Finding players: The best way to organize a full lobby of coop or deathmatch beyond your immediate friends is to join the official game's discord https://discord.gg/hyperchargeunboxed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlocking First Turret:
To unlock your first turret, get atleast a gold medal on Airhockey shuffle on casual/regular!

>>>(Shotguns and glue are also very good against spinners!)<<<

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Movement: Toggle sprint is your friend! Take advantage of the 5 minute timer between waves on casual difficulty (which you still earn unlocks!) or play free roam to explore and get a feel for the game's movement and map layouts. Generally speaking, jump pads are worth building. You also have lots of air control and can climb onto many things!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batteries: Batteries are the backbone to you success, and friendly bots are slow to replace them. You can unlock battery chargers by getting a platinum medal on a map (all cores survive with full HP).

Batteries recharge the shields of Hypercores and power up turrets but have limited juice. Enemies (especially the explosive variants) can knock batteries out of Hypercores, so constant vigilance!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickups: the weapon you spawn with is dependent on the map, and more will spawn for free in-between waves or for credits in Hypercharge boxes. Other items will spawn between waves such as health pickups (green), weapon parts (teal), batteries (blue), new weapons (red), credits and packs of credits (yellow), and secret collectables (purple)
----------------------------------------------------
Medals: Medals are awarded when finishing a coop game and are grades based on how well you did. Earning medals will unlock buildables, cosmetics and levels. Casual and regular difficulty share rewards while expert and nightmare have their own set of rewards.

Platinum & Diamond = All Hypercores survive with full HP (small shield present on Hypercore's icon). Getting a platinum medal unlocks the battery charger for the map.

Gold & Ruby = all Hypercores Survive. Getting a gold medal on a level unlocks the prize machine.

Silver & Emerald = only one Hypercore has fallen

Bronze & Sapphire = two Hypercores have fallen

You can play singleplayer coop with bots by going to waves > edit rules > max bots (also works with deathmatch!)

-bots in coop are great for shooting but not for building; scrapping their buildings refunds you the money instead of the builder, play around this fact! (dont get into this habit for online pls)
Being smart with building placement can really help with evening the odds in battle and earn you those platinum and diamond medals! You can 100% the game with bots if you play it right!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Here's proof you can get all diamond medals offline with bots:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-bots will give you credits if you ask in the voice commands, they are slow but will do it! Once you select the voice option, a bot will ping themselves and you have a few seconds to get next to them so they can (slowly) give you the credits. Sometimes you may need to ask more than once
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Bots can be very chatty at times.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-the bots have a gambling addiction...
It might be worth hiding the prize machine when playing with the bots...

+++++
Higher DPS: While reloading, you can melee, switch weapons and even shoot without interrupting the reload! (Hotswapping) Use this to maximize your DPS:
reloading my machinegun as I fire my rifle at a meanbot. You can see both the reload circle and the hitmarkers in this screenshot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Higher Climbing: You can look at an angle and slightly upwards at a surface and extend how high you can climb. Sometimes this is all you need to get up onto a surface or save a jump!

This box is too tall for me to climb



However, changing how I look at it makes it possible:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skip intro movies: If you want to jump immediately into the action, right click 'Hypercharge: Unboxed' in your steam library, and under general type this:






Your game will now launch straight into the main menu!
