The game’s Survival Mode now has a Hardcore setting, Classic Mode is back, and a new Ranked season has started.
The patch notes said the Hardcore Survival Mode “introduces higher stakes, giving players only one chance to make it through all 50 waves. That’s right, if your team is defeated, you’re back to square one. Hardcore Mode is not for the faint of heart—it’ll take skill, close teamwork, and careful strategy.”
Other small tweaks were made to Uncharetd 4’s Survival Mode, which you can see in the list of full patch notes below.
After many fan requests (mostly badgering Tweets), Naughty Dog has put Classic Mode back into the mix. Found in the Multiplayer playlist menu, the “back-to-basics” gameplay makes you focus on combat and movement with no store, Mysticals, or Sidekicks.
New rewards are available in the latest Ranked season this update provides. Players can earn weapon skins that match the Ranked Trucker Hats, Shades, and Bandanas, which were available in prior seasons. Those who reach Gold rank or higher will also unlock a Ranked Huzzah taunt. Shiny.
The Qualifier and Master Ranks systems have also been tweaked.
“Qualifiers will focus on points earned, rather than matches won,” Naughty Dog said. “Master Rank will now have points earned based off an average of matches… This way, your progress is based entirely on your own performance.”

Classic Mode Returns to The Beta Test Playlist
Back by popular request, Classic Mode has returned to the Beta Test Playlist in Multiplayer. For those who missed it when it first launched in November, Classic is a back-to-basics mode that focuses on core combat and movement—there’s no in-game store, Mysticals, or Sidekicks. Find it in the Multiplayer playlist menu today.
New Ranked Season
For the competitive crowd, the next Ranked season has begun, introducing new rewards and improvements to progression. This season, you’ll have a chance to earn a new set of Ranked weapon skins to complement the Ranked Trucker Hats, Shades, and Bandanas offered in prior seasons. What’s more, this season, we’re awarding a special Ranked Huzzah taunt for those that reach Gold rank or higher. Alongside new rewards, we are also improving the Qualifier and Master Rank systems – Qualifiers will focus on points earned, rather than matches won and Master Rank will now have points earned based off an average of matches ( Master Rank will give a match rating averaging your 20 previous Ranked matches). This way, your progress is based entirely on your own performance.
