How to Play

The basics every player needs — shoot Targets for points, point your Tool down to reload, beat the Target score before the 30-second clock runs out, and don't run out of hearts.

Scoring, Combos & High Scores

The exact scoring pipeline — 10 base points, then Red ADD Mods, then Blue MULTIPLY, then your live Combo. Combos, Overkill, Heat, the scorecard, and leaderboards, with a concrete high-score strategy.

The Monolith

How a run is built — climb the tower one 30-second Wave at a time, read the node icons (Elite, Hack, Augment, Super Socket, Curse, Boss), branch your path, and beat 15 Waves to defeat the Monolith.

Tools

Your Tools — Pistol (precision + Combo), SMG (the only true auto-fire Tool + Heat), and Shotgun (pellet spread + Overkill). Each Tool sets your starting mechanic and which leaderboard you compete on.

Mods & Builds

The build-crafting centerpiece — buy Mods with Coins, stack ADDs *and* MULTIPLYs, raise Mod levels by re-buying, and build around an engine. A full catalog of all 139 shop Mods (plus 12 built-in) with icons and descriptions.

Augments

The 7 playstyle-defining Augments — Detonator (Exploding), Arc Module (Lightning), Combo, Arctic Pod (Freeze), Critical Scope, Overkill, and Heat — each unlocking a whole category of synergy Mods.

Hacks

The long-lasting, run-wide modifiers you earn at Hack nodes — all 28 Hacks plus 8 build-warping Elite Hacks (and the special Monolith Shard). No Mod slot, no upkeep, pure upside layered on your build.

Sockets

The cap-breaker — Super Socket nodes add levels to the Mod in your Socket position, pushing it past the level-5 Shop cap. The Super / Mega / Ultra / Hone Socket rewards and how to stack one carry Mod.

Curses

Optional downsides you accept at Curse nodes for extra Coins. All 12 Curses cataloged with worth-it verdicts, grouped into free money, depends-on-your-build, and only-if-desperate.

Targets

Every Target you'll shoot — a master table of the standard Targets plus the fleeing Glitches that drop Coins, score, time, Tokens, and the rare extra-life Heart. Read the movement, handle each one.

Zones

A tour of the neon Zones — themed arenas that cross-fade as you climb the Monolith. Same rules everywhere, different scenery as a cue you've hit a new stretch of the tower.

Game Modes & Difficulty

Pick your Tool and difficulty (Easy, Normal, Hard, or Insane), then beat the Monolith — push past it in Endless Mode with its own leaderboard, or twist the rules with the named Trials.

Round Rewards

The post-Wave "Choose a reward" screen — three options (Common, Rare, or Epic) of extra time, Combo Saves, Shop discounts, mod guarantees, Socket levels, and Refresh Tokens. The steady drip of power between node picks.

Editions & Cosmetics

Make your Tool yours — browse the Editions and Styles you can equip, and the player cosmetics that let you show off your high-score chops.

Tips & Strategy

Practical advice to climb higher — reload early, stack ADDs *and* multipliers, ride a maxed Combo, prioritize the right Glitches, and clear formation Targets with explosions, lightning, and pierce.

Streaming & Capture

Show off your runs — built-in LIV mixed-reality capture, Streamer Mode, and read-only Twitch chat integration for streamers.

Welcome ​

Welcome to the Hyper Bullet wiki — an unofficial fan wiki for the free Meta Quest game by Protostar. Hyper Bullet is a fast-paced, roguelike target shooter that blends flow-state gunplay with the satisfying tactics of crafting a perfectly destructive build. Every Wave is 30 seconds of pure, focused intensity followed by meaningful choices that shape your entire climb — small decisions snowball into massive score explosions.

This wiki is written for players: how to play, what every Target, Tool, Mod, Augment, and Curse does, and how to chase the ultimate score-attack run. It documents build 1.0.1 (build 13063) — the game's 1.0 full release — and is not affiliated with Protostar.

Quick tips ​

  • Every Target is worth 10 base points. Score resolves in a fixed order: base + Red ADD Mods, then × Blue MULTIPLY, then × your live Combo.
  • Stack ADDs and multipliers. Every point you add gets multiplied, so a fat ADD base makes each multiplier and Combo point worth far more. It's automatic — you don't need to arrange reds before blues; placement only matters for the neighbour/empty-slot Mods.
  • A miss resets your Combo, wiping the multiplier on every Target after it — the most expensive mistake in the game. Combo Saves absorb one break.
  • Point your Tool down to reload — there's no button. Reload early and often so you never waste seconds of the 30-second clock.
  • Buy the same Mod again to raise its level. A focused 3-4 high-level build beats 10 scattered level-1 Mods.
  • Push your Mods past the level-5 cap with Super Sockets (level a single slot) and the buff Hacks (level a whole category) — the long-lasting, run-wide picks you earn on the Monolith instead of buying.
  • Shoot Glitches on sight for Coins, score, time, Tokens, and the rare extra-life Heart — but NEVER the Bomb Glitch, which penalizes you.
  • Critical Scope gives Targets a 20% chance to double their total score, making it the safest pick that scales with any build.
  • Take Curses early so the bonus Coins snowball into a stronger build — but skip Cupid and Ka-Boom! late in a run.
  • Leaderboards are split per Tool and per difficulty (Global + Friends), with a separate Endless board — to climb a specific board you have to run that specific Tool.
