What the base word does
Typing earthquake triggers a brief disaster that rips the ground open beneath players. The splitting ground destabilizes buildings and turns open terrain into a drop hazard. Because the fissure opens quickly, opponents caught near structures or edges often take sudden hits or tumble into voids. You can use it defensively to cut off pursuing players or offensively to collapse structures where other survivors cluster.
The three challenges
This challenge list comes from a community record and is not in-game verified by this site. You must complete the following three goals using your own earthquake activations:
| # | Challenge |
|---|---|
| 1 | Knock down 26 buildings |
| 2 | Survive 4 falling buildings |
| 3 | Survive 4 quakes at 6 alive |
How to complete each one
Knocking down 26 buildings accumulates across matches whenever your quake fissure tears through foundations. Type earthquake while standing in dense clusters of structures so the tear destabilizes multiple walls at once.
Surviving 4 falling buildings requires you to stay alive right next to collapsing structures. Trigger your word near a building, then step just clear of the falling geometry as it topples so the match registers the survival check without crushing your character.
Surviving 4 quakes at 6 alive asks you to hold your word until the living player count drops to six or fewer. Once the lobby thins out, trigger the quake and maneuver carefully along solid terrain until the disaster concludes.
Mastered Earthquake
Finishing all three challenges unlocks Mastered Earthquake. Instead of a fixed fracture line, you draw the crack's path directly across the surface. Glowing lava fills the resulting fissure, and severed island chunks fall away entirely into the void.
When to run this track
Run this track on maps packed with upright buildings and narrow choke points. It works well if you play patiently and regularly reach the final six survivors. Avoid selecting this track on wide, flat maps lacking vertical structures, since you will struggle to register falling buildings.
