This guide is only for the survival game mode in the new boring man beta.

Your goal is to survive as long as possible without the enemy capturing the flag or you dying with not enough money left to revive.

You can get money via the following methods:

• Getting a kill
  
• Your team mates getting a kill
  
• Surviving the end of the round
  
• Completing contracts from the bar

This money is used for the following purposes:

• Buying chests
  
• Reviving Teammates
  
• Buying vices and weapons from the bar

In the beginning of a new wave is a chest round. Enemies won't stop spawning and a limited amount of chests get spread around the map. You use your money to open a chest and get a random vice. The more people are in the server, the more chests will spawn.

A beacon will spawn at the start of the game. Advancing the 5 different tiers of beacons will grant you buffs for the rest of the game. Completing the beacon will accelerate you to the last wave. This will cause The Man to fight you.

Tier 1: Able to spawn a helicopter that hangs around for a few rounds. The helicopter increases in cost every time it's called.
Tier 2: Increases amount for the flag to be captured by 30%
Tier 3: Increases bomb timer by 1 minute
Tier 4: ?
Tier 5: ?

After a set timer during the chest round, the objective round begins. The flag becomes available for capture by the enemies and your goal is to prevent the enemy from capturing the flag. A circle forms around the flag and any enemy that enters this circle contributes to capturing the flag. You can prevent the flag from being captured by also staying inside this circle.

Sometimes a bomb spawns on the map. You have to defuse the bomb before the timer ends, or else...

The bar opens up at the start of the round. A fine gentlemen greets you and allows you to buy several vices and weapons. This fine gentlemen also provides you some contracts that allows you to earn some extra cash on the side. You can put up a wager with the bartender. The bartender then challenges you to do a specific task. If you succeed you get extra money, else you lose the money you wagered.

Missions can be acquired at the bar. You can check your missions by pressing the inspect vices button (default key is V). The bar can currently give out the following missions:

This mission requires you to deal a certain amount of damage to any enemy. You are not required to kill the enemy. This mission completes as soon as you reach the required amount.

This mission has many variations. There is "Kill X enemies with any weapon" which requires you to kill a certain amount of enemies with any weapon you like, "Kill X enemies with X weapon" which requires you to kill a certain amount of enemies with a specified weapon and "Kill X enemy X amount of times" which requires you to kill a specific enemy.

This mission requires you to pick up a specific weapon and bring it back to the bar. As soon as you accept this mission the most suitable enemy may be carrying this weapon around. Example: If you accept a sniper weapon delivery mission at wave 20, a purple is the most suitable enemy to use that weapon. Similar if you accept a dual pistol weapon delivery mission at wave 30, a blue soldier might be the most suitable to carry that weapon.

This mission requires you to kill a specific boss. You do not have to deal the finishing blow.

This mission requires you to run around the map picking up folders as you go.

Spawns at wave: last wave after the manlings are defeated if you start the beacon event
The legend, the myth, The Man. The final boss of survival. This boss has a variety of attacks at its disposal including: A slap attack, a fireball attack and a shockwave attack.

In the late game, existing enemies will get a stronger variant of them, these enemies will have an outline around their body. They have an increased health, speed and damage. These ranks are:

• Strong (white outline)
  
• Powerful ()
  
• Elite (Purple outline)
  
• God-like (Gold outline)

There are a great variety of bosses currently in the game. These bosses have all 1 thing in common, they fire faster, walk faster and have more health than the average stickman.

This boss holds a rapid firing rocket launcher. The best way to deal with this boss is to be out of his reach and hit him with a grenade launcher, or use a magic shield to block his rockets and hit him with magic.

These 2 enemies use sniper rifles to kill you from afar and switch to rapid firing weapons when you get close. When in danger, these bosses teleport away from you.

This is a dangerous boss with constant triple damage. When Indigo spawns most of the enemies will be purples instead of other survival enemies.

This boss moves incredibly fast and is hard to hit. Uses a skateboard to zoom around the map. Doesn't necessarily try to capture the flag.

This boss can dodge every bullet shot at him, the only thing that can damage him is fist and the shield from magic.

This boss leaves behind poison clouds when he moves.

In the game you can find 3 different Super vices. These vices have very powerful properties. These vices are a very rare. They can only be found in a specific wave. If nobody gets the vice in that specific wave it won't appear again until the Manlings are defeated

This most of the time depends on your playstyle and the vices you plan to collect. Right now the meta is to have magic as your main weapon and whatever you feel comfortable with as your second weapon. Sniper rifles are useful for killing bosses from afar when you have a line of sight on the flag and fast firing weapons like SMG and AK are useful for dealing quickly with a big mob of enemies on the point. Explosion weapons like the grenade launcher are also useful in this situation.

The best way to protect the flag right now is to all group up on the flag to keep any enemies out of the circle. A single person should throw a healing grenade at the point to heal players. Do not throw a healing grenade when a boss appears as the boss can be healed by the grenade. Sometimes you can hide right at the border of the flag without getting killed.

Healing grenades are very useful for healing yourself and getting rid of poison. One very useful trick is to throw a healing grenade right on the flag when defending it. You would help yourself and team mates with this.

Reviving players is very helpful. When you are dead you don't earn any money at all which goes to waste. Reviving them allows them to still earn money that they can spend on chests and reviving other players. Don't revive players right at the end of the round though, they wouldn't be able to get enough money back in time.

Before you start mashing revive as soon as you die, look first if it's smart to revive yourself. If it's almost the end of the round and you see that your team mates are still alive and doing well, then you should hold off on reviving yourself.

Sometimes a flag is situated so that you can hide behind a wall or platform and still contest the point. You can use this to your advantage to stop the enemies from capturing the point while still being able to do something against them. The best weapon in this spot would be the grenade launcher.

If you're good at quick math, make sure you only purchase chests if it leaves you with enough money to revive. The cost to revive can be seen at the bottom of your Vices (default keybind is c). This is just a rule of thumb, and you can adjust how you play to this rule based on your number of antacids, the current difficulty of the waves, and if your server has a 'designated driver' (someone who is intentionally saving their money for revives).

If you have any strategies you'd like to share, do post them in the comments or message me on the Boring Union Discord server.

Need to get:
Nice to have:

• Stimulants
  
• Lager
  
• Ale
  
• Red Wine

Once you've got enough Screwdrivers, you can kill every enemy with ease using your fists. White wine helps you a lot with this as long as you keep yourself overhealed, which shouldn't be too hard once you have enough Mead. The nice to have list is mainly for survivability.

Need to get:
Nice to have:

• White Whine
  
• Margarita

This build allows you to mow down every enemy you see using the chain gun. The Whiskey and Tequila is used to keep your ammo on stock and your lives filled up. The white whine is nice to have for that extra damage you can do. Margarita allows you to shoot even faster with the machine gun allowing a higher DPS. The moonshine is so that you don't have to wait so long for your weapon to reload.
