Special ops is a great event that can provide you with a good amount of loot and rewards. In this article, we will take a look at what special ops are, some tips on how to play effectively, and what rewards can be earnt from it. So let’s get into it, what are special ops in Survivor.io?
The special ops game mode in Survivor.io in which you can choose from 3 different challenges to collect equipment, gems, gold, and energy essence. The difficulty of the challenge is displayed by a color in the title, this follows the same color scheme as the equipment grading (easiest to hardest – white, green, blue, and purple),
The challenges currently in special ops are:
- Kill 3000 enemies (in a timeframe)
- Defeat all bosses (3 bosses)
- After defeating 1 boss, defeat another boss in 10s (bosses spawn together)
Challenges can be refreshed by tapping on the refresh button located above the challenge selection. The challenges and your special op progress last 24 hours.
The rewards for each challenge in special ops change with the difficulty of the event. What makes special ops a great game mode is that you can choose your rewards before you play. This is ideal if you are looking for a specific piece of equipment or loot.
You can unlock extra chests based on how many special op challenges you complete in a 24-hour period. These can be unlocked by completing 2 missions, 5 missions, and 10 missions.
How to access special ops
Special ops can be found by pressing the daily event button in the main lobby, this button can be found in the bottom right corner. Once you press the button it will take you to the daily event page. Special ops will be located at the bottom section of the screen.
The main screen for special ops looks like the image shown above. You can see the list of challenges and rewards listed here that you can select to take part in.
Special ops grade
In special ops you are assigned a special ops grade, this is displayed on the main screen below the special ops title. Your special ops grade depends on your chapter progress in the main game.
Unlocking special op grade skills can be achieved by:
- Grade 1 – Clearing Chapter 8 will unlock special ops
- Grade 2 – Clearing Chapter 10 will unlock excellent grade missions
- Grade 3 – Clearing Chapter 15
- Grade 4 – Clearing Chapter 20 will unlock epic grade missions
- Grade 5 – Clearing Chapter 25
Whilst the rewards are much better at the excellent and epic grade challenges they will be much harder. We recommend these challenges for higher-level players that have plenty of experience playing the game.
The survivor ops game mode can provide you with much-needed gold and equipment which can help when merging your equipment to the higher grades.
Special ops coins
In the special ops game mode, you earn special ops coins for completing challenges. Special op coins are a type of in-game currency that can be exchanged for survivor shards in-game. Once you earn 300 coins you can exchange them for a random survivor shard.
The harder challenges will generally offer more special ops coins as a reward but they can also be much more difficult to complete.
- Completing a normal grade mission (Grey) will give you 10 special op coins
- Completing a good grade mission (Green) will give you 15 special op coins
- Completing a better grade mission (Blue) will give you 25 special op coins
- Completing an excellent grade mission (Excellent) will give you 40 special op coins
- Completing an epic grade mission (Yellow) will give you 80 special op coins
