Description[]
Casual mode is one of the five main survival modes. The mode has 30 waves, and the final boss is Patient Zero.
Cash is only gained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. In solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it is damaged enough. With each additional player, this decreases by 25%, which means that in a quad, you only get 25% of the cash. This amount is distributed between players based on how much damage they dealt. However, if a player has not dealt any damage, they will receive a percentage of the enemy's full cash upon its death or when it was damaged enough, which is 12.5% in duo, 16.7% in trio and 18.75% in quad. If it is a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down. For example, the Hidden Boss gives $600 when killed in solo,
$450 in duo,
$300 in trio and
$150 in quad between the players that damaged it. Players that did not damage it receive
$75 in duo,
$100 in trio and
$113 in quad.
Rewards[]
The game calculates how many Coins and
EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more
EXP (Friday ā Sunday), any
EXP earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any
EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Some maps like Mason Arch can also increase all rewards by a specific amount. Regular
EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers.
Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
Rewards are calculated as:
Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
---|---|

Season | Rewards |

Speedy Wave 3 |
Slow Wave 5 |

Wave Structure[]
In Casual mode, the formula for calculating the wave bonus depends on the wave. Between waves 1 and 20, it is:
$200 + (Waves Completed - 1) Ć
$150
Between waves 21 and 30, it is calculated as:
$300 + (Waves Completed - 1) Ć
$350
There is also a third wave bonus which is unused in the mode, which is meant to happen between Waves 29 and 30. However, it is set to happen between Waves 29 and 30, same waves as the second one. Due to this wave bonus appearing after the second one, second one takes priority, overriding it. The only difference between these two is that the increase per wave is $450 and not
$350.
Depending on player count, the wave bonus is reduced using multipliers. These multipliers are:
Players | Reduction per Player | Total Reduction |
---|---|---|
Solo | 0% | 0% |
Duo | 5% | 10% |
Trio | 5% | 15% |
Quad | 5% | 20% |
The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed and no damage was dealt to the base health. It is 35% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 20%.
The waves in Casual mode follow these timings:
Waves | Wave Timer | Skip Time[5] |
---|---|---|
1-23 | 1:00 | 0:19[6] |
24-29 | 1:10 | 0:19[7] |

Trivia[]
- Casual mode is the first mode not to reward a badge upon completion.
- Casual mode re-uses the old Intermediate Mode icon.
- Casual mode's addition seems to have been unplanned and made quickly, as its addition was only mentioned two days prior and it reuses Patient Zero as a boss.
- Additionally, multiple parts of it have been reused from the Molten mode prior to 11th of December 2024 (rewards given, wave bonus equations) and Intermediate mode (tracks, modified wave structure).
- Unlike Molten and Fallen mode, it is not named after its final boss, Patient Zero.
