After voting for [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode, one player must type "120", "1" and "1009" in the game chat. A shriek and screen darkening will accompany each message. After the last number is typed out, the map will become permanently discolored. The base health needs to be reduced to 1, and on Wave 40, the [[Fallen King]] must be defeated in under 60 seconds, which will cause a quicker death animation to play, with the [[Fallen King]] smashing the ground and fleeing with its sword. Using [[Consumables]] on Wave 40 will cause the '''Hidden Wave''' not to be activated.

After defeating the [[Fallen King]] under 60 seconds, the next wave will appear as Wave 41. After the Wave 41 timer ends, the players will begin floating in mid-air, and the screen will become a strong purple static background. An unknown narrator simply known in the game as [[???]] will address the player. After the [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]]'s dialogue, the game abruptly pauses and displays a false disconnect message with defeating the [[Fallen King]] as the reason on a pitch-black background. As the fake error message glitches, it flashes back to the game. The [[Awakened Fallen King]] will spawn in, and the Wave ??? begins, giving all players {{Money|50,000}}.

During the course of the wave, purple fog and dark purple particles will cover the entire map, with bright trails flying around. The wave text becomes glitched in a similar fashion to the [[Glitchy Nametag]].

===First Players to Triumph===
===First Players to Triumph===
The first 50 players to beat the '''Hidden Wave''' received the {{Color|Other|Triumphant}} skin for the [[Hacker]] tower. Initially, it was the first 40 people, but due to controversy over the first eight people to beat it, as their teams included Quality Assurance Testers who did not partake in '''Hidden Wave''' testing, it was expanded to 48 and then to 50 as the last team went over the 48 threshold.
