Survival



Survival is one of 3 new mission types to replace Raid, Spy and Deception missions. Survival has replaced Raid missions.

Players will have to fight endless enemies (Non-wave style) to survive for as long as possible whilst slowly losing oxygen. Each kill will have a chance to drop an oxygen supply worth 3% of oxygen and occasionally the Lotus will drop off oxygen tanks worth 30% of oxygen. Mission victory is achieved when a player goes to extraction after 5 minutes, and mission failure is achieved when all players die and forfeit, or when oxygen runs out, and all players are dead.

When oxygen completely runs out, the player's shield appears to be prevented from recharging (showing blue energy around the border of the player's screen), and all oxygen containers dissapear and stop dropping. The game ends in failure when all players have died but as long as one player makes it to extraction with no remaining oxygen it will be considered a mission success.

This mission type is now available in Update 10.

Tips

 * If you are the last person alive and still have a revive left DO NOT choose to revive nor quit. The game will hang and the oxygen will continue to drain, allowing it to reach to 0% giving your team a mission victory as opposed to a mission failure resulting in bonus experience and picked up mods/resources to be obtained. (This may only hold true for alert survivals. In regular survival missions, success can only be achieved by having at least one player at extraction)
 * When activating the alarm, travel to the first marker and stay in that general location as a group. Life support will drop in other places in the map, so team coordination is critical to either move as a team to each, or have someone sprint to them, preferably someone with Shade so they can pass by the hoardes of enemies.
 * (not comfirmed)  It appears that the timer stops if you run out of oxygen while under 5 minutes on the counter. It may be a bug or a method of inducing a forced defeat scenario on players who ran out of air before mission was completed.
