changed🎭 Hider: When the match begins, you get a prep window to explore the map and pick one of three items to disguise yourself. Once transformed, you look just like an ordinary object in the scene, making you tough for Hunters to spot! You can't attack while hidden, so rely on moving, repositioning, and planting decoys to stay out of the Hunters' hands.
changed🔍 Hunter: You have 2 minutes and 20 seconds to track down and catch every Hider! Hunters have a scanning ability; land a hit on a Hider to trigger the catch. But be careful: swing at the wrong target and the backlash costs you HP, so look closely before you strike!
changedHiders win: at least 2 Hiders are still alive when the timer runs out, or all Hunters' HP is depleted.
