Five modes have official badges. Four maps were printed on the match card during an 18 October 2026 read. CRAZY is queued from the mode list, not from a fifth map card. Wave counts below are the ones shown on the HUD and the card.
Map card as read on 18 October 2026
| Map | Mode on the card | Waves | Value printed on the card |
|---|---|---|---|
| City | Easy | 20 | 100 |
| Canyon Bridge | Medium | 30 | 275 |
| Wild Desert | Hard | 40 | 500 |
| Camera Lab | Insane | 50 | 850 |
The card value climbs with the mode. It is the number printed on the card, not a promise of the Coin total after boosts, chests, or an x2 window. The same panel sets the queue from 1 to 4 players. The server itself still holds up to 35 players, so a public lobby can be much larger than the queue you picked.
Older July–September clips selected map and difficulty separately and described Camera Lab on a lower difficulty. If your picker still separates them, learn a new layout on its lowest difficulty before you stack Insane on it. If the card locks the pair, City and Easy are the same button.
Badge holders on 18 October 2026
| Mode | Waves | Holders | Share of Easy holders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 20 | 615,739 | 100% |
| Medium | 30 | 227,059 | 36.9% |
| Hard | 40 | 169,541 | 27.5% |
| Insane | 50 | 144,891 | 23.5% |
| CRAZY | 60 | 102,184 | 16.6% |
Welcome, the first-session badge, had 1,357,249 holders the same day. Less than 37% of Easy clearers held Medium. Hard, Insane, and CRAZY sit closer together, so a team that finishes Hard often has the shape for Insane. A later public badge card showed different ever-won totals, including Welcome at 1,347,989. Use the in-game badge as the newer count. The shape of the ladder is the useful part.
How to move up
Stay on City until the clear is repeatable without panic placements. Move to Canyon Bridge when you want a 30-wave test. Take Wild Desert and Camera Lab only when the previous card is no longer close. CRAZY is 60 waves of the same rules with less room for a slow opening.
Endless appears in August and September footage and in community update notes. It was not one of the six badges in the 18 October badge set. Treat it as a mode you confirm in the live picker, not as a seventh official rung.
