Survive The Disasters 2 (2024)

Survive The Disasters 2 (commonly abbreviated as SD2) is a game on Roblox developed by Vyriss. The Beta version was released to the public on October 1, 2014, and the full version was released in January 2017. It is the sequel to the original game, introducing many brand new mechanics to the series.

Objective

Similarly to the prequel, the goal of the game is to survive a diverse selection of Disasters, that range from natural to artificial hazards. These can be related to famous characters from games and TV shows, such as Slenderman; be a natural disaster, such as Tsunami; or be related to real life, like Bombers. The players who survive win rewards, which are in the form of Coins, EXP, Survival Streak, and Total Survivals. There are also some hidden stats that can be seen by opening the Menu.

Player Stats

• Coins: These are used to buy gears and upgrades to help the player with surviving disasters.
• Exp: These are usually awarded in the same amounts as Coins, and are used to raise a player's rank.
• Survival Streak: This stat increases as the player survives without dying. When the player dies, the counter resets. There are two types of streak mode (Normal and Pacifist.)
• Total Survivals: This stat measures how many disasters the player has survived in total.

Other hidden stats can be seen in the Menu.

Seasonal Events

On certain holidays such as Halloween or Christmas, or during notable events on Roblox, the game may be updated to celebrate (or poke fun at) it.

• April Fools 2015: On April 1, 2015, the game was updated. In this version of the game, the number of multi-disasters was changed to 4, even though the message "Triple Threat" or "Double Trouble" still appeared. The combos were often otherwise impossible in normal gameplay (for instance: Nyan Cat, Barrier Eggman, Spiked Walls, and Tsunami). The game was updated again the following day to remove this effect.
• April Fools 2016: On April 1, 2016, the game was updated. The only change was that the map vote counters grew every second. Players could still vote on maps, and gameplay was otherwise unaffected. The game was updated again the following day to remove this effect.
• John Doe Day: On March 18, 2017, the game icon was changed to be the avatar of John Doe, a test account on Roblox. The changes made in the game during that event were: The avatars in the Shop looked like John Doe,all of the music in the game were slower,the leaderboard displayed everyone as John Doe andNoobs looked like John Doe. This update was a reference to the John Doe incident on Roblox.
