While PvP is not the primary game mode in Hypercharge, we intend to enhance the core experience of all player vs player modes - and we believe this update is the first step towards doing just that. Major Update 9 may not seem as hefty as previous updates, but there are many significant gameplay changes. As always, we are doing our best to listen to player feedback and improve the game.
