Gamemodes Overview

The worlds of Arcbound and how to reach them.

gamemodes

Arcbound runs several worlds side by side. Travel between them through the portal network at spawn.

Heian - open world

The main survival world. No special rules, all the danger. Story quests, world events, and roaming weakened bosses live here.

Sendai - extraction

A dense city colony played as extraction PvP: drop in, hunt loot and points, and get out alive. Everything you extract is yours; everything you were carrying when you fall is not.

The Raid Lobby

The staging hub for all raid content: party formation, boss selection, mutators, the raid shop, and the ready check. See Raid Basics.

The Culling Games

The recurring competitive event: sealed colonies, points, player-made rules, betting, and a season ladder. Enrollment opens on a schedule and Kogane hosts it in-world - see The Culling Games for the full guide.

The lore behind the Games

Every world sits inside Kenjaku’s barrier, and the colonies are the Games. Read The Record for how it got this way.
