Takedown vs Last Stand: Gunman Contracts Challenge Modes
Quick answer: Compare Takedown and Last Stand, the two Early Access challenge modes, including enemy setup, endless waves, bombs, maps and separated leaderboards.
Takedown vs Last Stand
| Mode | Objective | Pressure | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Takedown | Clear a selected enemy setup | Finite encounter, up to 30 enemies | Route efficiency and clean execution |
| Last Stand | Survive waves and disarm bombs | Endless escalation | Endurance, consistency and recovery |
Which mode should you start with?
Start with Takedown if you want to isolate a loadout or target-handling problem. Start with Last Stand if you already know your controls and want to test sustained performance under pressure.
How many maps are there?
The launch package lists five challenge maps available. The store page does not publish the final map names or a complete reward table, so this guide does not invent them.
Leaderboards
Contracts, skill games and challenges use Steam leaderboards, split between VR and non-VR. That split matters when comparing times or survival results.
