Players will be able to leave the map with all earned items by getting to one of the exit points located around each map. Players can choose to work together with other players, fight against them or avoid them altogether. Players will enter the map at a random point and can freely explore the map to scavenge supplies and uncover components of the story. The free play game mode will contain a large, session based map with limited numbers of players in it at one time. The latter was added in Survarium update 0.30. There are currently five modes available: Team Deathmatch, Artifact Hunt, Research, Battery Retrieval, and Slaughter. The PvP mode is intended to allow players to represent their chosen factions and combat against rival factions. There are three planned game modes announced so far. Vostok Games have detailed their plans for Survarium in Dev Diaries both in written and video form.
