A game mode is a variation of a game's gameplay. There are three game modes throughout the continuity.
- Campaign - Seen only in Shadowgun and its expansion, the player takes the control of John Slade and performs a bunch of tasks, mowing down enemies along the way. This is the only singleplayer game mode.
- Deathmatch - Exactly what it sounds like. A free-for-all game mode where one needs to kill as many people as possible.
- Zone Control - A capture the point-esque game. There are five points, where the goal is to control them for as long as possible. Spawn tickets, new to the game mode, are used when one person spawns. There are limited spawn tickets here, so be careful.
