There are two game modes in Ruin Mode - Challenge and Free Play
Challenge Mode
During Ruin Mode, you earn points by causing destruction to man-made structures and objects. Different targets award different amounts of points - so make sure to try and find the most valuable to maximise point gain. If you earn points continuously you will increase your bonus modifier, allowing higher point rewards for simultaneous damage.
You start off with a timer of 1 minute. Should you beat the minimum score designated to the level, you will gain a 15 second time.
Only a select few weapons are useable in Ruin Mode. As such the weapons loadout page is significantly smaller than the single player campaign.
Free Play
During Free play there is no time limit or score, you can destroy as much as you want in the sandbox environment for as long as you want. Additionally you also have access to the LEO Exo Suit to damage buildings, as well as gaining an additional four weapons to play with on top of the weapons allowed in Challenge Mode. (Note; Three of these weapons are part of the DLC/Pre purchase bundles.)
