Unstable Rifts isn’t another extraction mission. Instead, it consists of five waves of zombies in a small arena. The zombies are the strong type from the Elder Aether Rifts and players have 45 minutes to complete the challenge. 

Each wave is more relentless than the previous one, with elite zombies thrown the players’ way in this new mode. However, the dazzling red lightning of the Mark of the Survivor camo is well worth this mission.

When players realized what the reward was, everyone started asking questions about how difficult it was and whether it could be done solo.

Another player said he is going to grind until he gets the reward. Furthermore, one fan added in the comments that the camo is awesome and probably the best reward for zombie mode. 

While many are thrilled, some aren’t so happy with both the camo and even the mode itself saying that it is getting old and should continue with new entries.
