Here’s the Mode Ladder quest in TDS: it’s a weekly quest with three separate objectives , and each one asks you to win a randomly selected gamemode ; you can complete them in any order and the wins can be from any mode that counts for the quest.

How to finish it

  1. Queue into the required gamemode when it appears for that objective.
  2. Win the match on the map normally.
  3. Repeat until all three objectives are completed.

What to know

  • The quest does not require the objectives to be done in a specific order.
  • “Gamemode” in TDS refers to the mode selected at the start of the match or assigned by certain elevators/maps.
  • Community posts suggest some mode-related unlocks or drops can feel random, so if a mode is not showing up the way you expect, it may be tied to how the quest/mode access is rolled.

Practical tip

If you want the easiest path, use a strong all-purpose loadout and target the simplest eligible mode first, then move up to the harder ones only if the quest asks for them. A recent guide-style video also shows players clearing every TDS mode, including Hardcore, which can help if your objective rolls something tougher.

For quick reference

Point| What it means
---|---
Quest type| Weekly quest 4
Total objectives| 3 4
Progress order| Any order 4
Task style| Win the listed/random gamemode 4

TL;DR: Complete the three quest objectives by winning the required gamemodes one by one; order does not matter, and the quest is weekly.
