”Each of Exterminatus Mode’s scenarios, ‘Assault on Hab Center Andreas’ and ‘Escape From Kalkys Facility’ feature global leader boards, encouraging you to take the risk on dynamic in-game challenges that pop up during play. For example, “Kill 10 Orks in 10 seconds”. With extra lives and points up for grabs if you complete a challenge.”
