Survival Mode is a Game Mode introduced to the game in the 1st Mode Pack. Players fight against enemies, trying to stay alive for as long as possible. Players may do anything necessary: parachute off cliffs, salvage vehicle wrecks, relocate allies, or steal weapons and equipment.
In private Survival matches, if one player pauses, the game immediately stops until both players are unpaused.
Types[]
There are several different types of Survival that can be chosen from in the Server settings.
Tower-Assisted[]
In Tower-Assisted mode, the player is assisted by a number of AI-controlled towers and turrets. These can get destroyed by enemies, but can also be repaired. People repairing structures cannot attack.
Solo[]
In Solo mode, players are all on their own. There may only be one player at any time, and no assistance is given in any way, not even through air strikes. The player must rely on their own weapon to survive; they may, however, pick up weapons from enemies.
