Plan your next Hellpoint session
Our guide delves deeper into Hellpoint’s core systems, offering observations and comparative advice to help players refine their approach without relying on hidden mechanics or paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mapping the Colony
Create a hand‑drawn or digital map of discovered zones, noting dynamic event hotspots. Comparing routes reveals which paths expose you to fewer horde assaults, aiding efficient exploration.
- Track the black‑hole timer to anticipate dynamic events.
- Use the map to mark hidden passages for later revisits.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Specialization
Track combat usage for each weapon type over several sessions. Observing the rate at which abilities unlock helps decide whether to specialize early or diversify later.
- Focus on a single weapon type early to unlock its special ability faster.
- Mix armor sets to balance defense against the varied enemy types.
03 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Loot Distribution
Experiment with shared loot splits in co‑op runs. Comparing outcomes when both players focus on similar builds versus complementary roles can highlight optimal sharing strategies.
- Invite a friend early to share loot and avoid resource scarcity.
- Use the shared experience feature to keep both players on equal footing.
04 / THE GUIDE
Dynamic Event Timing
Record the black‑hole cycle durations during multiple playthroughs. Analyzing timing patterns lets you anticipate boss spawns and plan resource usage accordingly.
- Observe enemy stat changes to adjust combat tactics.
- Prepare escape routes before horde assaults begin.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Play identical sections using a gamepad and keyboard/mouse. Note differences in reaction speed and comfort, then decide which setup best matches your preferred combat style.
- Enable Remote Play Together to invite friends without a second copy.
- Use a DualShock controller for the recommended gamepad experience.
