Gameplay Modes

Mode Priority

Priority order for launch storytelling:

1. Battle Royale / Last-man extraction (core identity)
2. Last Man Standing (smaller elimination loop)
3. Survival Wave (PvE/PvPvE pressure loop)
4. Objective modes (casual-first, later ranked variants)

Core Presets

Battle Royale (Core)

• Main high-tension loop.
• Stake-aligned ranked combat.
• Kill/extract decisions decide profit.

Last Man Standing

• Cleaner elimination format.
• Good for smaller lobbies and shorter rounds.

Survival Wave

• Escalating wave pressure.
• Good for mechanics mastery and squad coordination.
• Can exist as event mode or ranked variant depending on season rules.

Objective Layer (Casual-first)

Objective modes are for shorter sessions and team expression.

• Knockout
• Gem Grab
• Soccer / Goal mode

Economy Connection
