Endless Mode Survival Guide

Think you've mastered Megabonk? Endless Mode is the ultimate test. Here's how to survive past the 30-minute Reaper and push for those 60+ minute runs.

What is Endless Mode?

Endless Mode removes the 30-minute time limit and Death timer. Instead, enemies continuously scale in difficulty, and you must survive as long as possible.

Key Differences from Normal Mode

• No Death timer at 30 minutes


• Enemies scale infinitely


• XP requirements increase dramatically


• Chest spawn rates decrease over time


• Score is based on survival time and kills

Phase 1: The Foundation (0-15 Minutes)

Starting Strategy

Choose the Right Character

- Red Death (best mobility)
- Leda (tankiest option)
- Queen Sigma (highest damage)

Early Game Priorities

- Get 3-4 weapons by minute 5
- Focus on AOE weapons
- Pick up Attractorb early

Build by Minute 30

You should have:

• At least 4 evolved weapons


• Full 6/6 slots used

Phase 3: The Grind (30-60 Minutes)

After minute 30, the game changes dramatically.

Enemy Scaling

• HP increases exponentially


• Damage becomes one-shot potential

DOT effects - Consistent but slow

Phase 4: Ultra Late Game (60+ Minutes)

Welcome to the true endgame.

What Changes

• Most weapons become useless


• Only scaling damage matters


• One hit = death
