Battle mode is a mode where players may engage in PvP gameplay against each other according to different sets of predetermined rules. Battle mode must be selected during party creation at the Visual Lobby counter, with battle rulesets being chosen at the Hunter's Guild.
At the start of each Battle round, the rules set by the party leader will be displayed, and each player will spawn in at one of four starting locations. Players then compete to defeat their opponents as many times as possible within the time limit. Depending on the rules, certain weapons, frames, barriers, Tools, Mags, and even Techniques may be unusable. A character is defeated when their HP reaches 0, and the defeated character will then respawn at a random location on the map. The round is over when time expires.

- Returning to Pioneer 2 is not possible;
- Any player's death (without a
Scape Doll in the inventory) will cause all players to fail.
Challenge mode must be selected during party creation at the Visual Lobby counter, with individual stages being initiated from the Hunter's Guild.
