Game Modes
Evacuation
Evacuation is one of the game modes in Evolve. It can be played both online and offline. This game mode lets you play on every map and any game type. The outcome of each encounter will impact the next map.
Hunt
The Monster needs to feed from the wildlife and evolve to stage 3. When the monster reaches this stage it’s more likely to take on the hunters. But as the monster you can also choose to destroy a map-specific objective, taking out the hunters or the objective will ensure victory.
Nest
The basic roles are the same in Nest Mode, but this time around the Hunters will also need to track down several eggs before they hatch. As the Monster, you can hatch these eggs and a stage 1 Goliath will join you in battle. If all eggs and minions have been destroyed the Hunters win, but they can also just take down the main monster.
Rescue
With Rescue, the Hunters need to find the last surviving colonist throughout the area. As these colonists are revived they need to be escorted to a launchpad for extraction.
Defend
This is the last stand, the final battle, will the hunters survive the evacuation? The hunters must protect the fueling depot that’s filling up the spaceship that’s ready for takeoff. If you play as the monster you will get a horde of minions by your side to take down the depot. It’s almost MOBA gameplay.
Hunter or Hunted
You are now ready for an epic 4v1 battle. Will you be the hunter or the hunted?
