Description
Casual mode is one of the five main survival modes. The mode has 30 waves, and the final boss is Grave Digger.
Cash is only gained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. It uses a slightly different method of distributing cash between players, as enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player does all the damage to an enemy, both players will receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it is damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it is a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down. For example, the Hidden Boss gives 
$600 when killed in solo, $300 in duo, $200 in trio and $150 in quad between the players that damaged it.
Rewards
The game calculates how many 
Coins and 
EXP you receive based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more EXP (Friday – Sunday), any EXP earned is multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplies any EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts are additive. Some maps like Mason Arch can also increase all rewards by a specific amount. Regular EXP boosts are multiplicative with other modifiers.
Any rewards that end in a decimal point is rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
Rewards are calculated as:
| Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
|---|---|
| 400 × (Waves/30)^1.75 + 50 (Triumph Only)
|
Waves Completed × 2.5 EXP + 15 EXP (Triumph Only)
|
Triumphing Casual mode can give out an additional reward, which can be a crate, consumable or ticket. They are meant to be guaranteed, though due to a bug this does not always happen. Additionally, items are sometimes not given out. These items are:
- Common (50%)
- Grenade (1-2)
- Flash Bang (1-2)
- Molotov (1-2)
- Uncommon (30%)
Time Scale Ticket
Revive Ticket
- Rare (20%)
- Low Grade Consumable Crate
Spin Ticket- Barricade
- Supply Drop
- AirStrike

Wave Structure
In Casual mode, the formula for calculating the wave bonus depends on the wave. Between waves 1 and 20, it is:
- $200 + (Waves Completed - 1) × $150
Between waves 21 and 30, it is calculated as:
- $300 + (Waves Completed - 1) × $350
There is also a third wave bonus which is unused in the mode, which is meant to happen between Waves 29 and 30. However, it is set to happen between Waves 29 and 30, same waves as the second one. Due to this wave bonus appearing after the second one, second one takes priority, overriding it. The only difference between these two is that the increase per wave is $450 and not $350.
Depending on player count, the wave bonus is reduced using multipliers. These multipliers are:
| Players | Reduction per Player | Total Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | 0% | 0% |
| Duo | 5% | 10% |
| Trio | 5% | 15% |
| Quad | 5% | 20% |
The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed and no damage was dealt to the base health. It is 35% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 20%.
The waves in Casual mode follow these timings:
Bolded names indicate an enemy type's debut.

The total number of enemies that spawn in Casual mode, excluding enemies that are summoned, is 601 enemies.

- As of the 26th of February 2025, Grave Digger is the final boss of Casual mode.
- Additionally, multiple parts of it have been reused from the Molten mode prior to 11th of December 2024 (rewards given, wave bonus equations) and Intermediate mode (tracks, modified wave structure).
