A new multiplayer mode included with patch 1.8, the Last Stand mode challenges groups of three players to survive for as long as possible against a series of 20 enemy waves of increasing difficulty. Each player controls a single character (an [[Eldar]] [[Farseer]], an [[Ork]] [[Mekboy]], or a [[Space Marine]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]) each which can be equipped with a range of wargear, and will level up based on waves completed. Levels are cumulative, and persist across different Last Stand rounds with different players, although each specific type of character levels up individually. As a character gains levels it obtains new wargear, which the user can equip to customize traits and abilities.<sup>1</sup>
Wave 20 is notable for featuring the forces of [[Chaos]] and [[Chaos Space Marines]], as which was a teaser for the upcoming expansion to the gameChaos Rising (see below).<sup>2</sup>
