- New Group Ironman mode allows 2-5 players to go on an adventure together
- Resources all shared and gameplay heavily relies on collaboration between teammates
- Regular mode for casuals and Competitive mode for the more serious players
Jagex has just released an exciting new update for RuneScape, bringing a brand new game mode to the iconic MMORPG. Say hello to Group Ironman, which was first revealed in the roadmap outlining the second half of 2024. Its goal is to add a fresh new twist to all the classic RuneScape adventures so you can enjoy them once again in a more collaborative way.
RuneScape’s new Group Ironman mode allows groups of two to five players to explore the world of Gielinor as a team, relying on each other to tackle quests, overcome bosses, and gather resources. All this must be done while working within the restrictions of a closed economy with no access to the Grand Exchange or outside trades.
This mode is structured around building self-sufficient groups where teamwork takes centre stage. Each player in the group contributes through a variety of skills, from crafting and resource gathering to specialised combat roles. Collaboration is key as you must all share resources from a common pool, which will require a lot of strategic planning.
The Regular Group Ironman mode allows you to battle foes, complete achievements, and trade items among your team, making each accomplishment a shared victory. If you’re looking for something more intense, then the Competitive Group Ironman mode raises the stakes even higher. All outside assistance is prohibited, forcing you to exclusively rely on your group to succeed.
