Overview

Hypershot is a first-person multiplayer shooter. You'll be put into one of two teams to accomplish a particular objective under a time limit. It can be simply killing opponents, or extend to capturing flags, dominating hills, etc.

The gameplay loop is similar to hero shooters like Overwatch. You have unlimited lives; thus, your major focus will be on completing objectives instead of survival. Hypershot also has unique abilities that help you in different ways, adding unique gameplay elements.

Gameplay mechanics

• Daily Rewards: Players can log in daily to acquire different rewards for the day, like coins or diamonds.
• Abilities: Abilities affect different stats in the game. At the start, you only get one free default ability for each slot. You can unlock more abilities by spending diamonds. During each week, two random abilities are available for use free of cost, but only for that given period. Understanding your abilities is extremely important to master positioning. Make frequent use of them. For example, you can combo sliding with the upward shift ability to capture a flag and get away in one smooth motion.
• Loadouts: Loadouts are a customized group of weapons and abilities that players can select to take into the match. It removes the hassle of changing weapons repeatedly to try different playstyles. Hypershot gives you a total of four loadouts, each of which can be customized.
• Buying new weapons: You can unlock new weapons by spending coins. It is always worth saving up for weapons rather than using money for skins.
• Acquiring Coins: Coins can be acquired through Daily Rewards, completing objectives, Playtime Rewards, getting Kills, leveling up, and microtransactions.
• Cases: Cases can be opened to acquire unique skins for your weapons. The rarer the skin, the lower its drop chance. There are six tiers of Cases: Wooden, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Mythical. The better the case, the higher the chances of acquiring rarer skins.
• Playtime Rewards: Playtime rewards are used to boost player retention. The longer you stay in the game (it includes menus), the more rewards you can claim. Click on the gift box option at the top of the screen to obtain your prizes.
• Game Modes: The normal game modes include Capture the Flag, Team Death Match, Free For All, etc. One mode is randomly decided, and you can spawn in by simply pressing the space bar. There are other modes like 1v1, 2v2, or Gun Game, but you need to specifically select them in the Game modes option.
• Adjusting Crosshairs: You can edit your crosshairs by heading to the Edit Crosshair tab in Setting. You can also import images to serve as custom ones.
