Many Builds cannot reach this stage, and the strongest builds will fail during the next 10-20 waves. Being a Melee Build is very difficult at this point.

	~~Unless you're doing a~~ HP ~~Scaling build. Then it is possible to go much further~~.		Most Characters can reach Wave 50-60 or around that range using an economic build (thief daggers, harvesting spam) into something like chain gun, sniper gun, or HP Build.

	As for weapons, you can use {{MiniIconbox\|name=Pruner}} for extra Consumables. Or you can go {{MiniIconbox\|name=Potato Thrower}} for extra ranged damage.

			In Order to not lose any [[Loot Crate]] drops, you need about 10 Luck per Wave (See [[Endless Mode]] for the calculations). It is okay to have a little less than this, but falling too far behind will cause you to lose Crates.

	~~In earlier Patches, when you locked~~ Items in the Shop~~, those items could not be found~~ in ~~crates~~. So you ~~could manipulate~~ the item pool ~~this way~~. ~~With~~ the ~~1.0.1.3 Patch, this was changed~~.		Unique Items Locked in the Shop cannot show up in Crates during the wave. So it is useful to lock unique items. This way you can actually slim down the item pool by 4 more items. The strongest locks are Tier 2 and 3 items. Since most of the items you're looking for like Vigilante Ring or Garden are these tiers.
