**Badass Mode** is a difficulty in the game. The Badass Travel will allow the player to switch between levels of difficulty.

## How to unlock

After unlocking every other Living Room extension, the player must reach 3-6 and then interact with the Magic Stone.

The Badass Travel will then spawn in the Living Room, offering the player to switch between Normal and Badass Mode for the next run.

## Statistics

* A purple monster icon  will appear to the right of the status bars, similar to the icon shown in the minimap indicating a boss room.
* Enemies will spawn and attack more frequently.
	+ Champions spawn rate will increase.
	+ All bosses will always be champions, which means that they will have bonus health.
* Players take 1 extra damage from all sources, including enemy attacks, status effects and environmental damages.
	+ Pets and followers also take increased damage.
	+ This is overridden by the challenge condition Better defense, but shield does not regenerate, as all damage is still reduced to 1 for armor. Again, pets and followers take the usual damage as they don't have armor.
* Armor mounts will have 1 extra defense. Monster mounts also have 2 extra health.
* Enemy projectile velocity greatly increased.

## Tips

* The player will need all possible methods to survive, especially when entering a room crowded with enemies near the door.
	+ Any buff that negates a damaging status effect is useful as otherwise they will inflict effectively double damage.
	+ Choosing a weapon buff in early stages is not recommended, since it is likely the player will pick up different weapons later on.
* Gold and Energy are not a big problem, since enemies (especially Champions) will drop more. Thus, the Sale Buff and Energy Orb Buff aren't as recommended.
* If the player worries that they would die early, using the Gashapon Machine in the Living Room or watching TV in the Workshop to get a good weapon can help them.
	+ The player may also forge weapons in the Workshop and get extra support in the Garden.
* Unless the player is confident of their "bullet hell" reading and dodging skills, a full defensive passive build is recommended.
	+ This includes statues like the Statue of the Knight and Paladin, and a fast melee (Meat, Nunchaku, etc.).
* Playing with a fixed D-Pad can be useful since it allows perfect movement.
* Getting Milk means everything will deal the usual amount of damage.

## Trivia

* Before Update 2.0.6, the Badass Mode icon  was thinner and plain.
* During Update 2.0.6, the Badass icon  was bigger.
* In Update 2.7.0, the travel desk was changed to include the Season Travel as well.
* "Game Complete" certificates in Badass Mode have golden ornaments around them instead of silver in Normal Mode. The golden ornaments will not be overridden by Normal Mode runs.
* When the "Game Complete" certificate was in the old pattern, a badass clear would be recorded as silver ornament around the Magic Stone in the center.
* The Badass Girl, the character behind Badass Travel's table can also be found in the Secret Signal Room, and will wear different clothes during seasonal updates.
