A level with this survival difficulty is regarded as mostly safe, with a few threats present. These threats are usually mild environmental hazards. Similar to Class 1, one should expect a relatively easy journey when traveling through levels with this difficulty.

» Moderate Entity Count

Levels at this difficulty and higher begin to be genuinely dangerous for one to travel in. The term "Unsecure" is applied, meaning that a level is less well-mapped than others, has less information known about its overall layout, and that reality may be warped or altered within. One can expect multiple threats in a level with this difficulty, as there are various entities and/or hazards present. Proper supplies are always necessary in levels marked Class 3 and higher.

Non-Standard Survival Difficulties[]

» Mysterious Properties

» Unknown Information

» Undocumented Entities

This survival difficulty is meant for levels that have not been explored enough to attain the necessary information required to document them. These levels are usually very mysterious, with most information regarding them being unknown or undetermined. It is recommended to err on the side of caution by avoiding these levels, as unknown hazards may be present and unaccounted for.

Code in the Source Editor: {{Class Undetermined}}

» Varying Safety

» Heavily Unstable

» Diverse Entity Count

This survival difficulty is meant for levels with multiple areas of differing safety, with some being notably dangerous, and others being safer. One singular survival difficulty would not work to define a level of this nature, so a class of "Variable" is necessary.

Code in the Source Editor: {{Class Variable}}

» Safe

» Sustained Communities

» Devoid of Harmful Entities

This survival difficulty is meant for levels that are considerably safe and stable. Habitable levels are free from environmental hazards and hostile entities, and typically possess ample resources to support long-term habitation.

Code in the Source Editor: {{Class Habitable}}

» Numerous Hazards

» Strictly Uninhabitable

» Presence of Lethal Entities

Levels with this difficulty pose the ultimate threat in the Backrooms. One should not even consider exploring these levels, as whatever possibilities lay in them are certainly not worth the excessive risks to one's survival. Even with the proper equipment, one may only survive based on sheer luck, as countless entities and hazards are present. Avoid these levels at all costs.

Code in the Source Editor: {{Class Deadzone}}

» Unsafe

» Unsecure

» Mental Hazard

Levels with this difficulty pose severe mental hazards that may significantly reduce one's sanity in a very short time. These levels should be avoided since it is highly unlikely that one can get out of them until it is too late. Almond Water should be used to increase survival rate.
