Description

Legacy Molten, internally referred to as Normal, is a mode exclusive to Sandbox mode. It is an older version of Molten mode, more specifically mostly replicating the version before the 11th of December 2024 without Enemies Beta applied, with some minor differences, like the income, wave structure or soundtracks.

While the actual legacy Fallen mode used to give cash on damage, with a shared cash of 50% of the damage dealt being given to all other players, this is not the case here. In the Sandbox mode, the new income system is used. Though the enemies have no set cash values, they all give $5 on death.

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.

The cash distribution between players is based on how much damage they dealt. 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:

• Duo: 12.5%
• Trio: 16.7%
• Quad: 18.75%

On the condition that the resulting amount has 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 Normal gives $5 when killed in solo, $3.75 in duo, rounded up to $4, $2.5 in trio, rounded up to $3 and $1.25 in quad, rounded down to $1 between the players that damaged it. Players that did not damage it receive $0.625 in duo, rounded up to $1, $0.835 in trio, rounded up to $1 and $0.9375 in quad, rounded up to $1.

Wave Structure

In Legacy Molten mode, the formula for calculating wave bonus on each wave is:

($205 + (Waves Completed - 1) × $75) × (1 - 0.1 × Players)

The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed. It is 35% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 20%.

The waves in Legacy Molten mode follow these timings:

Waves	Wave Timer	Skip Time
1-29	1:00	0:19
30-39	1:20	0:19
40	99:99	N/A
