Hull Rupture game modes

The names on the achievement page are the names I use. Internal labels still say War and Shortcut. Those are codes, not the words on the achievement card. Cursed does not appear in any of the 64 achievements.

Difficulty words that show up in achievement sentences are Easy, Hard, and Hardcore. Normal is only the internal name Normal_Unbroken. I am not printing Normal as a confirmed on-screen label.

6 rows shown. Every row below has at least one public source.

Source counts use the reviewed number of independent original accounts; links that repeat the same studio announcement or platform record do not add a source. Steam's store, news, community and APIs count as one publisher. Dated change notes describe historical evidence; they do not establish current numerical values.

Mode sketch

A 0.0% rate is rounding on the public percentage, not proof that zero people have the achievement.

Unlock requirements for Conquest, Sprint, and Impossible are not in the posts I read. I left those cells blank rather than copying a competing wiki's guess.

Easy is real because achievements say 'any difficulty higher than Easy'. Hard and Hardcore are likewise in the sentences. The store confirms four difficulty settings; it does not identify the remaining label in that count.

Mode	What the text supports	Sample rate
Classic	20 waves plus a boss	26.3% · 7 Nov 2026
Trade	No combat pressure. Moneybags pays tolls with energy only	3.5% · 7 Nov 2026
Conquest	Achievement display name Conquest; internal identifier War	0.2% · 7 Nov 2026
Sprint	Achievement display name Sprint; internal identifier Shortcut	0.0% · 7 Nov 2026
Endless	Separate mode at launch, including a wave 30 achievement	0.2% · 7 Nov 2026
Impossible	Named in the achievement text	0.0% · 7 Nov 2026

FAQ

Is Endless the same as Classic?

No. Classic ends at wave 20 and a boss. Endless is its own mode.

What is Cursed mode?

It is not in the 64 achievements. I am not listing it as a mode.

When does Trade unlock?

If you unlocked it in the demo, the release post says it is available. Otherwise the post does not give a step.
