[edit]Hardcore mode is one of the regular modes, being the hardest mode in the game. It can only be played by using the hardcore elevators. This mode rewards Error creating thumbnail: File missing Gems instead of Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coins, unlike the other modes. Hardcore mode has 50 waves. It is not named after its final boss, the Void Reaver (Legacy). In this mode, shared cash is 10%. Additionally, this mode has the HP Locked modifier, which makes it so the base health is always set to 100, regardless of players' levels. It also increases all currency rewards by 20%. You need to be at least Level 50 to play this mode.
Hardcore's inflation will be reworked. Now it starts off with a base inflation of 10%, adding 5% per 5 Waves starting from Wave 20.
Rewards
[edit]The game calculates how many Error creating thumbnail: File missing Gems and Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. These Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP bonuses multiply Error creating thumbnail: File missing EXP after it has been multiplied by modifiers.
Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
Currently, rewards are calculated as:
| Gem Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| (Error creating thumbnail: File missing 150 × (Waves/50)^1.75 + Error creating thumbnail: File missing 200 (Triumph Only)) × 1.25 | Wave 1-19: (Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 1.5 EXP) × 1.2 Wave 20-44: (Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 2 EXP) × 1.2 Wave 45-50: (Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 4 EXP) × 1.2 |
Before the Hardcore Rework Update, rewards were calculated as:
| Gem Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| (Error creating thumbnail: File missing 100 × (Waves/50)^1.75 + Error creating thumbnail: File missing 150 (Triumph Only)) × 1.2 | Wave 1-9: (Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 1.5 EXP) × 1.2 Wave 10-50: (Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 3 EXP) × 1.2 |
Before the Polluted Wasteland II Update, rewards were calculated as:
| Gem Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| Error creating thumbnail: File missing 100 × (Waves/50)^1.75 + Error creating thumbnail: File missing 150 (Triumph Only) | Wave 1-9: Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 1.5 EXP Wave 10-50: Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 3 EXP |
Before the v1.2.1 Update , rewards calculated as:
| Gem Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| Error creating thumbnail: File missing 100 × (Waves/50)^1.75 + Error creating thumbnail: File missing 50 (Triumph Only) | Wave 1-9: Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 1.5 EXP Wave 10-50: Waves Completed × Error creating thumbnail: File missing 3 EXP |
Triumphing Hardcore mode can give one of these additional rewards:
- Low Grade Crate - 50% chance
- Mid Grade Crate - 25% chance
- Time Scale Tickets - 25% chance

Skip times are listed in the wave structure.
Bolded names indicates an enemy type's debut.
