Unspecified reason

Edge of Survival is a unique end-game mode in which players can challenge one of three particularly strong Shadow Realms for rewards. Players are given a set time to clear the stage, with points being given upon killing enemies. The total score awarded depends on how many enemies were killed, how fast the level was cleared and any difficulty modifiers that were in effect. There are four difficulties; Normal for levels 1-2, Advancing for 3-5, Hard for 6-8, and Extreme at level 9.

Each stage is unlocked by entering the Shadow Realm at the corresponding locations in Snezhnaya. Completing one will unlock the World Quest The Shooting Range and the Deep Shadow Realm, the tutorial quest.

Prime Ice cannot be utilized in Edge of Survival maps, and ammo boxes are a one-time use. If the player is defeated while clearing a stage, they are placed at the last unlocked checkpoint and any damaged enemies will have their health restored to full, though slain enemies will not respawn.

The challenge ends once the final enemy is defeated or time runs out. Additional time is given when an enemy is defeated. If the stage is cleared with excess time, it will be converted into additional score, with one second equivalent to 1,000 points.

Each difficulty adds additional multipliers onto the enemy:

• Normal: 0x
• Advancing: Score 2.5x, enemy HP 2.0x
• Hard: Score 5.0x, enemy HP 3.0x
• Extreme: Score 10.0x, enemy HP 4.5x

In order to attempt Extreme Mode, the player must have acquired at least 300,000 points from a lower difficulty.
