HackHub - Ultimate Hacker Simulator · public · first seen
Hackers, 2.0 is finally here. This is the biggest update Hackhub has had since launch. We rebuilt the in-game computer from scratch, made the game a lot faster, split singleplayer into three modes and turned the Online World into something that actually fights back. There is a lot in here, so grab a coffee.
2.0 is the smoothest Hackhub has ever run.
Massive performance improvements and optimizations
Sound files optimized, saving about 500 MB of game size
Faster loading screens
A snappier, more responsive interface
BearOS served us well, but it was time to move on. The in-game computer has been rebuilt from the ground up, and it now runs on operating systems. There are three to start with: RabbitOS, PearOS and Doors. More are on the way.
Multi-monitor support. Spread your desktop over extra screens and drag windows between them.
PC hardware. Open the case, swap parts on the bench and feel the difference in every hack.
Chromo, a new browser that replaces Firebear, with tabs, bookmarks, DevTools and extensions.
The menu is new too: Play, HackPass, Store, Customization and Mods all in one place, with animated 3D backgrounds. If our servers are down, you land on an offline menu and the story keeps working.
Singleplayer is now split into three modes.
Story Mode is the Hackhub story you know.
Off the Grid is the same story with no hints and no step-by-step objectives. Stuck? Skif on Kisscord will sell you the next step, if you can afford him.
Speedrun gives you a fresh save, a timer that never stops and a global leaderboard.
Reworked the dialogue system
Redid the voice calls with new recordings that replace the old voices
Redesigned Kisscord
Rebuilt the hackhub.net job board
Rebuilt HackTheCube with 15 job types and a rank system
You now have an account level and a profile that follows you across singleplayer and multiplayer. Every level gives you Coin, which you can only earn by playing.
Spend it in the new Store on badges, banners, name effects, avatar frames, cursors, wallpapers, terminal themes and operating systems, then put your look together in Customization.
We also added 25 achievements for Season 1. Some have tiers, a few are hidden, and you can show off your three favourites on your profile. They unlock on Steam too, and anything you already earned unlocks the first time you sign in.
Want company? Invite a Steam friend to your party and jump into the Online World together.
Season 1: Zero Day is live. HackPass is a reward track you fill just by playing, and this season its premium track is free for everyone. Daily, weekly and monthly challenges pay Coin and XP, and boost cards help you level faster.
Crypto mining. Mine BTC, ETH and XMR on your PC or on a separate mining rig, then cash out on a legal or a not-so-legal exchange.
Rebuilt terminal with tabs, split panes, profiles and command chaining
Remote Desktop to sign in to other computers and use them in a window
Lamazone, a shop where you buy your PC parts
Mods can now be turned on and off without restarting the game
The Online World got the biggest rework of all. Machines are live now: you can see who is on your computer, kick them out, trace them back to their home machine and hit back.
Defend yourself with IDS levels, a firewall, attack records you can replay, canary files and Home Backup.
Attack smarter with rootkits, backdoors, file locks and a few ways to leave your mark on someone's desktop.
Fair PvP. Only players with heat, an open police case or recent PvP can be hacked, and new players are protected for their first 5 hours.
The police now build cases against you. Pay the fine, or break into their records and wipe your file before they notice.
Crews of up to 8 players share a bank, a chat and the fight over three data centers.
Tier 4 heists against Westford Telecom and Mastercart, built for crews.
A world that changes. Companies you loot come back under a new name, so the map never stays the same.
GreyMarket is rebuilt from scratch, with contracts and intel to trade.
Chat got a redesign, language channels and a proper way to report players.
Bug Bounty is out. Hunt vulnerabilities on the HackerNone platform for cash and reputation.
Supporter Pack adds 24 new tracks to Scoutify and a supporter badge. Thank you to everyone who picks it up.
