How difficulty is measured

A coefficient is not a vote. It is read off what players actually reach: the rounds the field holds on a First Room, how far the very best get, and how quickly the pack falls away. A map where almost nobody passes round 25 scores high; one where half the field clears round 50 scores low.

It is the same number that weighs a run when we hand out ranking points, so a map cannot be called hard here and count as easy there. As it stands, Verrückt - QR is the cruellest room on the site, and the best anyone has held it is round 39.

Solo and two players are rated apart, because they are not the same fight. A second player brings a second gun, a revive and a share of the horde — but also twice the zombies. On Verrückt Juggside that trade is worth a lot, which is why its solo coefficient sits far above its co-op one. On Shadows of Evil the two barely differ.

Nothing on this page is written by hand. A new world record, a wave of entries on a quiet map, and the coefficients shift at the next export — so does this ranking. You are reading the state of the leaderboards today, not an opinion frozen years ago.
