Mode choice you pick first

You can run this in Standard, and you can run this in Cursed. Cursed tier three can give you golden armor plates, ultra rarity access, and Pack-a-Punch level four.

Your early game setup

You start by farming points with the Akita wall buy, and you keep it for a long time so you can fund perks and Pack-a-Punch. You keep doing TED tasks, since they can give perks, perma perks, Aether tools, and Pack-a-Punch crystals.You start hitting the box for the LGM1 after your base setup feels ready, since early spins can drain points while you still need perks and power.

Your target kit

• LGM1 wonder weapon for your main killing tool.
• Akita as your ammo-mod gun, since wall ammo keeps your loop simple.
• One box gun with big ammo, like an AR or LMG, so you refresh ammo mods without living on wall buys.

Ammo mods and augments

• Fireworks ammo mod: Starburst, Starlight.
• Fireworks ammo mod: Shortfuse.
• Brain Rot ammo mod: Caustic Fumes, Extension.
• Brain Rot ammo mod: Super Serum.

Emergency weapon note

TED tasks often give you Ray Gun Mark I early, so you keep it as a panic tool until you finish your full setup.

The elite problem and how you solve it

Your real danger comes from Uber Claus and the Claus cores, since they soak damage and their shock  can melt you fast in late rounds. You craft Hunterbots, then you throw the hunter drones up so they lock onto Uber Claus and cores and delete them fast. War machines burst them too, yet crafting them non-stop eats salvage, so you lean on Hunterbots and save salvage for later.

If you run out of Hunterbots, you pop Ether Shroud and you run back to the crafting table right away, since cores left alive can end the run fast.

The main spot and the loop you repeat

You train at the bottom of the temple, right in front of the pedestal, and you keep the horde in one smooth circle. When ammo mods light up, you proc them, then you swap to the LGM1 and burn zombies while the mods cool down.

Anti-gravity turns on and off during the match, so your spacing changes mid-round. When anti-gravity is on, zombies move slow and you get free space, so you keep the circle wide and calm. When it turns off, speed comes back, so you tighten the path and you keep your exits ready.

Escape reset you use

You can run up to the top of the temple and jump down to reset the train, and you also cross the map to reset when elites break the circle.

Tactical and lethal choice

Casmirs and monkey bombs can fail you here, since anti-gravity makes them bounce and delay, and they do not help versus Uber Claus and cores. You rely on Hunterbots for elites, and you keep stim shots ready for raw survival moments.

Time management so you keep the run alive

This map can take hours for deep rounds, so you plan your session like a marathon and you save and quit when fatigue starts. Save and quit bugs got fixed during the year, so you can keep one save file across the weekend without losing TED tasks.

You win Mars by looping the temple train, feeding ammo mods, and deleting elites with Hunterbots before they stack.

You win Mars Survival by building points with Akita, then stacking power from TED tasks, then locking into the temple-bottom train while you cycle ammo mods and melt the horde with LGM1. When Uber Claus shows up, you treat him like the real boss and you delete him with Hunterbots fast, then you reset the loop and keep going.
