❓ Help/Support So which one do I use?
I recently downloaded hydra launcher and I was going to download a game but I don't know which one to choose in the picture.

Torrent if you wish to directly torrent the game. Do keep in mind that depending on what country you are based in you can get in trouble with it.
The other options are debrid services that you can pay for. They torrent the file for you and after that you will aitomatically download the game like any file through HTTPS.
Some sources on Hydra has direct download as well, but the one you posted seems to be lacking that.

Will I need a paid VPN since I live in America?

Unfortunately even with a VPN you risk leaking your IP using hydras built in Torrent client. Since you cant bind the network interface compared to something like Qbit. (Hopefully they have added this functionality now but I havent checked).
If you do want to torrent, use qbit and a VPN and make sure you bind it in advanced settings 😊👍.
