What Survival Mode is for
Armageddon 1.0 positions Survival Mode as a combat-focused experience where speakers draw zombie waves away from population centres. The update confirms a preparation period, defensive waves, supply drops, and an extraction outcome.
| Stage | Verified Armageddon 1.0 loop |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Responders have a few minutes to loot and prepare defences around the first speakers. |
| Wave defence | Hold out for five minutes while protecting the speakers. |
| Progression | A successful wave brings another supply drop before the team moves to the next objective. |
| Outcome | Three completed waves call a helicopter extraction; after two failed waves, early extraction becomes available. |
How to approach early runs
The safe early assumption is that team spacing, ammo conservation, and extraction awareness are more important than aggressive exploration.
- Use the preparation window to agree on roles and a retreat call before the wave begins.
- Treat each supply drop as a regroup point, not as a reason to split without a plan.
- Use early extraction when the verified failure condition opens rather than treating it as an automatic loss.
- Prepare before the first wave
Use the initial loot window to decide how the team will defend and when it will fall back.
- Protect the active speakers
The confirmed objective is to keep the speakers broadcasting through the five-minute wave.
- Reassess after each wave
Use the additional supply drop and breathing room to decide whether the team can continue safely.
