Survival: every meter you miss costs health
Survival turns distance into damage. You start with 6,000 health, and each round costs about 1 HP per meter of error. Play solo Endurance to see how long you last, or Knockout against up to 7 rivals. It suits steady players who rarely have a disastrous round in this GTA V map guessing game.

How Survival works
Each round gives you 45 seconds with walking, looking and zoom. Damage equals your error in meters, rounded up, and is capped at 2,000 per round. A missing answer takes the full 2,000. A pin 350 m away costs 350 health, while a pin on the wrong side of the map costs the same 2,000 as any other very bad miss.
Solo Endurance deals rounds until your health runs out or you choose to stop. Between rounds you can press Finish run to bank your progress; abandoning the game does not bank it. Knockout is for 2–8 players and ends with one survivor or after 20 rounds.
How Survival is ranked
Endurance runs are ranked by rounds survived, then remaining health, then accuracy error and active guessing time. A run needs at least one successful round to count. The official preset uses 6,000 health and a 2,000 cap with all regions; Custom games can change both numbers but do not rank.
Knockout compares elimination rounds first, so outlasting everyone matters most. Players eliminated in the same round are separated by their average error. If several players reach the 20-round cap, remaining health and then accuracy decide the order, and exact ties stay ties.
Endurance, Knockout and the public queue
Endurance is solo. Knockout is played by invite for 2–8 players or through the public queue. The queue offers a match at once when 8 players are available, or when the oldest ticket has waited 30 seconds with at least 2 players available. Offers last 15 seconds, and the match starts with at least 2 acceptances.
Public Knockout uses fixed rules and all 3 regions, and there is no public rating. You cannot wait in the Duel and Survival queues at the same time. If your connection drops, you have 60 seconds to return while the round clocks keep running.
Survival tips
Play for consistency, not perfection. Trimming a 600 m miss to 300 m saves exactly 300 HP, while one 2,000 HP disaster erases several decent rounds.
Always answer. A missing answer is automatically the maximum 2,000 damage, and even a rough pin in the right region usually costs less.
Bank when the risk grows. In Endurance, pressing Finish run between rounds protects your rounds survived; simply leaving the game does not.
Walk to a road in the wilderness. Forest and scrub around Mount Chiliad, Raton Canyon and the Grand Senora Desert look alike, and that is where the big misses happen.
