COP BASTARD Endless Mode: Leaderboards, Score and Deaths
After the story ends, the score chasing begins.
COP BASTARD Endless Mode is the game's arcade afterlife. Once the roughly six-hour campaign is over, Endless Mode drops you into repeatable combat runs where Steam leaderboards track two numbers: your score and your deaths. Chasing a clean run with a low death count is the real endgame.
How Endless Mode works
Endless Mode extends the campaign's combat loop into a score-attack format. You keep moving, keep bending time and keep diving, and the game measures how far that discipline carries you. The leaderboard design is unusually honest: deaths are tracked alongside score, so a reckless high-score run is permanently labeled as such.
Why it suits this game
The no-upgrades design makes Endless Mode a pure skill check. There are no loadout levers to pull, so leaderboard entries reflect movement quality, slow-motion timing and route knowledge. Players coming from classic arcade shooters will recognize the structure immediately.
Climbing the leaderboard
- Master the campaign first. Encounter patterns carry over.
- Count your dives, not your kills. Survival keeps the score climbing.
- Use slow motion as a habit, not a panic button.
- Accept deaths as data. The leaderboard shows them anyway, so treat each one as a routing lesson.
