Hardcore Mode is a GameMode in Zombie Panic: Source and was introduced in Version 1.6 of the mod. Hardcore mode can be played on any and all maps by entering into the console the command "sv_hardcore_alwayson 1" to enable it it and keep it enabled, or alternatively one could enter "sv_hardcore 1" to enable and "sv_hardcore 0" to disable as they please. 

Major changes in Hardcore:

• The survivors goal is to stay alive for 5 minutes.
• Increased infection: the Carrier Zombie's infection chance has been increased from 10% to 35%, resulting in a much greater likelihood of being infected as a human, even from just one scratch. Regular zombies now have a chance to infect the survivors as well.
• The number of starting zombies has been increased significantly.
• Survivors who succumb to infection become Carriers themselves.
• Zombies' health regenerates faster.
• Zombies take half the normal damage from firearms.

Trivia

• Interestingly enough, damage taken from melee weapons as a zombie is still the same as non-hardcore game modes.
