes players who remain stuck and one player who says replaying eventually worked. Keep that as a fallback report only: the official launch status still lists tutorial bugs under investigation, and Hotfix 1 fixed a tunnel-related server crash rather than this trigger.

Confidence boundary: Mixed player outcomes; no guarantee that replaying repairs the current build.

RECOVERYWHEN THE TASK DOESN’T WORK

If it doesn’t work

  • The exact tutorial trigger order and current tutorial text need checking in the installed build.
  • A tutorial failure can be caused by a patch issue rather than a missed gameplay step.
  • The current player-confirmed connection is completed inside the map: pre-built E5 tunnel, then built garrison. The tunnel concept is official, but tutorial bugs remain under investigation; Hotfix 1's tunnel-related fix was a server-crash fix.
