Gameplay can be considered more arcade-like compared to the single-player campaign, as players can survive more damage and will be pitted against tougher, more agile enemies, some of whom have a variety of special abilities.
Up to four players are pitted against waves of computer-controlled enemies, similar to Survival Mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Hostiles in Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, and Safeguard mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts. However, the players retain their upgrades, abilities, perks and weapons through the flip. At each 25th round, the rounds are reset, or 'flipped' as it is called in-game, but the difficulty is permanently increased. The game mode consists of 25 rounds of increasingly powerful enemies. It is a round based survival gametype that goes indefinitely until all players are defeated. For a similarly named game mode, see Exo Zombies.Įxo Survival is a cooperative game mode featured in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
