The bright outlines around enemies and neon streaks left behind while running make subtlety impossible, so raw firepower plus healing seemed to be the ultimate decider in most of my fights. Extra mobility can be useful, but it felt so much safer to bring the healing field or armor buff that makes me bulletproof for a few seconds. Messing with each of the nine hacks in the build we played, I found myself ditching fun options like the short-range teleport for defensive hacks. Hacks have unlimited use on a cooldown, so it does feel a lot like Apex in practice, except you're scavenging the build you want over time instead of locking into a set role. You can hold two hacks at a time and swap them out whenever you want. Abilities (Ubisoft calls them 'hacks') have to be looted from the world just like weapons. The biggest divergence is that Hyper Scape isn’t a hero game. I thought about Apex Legends a lot during my play sessions, because it’s clearly the flavor of battle royale that Hyper Scape is going for-a bright, frantic shooter with three-person squads, tiered loot, and abilities that can make or break a teamfight. The bright outlines around enemies and neon streaks left behind while running make subtlety impossible.
