Hypershot Golden One guide

The Golden One is a newly added game mode in Hypershot. It is not part of the randomized playlist, which means you must manually select it from the “More Gamemodes” section before queuing for a match. It introduces unique gameplay mechanics that can be confusing initially, especially when it comes to understanding how it works and what the rules are.

This article explores the Golden One game mode and provides all essential details about it in Hypershot.

Hypershot mode guide: Golden One

The Golden One game mode introduces an innovative mechanic that makes matches both interesting and engaging. The objective is simple: become the "Golden One" and stay in that role for the longest total time to win the match.

At the start of each match, one player is randomly chosen as the Golden One. They immediately become everyone else's target, turning the match into a one-versus-all scenario. Whoever manages to eliminate the Golden One will take their place. When the timer ends, the player who has accumulated the most time as the Golden One is declared the winner.

Becoming the Golden One comes with certain conditions. The base health is 200, which increases depending on the number of players in the lobby:

With 2 players, HP increases to 300
With 3 players, HP increases to 350
With 4 players, HP increases to 400
With 5 players, HP increases to 450
With 6 or more players, HP increases to 600

As the Golden One, you cannot use abilities, but you can still slide. Each match lasts five minutes – your total time as the Golden One is what matters. For instance, if you hold the role for five seconds, then later for three seconds, and again for five seconds, your cumulative time of 13 seconds will be counted.

Both regular players and the Golden One have auto-regeneration, with health recovering after a short delay. Additionally, when playing as the Golden One, eliminating enemies causes them to drop small health cores and ammunition. One can also pick up weapons from eliminated players.

Furthermore, the Golden One is marked with a red outline that is visible to all players, even through walls and objects. This means hiding is not an option, as everyone can see their location anywhere on the map. However, as the Golden One, you do not gain the same advantage and cannot see enemy outlines through walls or objects.
