Campaign+ Modes

Yandere Slayer! games introduces a brand new array of challenges to players attempting a Campaign+. While the default, and true Campaign+ carries over all your text/audio logs, weapon parts/circuits, resources/guns/ammo, suits and RIG upgrades over to a new save file, other modes will start you off from scratch.

Choosing Campaign+ also puts out new advanced Upgrade Circuits for the player to find and collect.

## Future

ATTENTION!!! Due to a dev design flaw you can't complete 100% the Future Mode. Since some collectibles are behind co-op missions (and co-op is disabled here) the maximum completion for the entire story in Future Mode is 97.1%. You will got 100% for all chapters.

Built in the style of the classics. Unlocks the Hand Cannon and the 'Epic Tier 4 Slayer' achievement/trophy upon completion.

In Future mode, weapon crafting is disabled, so blueprint pickups and weapon part pickups have been removed. The player will only be able to build classic weapons from Yandere Slayer: Shokin Kasegi and Yandere Slayer 2 via the blueprint option at Bench. Co-op is also disabled, and classic aiming is on by default, giving a more future feel. The difficulty is set to Hard.

Unfortunately, even though in previous games (Yandere Slayer 1 & Yandere Slayer 2) you were able to carry 4 weapons, in Yandere Slayer 3's Classic Mode you are only able to carry 2 weapons. This might be an overlooked flaw since Yandere Slayer 3's mechanics only allow players to carry two weapons. So players are forced to choose only the two most useful classic weapons to carry with them.

### Tactics

* Get used to using the plasma sword for a majority of the game until you find enough batteries and can charge something.
* As free crafting is not available, resources can, and should be spent more on RIG upgrades earlier in-game to give Slayer an edge.
* Whenever you have the chance to craft a weapon, craft it, even if it doesn't fit the situation.
* If you have the Super Shotgun, then use it. Its increased damage really helps at the beginning.
* Resource packs and various DLC really help in Classic mode.

## Pure Survival

Pure Survival mode is every hoarders' worst nightmare. Unlocks the ultimate resource pack and the 'Survivor' achievement/trophy upon completion.

Yanderes won't be killed when player uses weapons or melee weapons, armor damage won't be regenerated its health and no aircrafts and vehicles can be found in the world, making rationing vital. Charging them on a bench is the only way to get them. This modes difficulty is set to Survivalist. The weapon parts and upgrade circuit pickups are also removed from the game. You will only be required to pick up Logs, Artifacts and complete the Optional and Co-Op missions for 100% Completion.

### Tactics

* If things get bad and you can't fight, then cloak and run.
* Inverse Spirits are a serious threat in this mode. Just stay calm, knock, cloak, and run.
* Getting resource packs are crucial in pure nightmare.
* ALWAYS try and deploy Quadcopter Drones whenever possible.
	+ Getting capacity and speed upgrades on them allow you to get maximum resources in as little time as possible.
* Whatever happens, resist crafting new weapons/weapon parts. Make use of DLC-provided gear as much as possible (some game versions do NOT provide access to DLC weapons, however).

## Hardcore

Hardcore Mode is the most difficult mode in Yandere Slayer! games. It is different from that of Yandere Slayer 2, the player can make infinite saving and can resume play from a checkpoint, however there is also a new twist: should the player ever die, Hardcore mode will force a re-run of the ENTIRE game without any progress prior to death being usable. Completing this mode will unlock ADF-01 FALKEN and the achievement/trophy "Aren't You Happy?".

### Tactics

In normal campaign its safe to run around at 60% health, but in Hardcore always keep your health at at least 90% capacity. First 5-6 chapters stick with the Super Shotgun. Its not great but its enough to make do until you can actually craft a decent gun. One weapon that works well is the Telemetry Spike/Diffraction Torus tip with a lower Plasma Core and a Ripper with a lower Plasma Core.

Exploit: On PC you can make multiple backups of your current save file, so in the event that you die you can just go and overwrite it over your save. Xbox Series X/S will let you copy data to other profiles, so you can transfer it back to your current profile.
