Enabling Hardcore Mode on an ICARUS server significantly increases difficulty by imposing permanent penalties for death, such as requiring immediate rescue or the complete deletion of the prospect upon the team's total failure. This setting forces players to adopt cautious survival tactics, manage resources carefully, and coordinate closely with team members to stay alive. Ultimately, it caters to experienced players seeking an intense, high-stakes challenge in which every decision carries a genuine risk to the session's progress.
