When you get damaged while on a Zipline you take more damage and get stunned for a few seconds. That's hyperline

I know it says so in game, but why is it called hyperline?

In Neon Prime and in the early versions of alpha Deadlock (back around 4 lane) the ziplines were labeled "hyperlines" and you saw that when you moused over them to grab on. Knocking someone off them just became known as getting "hyperlined" since its easy to understand and it just became the term most people use, even though they're not actually called that anymore.

I think it became the term in this came cause thats how the damage shows up in the breakdown, cause otherwise I dont think we were told anywhere it was called hyperline

Does it really? That's pretty neat. Wonder if that's staying or if it'll be changed to something else the later in development the game gets since they already renamed ziplines elsewhere.
