Modes

Modes
The Mode is voted on by the players during the first twenty seconds of the game. There are ten Modes.

Depending on the Mode chosen, a great deal of gameplay elements are affected. These elements include but are not limited to the number of enemies that spawn, the types of enemies that spawn, the stats of the enemies that spawn, the difficulty of mission objectives, the Medals and Unlockables that a player can qualify for, the Skill Identifiers that are eligible to be unlocked, and more.

Modifiers
The Modifiers are somewhat more straightforward. Each Modifier adds a single persistent element or restriction to the gameplay of that one game and more than one Modifier can be chosen. These Modifiers also change the Medals and Unlockables that a player can qualify for.
