Survival Mode

Master Pixel Gun 3D's Co-op Survival mode! Learn about enemies, maps, scoring, and get expert tips to maximize your score and dominate with your team. Updated for PC Edition.

Alright, let's talk about Co-op Survival in Pixel Gun 3D. It used to be called Cooperative, and the main idea is simple: team up with other players to take down as many monsters as you can in 4 minutes. The player with the highest score at the end wins. Think of it as a friendly competition to see who can rack up the most points! One important thing to know is that you can't hurt your teammates in this mode. Also, enemies are only vulnerable to weapons from a specific category that the game suggests. If you try to blast them with something else, they won't take any damage. So, pay attention to what the game tells you to use! Your score goes up based on how tough the enemies are. The tougher they are, the more points you get. But watch out – dying, whether from monsters or your own explosives, will actually cost you points. So, try to stay alive! ## Enemies Co-op Survival throws a bunch of different monsters at you. They all have the stats of medium-difficulty enemies. You'll face: * Zombie * Venom Soldier * Crawler * Peashooter * Double Headed Zombie * Mummy Stalker * Devil Stalker * Skeleton Mage * Parallel Peashooter * Walking Bear * Hippo (Enemy) * Alligator (Enemy) * Yellow Peashooter * The Pretty Duckling * Tiger (Enemy) * Blue Alligator * Terrifying Bear * Walking Duck * Pitbull (Enemy) * Foxy * Balloon Boy ## Maps You can play Co-op Survival on a few different maps: * Utopia * Deadly Arena * Terrifying Resort * Scary Pizzeria ## Tips for Survival Here are a few pointers to help you get a high score: * Target High-Value Enemies: Early on, you'll see lots of weaker enemies. But keep an eye out for Double Headed Zombies, as they give a lot of points. Try to get them before your teammates do! In the last 30 seconds, Red Stalkers and more Double Headed Zombies will appear – these are your best bet for big points, so focus them down. * Headshots and Weapon Choice: It looks like headshots give you 10 points, while regular hits give 5. This means Primary weapons or Flamethrowers can be really effective. Always try to use the weapon category the game suggests. If it says 'Primary,' use your Primary weapon to get those points! * Pets and Gadgets: While using the suggested weapon category is key, don't forget your pets and offensive gadgets. They can help you take down enemies, especially when the game restricts you to a certain weapon type. Barrier shields can also be useful for controlling areas. There are even more tips available here if you want to dive deeper. ## A Little Trivia * The enemies don't get tougher based on your level, so even high-level players can find it a bit easy sometimes. It's more of a point-chasing hunt. * The game lasts exactly 4 minutes. It used to be 3 minutes, and before that, it was called Time Battle! * The rewards have changed over time. For example, you used to get 4 coins per match, but now it's 3 coins and 20 XP, or even 2 coins and 10 XP in later updates. * Since update 12.1.0, there's a feature that forces you to use only a specific weapon category for a short time. If you hit enemies with the wrong weapon type, they won't take damage. Gadgets and pets can be a temporary workaround, but you'll mostly be relying on the required weapon. * As of update 18.0.2, this mode is mainly found in Clan Wars and Private Matches. Later, in update 20.0.0, it moved to the mini games section, making the map selection random, much like Deadly Games.
