Similar to Survival Mode, but the player does not need to maintain their food or water levels. The player can "secure" their inventory by entering Lifepod 5, a Seabase, or a Cyclops or Seatruck if the player dies with a secured inventory, they will keep all the items from the last time their inventory was secured along with 1 additional random item that was added to their inventory after being secured, and will respawn in the last place they secured their inventory. The Player can return to where they died to attempt to reclaim their lost items. If the player runs out of either food or water, they will gradually lose health until they die.

If the player runs out of health or oxygen, they die and lose some of the items in their inventory. To stay alive, the player must manage their health, oxygen, food, and water levels.
