"As an Assault you'll be leading the charge on the frontline. Strongpoints, trenches, buildings and hedgerows, all are fair game for you."

— Assault Role Guide

The Assault is one of the fourteen playable roles featured in Hell Let Loose.

Gameplay Tips

Room service – When storming a building/trench, make use of your grenades! Whether you’re looking to clear a room or force a group of enemies into your firing line, using a grenade will be much safer than charging into said area outnumbered.

Lock ‘n reload – Both the American and German weapons have a respectable rate of fire and will quickly dispense the available ammo in their magazine. Make sure to reload after engagements to keep your battle readiness. Charging into your next fight to discover that you need to reload is a sure-fire way to be sent to the respawn screen.

Look back – As the vanguard of your unit, the chances are you’ll be in front of your allies. When combat begins, you’ll be even further ahead, diving into enemy lines. Just remember not to stray too far from your unit. Being isolated is not only a detriment to yourself, but your unit.

It’s all in the hip – At close range both the Thompson and Gewehr 43 are competent hip fire weapons. If you encounter enemies in an uneven environment, or are caught off-guard, don’t be afraid to just shoot! The previous seconds you save from not aiming down sight can be the difference between winning and losing.

Trivia

• The Assault role currently has the access to the largest amount of loadouts (4), making it a very flexible offensive role and thus a very popular role in matches.
• The Grenadier loadout has the most HE-grenades of any class (6). They can be used to effectively clear houses, bunkers, trenches and hedges!
