==~~Custom survival~~==

==Gameplay==

~~Maps with~~ the ~~sur_ prefix are old survival mode maps. They can now be played~~ in the "~~User maps~~" ~~menu, where maps in your documents\cobalt\maps folder will appear~~.

In Waves Survival, your goal is to kill all the enemies in the "attack" before the timer (which is hidden unless there's not too many time left) runs out and not to die meanwhile.

In the ~~old survival mode, players try~~ to ~~survive~~ the ~~increasingly stronger waves~~ of enemies ~~while trying~~ to ~~gain as many~~ [[~~Volts~~]] ~~as they can~~.

If you die, you're given the chance to restart the latest wave (a wave is a set of attacks).

~~ ~~

There are four kinds of attacks:

* A normal attack, with just "average" enemies.

~~===Gameplay===~~

* A [[Raid Caller]] attack, in which you'll have to kill a certain enemy target before a short timer runs out, or suffer the consequences of one out of various kinds of [[Raid|raids]].

~~In survival mode the levels often have a protected spawn with lockable doors~~, ~~but~~ in ~~certain levels the doors cannot be locked. Some levels~~ have ~~no protected areas, thus leaving little time~~ to ~~buy and consider different weapons or items. Part of~~ the ~~difficulty of survival is that if~~ the ~~player doesn~~'~~t act fairly quickly and often the enemies can build up and become virtually impossible to kill without being overwhelmed~~. A ~~good solution~~ to ~~this~~ is ~~to toss some form of grenade~~ or ~~other throwable into~~ the ~~cluster and/or use an fully automatic or area-of-effect damage weapon~~.

* A "bodyguard" attack, in which you'll have to prevent the little [[Bopo]] brain from dying until the attack's end.

~~ ~~

* A boss attack, in which you'll have to defeat a special enemy that is stronger or has more health than the average enemies.

In the beggining of every wave (while you're in the shop) you'll also be able to see what enemies will spawn during the attacks on that wave.

~~===Loot===~~

~~Killing enemies and accessing hard to reach locations i.e.~~ the ~~top~~ of ~~a tower, results~~ in the ~~player gaining loot. After acquiring it, players can convert all the loot collected from killing~~ enemies ~~to [[Volts]] at~~ the ~~[[Volt Converter]].~~

~~This will also increase your score~~.

~~ ~~

==~~=Buying Items=~~==

==Shop==

~~You can buy items with~~ the ~~[[Volts]]~~ you ~~collect~~ to ~~help~~ you ~~survive~~ the ~~increasingly difficult waves. There are various upgrades~~ for each ~~weapon~~, ~~such as extended magazines and scopes.~~

Every time a wave is completed, the player will be teleported out of the map (same way players are teleported into the map every time a wave starts) and the "virtual" shop will appear. This shop includes three sections:

~~Additionally~~, a [[~~Nano shower~~]] ~~can be used~~ to ~~repair the player at~~ a ~~cost of 5 [[Volts]]~~ (~~by default~~).

* The hull section, where you'll be able to improve your character with better hull sets.

* The Gambling section, where you can buy one of the three items shown for each category (Weapons, Good Weapons, [[Throwables]], Equipment and Supplies) or gamble to make a random free item appear (Note: the item in the top row will then dissapear).

* The Equipment section, where you'll be able to sell the items you already own.

~~Some levels are based on going back to~~ the ~~main hub where you spawn to purchase items~~, ~~while others are more based on getting~~ to ~~specific areas in the map~~ to ~~get more advanced weapons and items~~. ~~Some~~ of ~~these areas can be guarded or difficult to access~~.

==Multiplayer==

The Waves Survival gamemode can be played with more than one player at the same time.

Each player will have its own shop, and only one of the players is needed to stay alive to complete an attack/wave.

The difficulty of the attacks should also increase depending on the amount of players.
