The Gauntlet is Rogue Core's endless-run mode. 7 levels per run, weekly seed reset, continuous spawning, kill-target gates between levels. Standard runs Depth 3 to 3.5. Advanced runs Depth 4 to 4.5. Both feed Steam achievements and per-class promotions.
The introductory Gauntlet. Continuous spawning, kill-target gates between levels, automatic elevators between rooms. Weekly seed resets, so every Reclaimer in your squad plays the same procedural layout for the week.
The endgame Gauntlet tier. Damage multipliers, enemy density, and elite spawn rate all push higher than any non-Gauntlet dive. Same 7-level pacing as Standard, but mistakes compound much faster.
Every Tuesday the procedural seed rotates -- every player sees the same level layout for that week. Resets Tuesday 00:00 UTC; this gates the weekly Steam achievement.
Unlike reclaim missions, enemies stream in continuously per level. There is no 'safe room' once a level opens; you keep pressure on or get overrun.
Every level has a fixed kill quota before the elevator unlocks. Counter ticks visibly; you can sprint enemies if you can DPS, or focus-fire elites for stagger.
Between gauntlet levels you take the elevator down -- there's no return path. Heal-up, ammo, and re-arm windows happen between levels, not mid-fight.
Standard fixed-length structure. Make it through all 7 for the weekly achievement; bail on level 4 if you're outclassed -- partial rewards still apply.
Like any dive, lock the deck before drop. Carnage / All-In / ElectroDynamicism scale well into the higher tiers; classes with control or armor tend to outperform glass kits.
