The Bite Sized Mode is a gamemode in Dead Rails.

Overview

Bite Sized Mode is a special gamemode where the entire map length is compressed into half the length (40km instead of 80km). Fortified Towns spawn at half the normal amount (instead of spawning every 5km to match the halved map length, they spawn every 10km). 2 Towns will spawn in each of the first 20km (for a total of 4), then no longer spawn for the rest of the game. Apocalypse Horses will spawn at their original distances, making only the first two obtainable. Except for Castle (which is guaranteed at 18km), all POIs will always spawn at their predetermined location (9-75km) so there's a high chance you won't be able to encounter them. (NOTE: This claim requires verification)

Unlike the Edison's Revenge gamemode, the final battle still lasts for the same duration, at 4 minutes (like other gamemodes) instead of 2.

Winning in Bite Sized Mode rewards the player 5 , extra 15 for first completion, and extra 15 for completing the mode under 20 minutes, potentially resulting in a 35 total.

Strategies

⚠️ Attention, Survivors! ⚠️

This page/section contains strategies, which are all merely suggestions by the community for better gameplay. Anything mentioned here is recommended, but not mandatory. Feel free to add your own strategies by editing this page!

• The mode is useful when trying to earn as many wins as possible in a short time due to its short length. Use the Conductor class and Wooden Train to save fuel and reach the end the fastest.
• When attempting the "Fast Track" challenge, it is recommended you arrive at the Outlaw's Town in under 16 minutes as the bridge will take 4 minutes to fully lower and end the game and the challenge requires you to beat the gamemode in 20 minutes or under.. You can use Conductor class and Wooden Train to improve your speed. Next, buy 5 Coals and 2 Snake Oils at the Lobby. And use 2 Coals of Conductor, so you can get to the Outlaw's Town in about 12 minutes. Use 2 Snake Oils and lower the bridge. Find a safe place and wait. (3 Coals and 2 Snake Oil cost a total of 10 , so you can have a return of 10 and 3 )
• In this gamemode, there are only 4 Towns appearing in the first 20km, so you should choose a class with good attack abilities such as Survivalist or Vampire to have an early and long-term source of income.
• After 20km, you will only be able to encounter POIs. Therefore, if all the POIs with high-value items have appeared before, you will no longer have a stable source of income.
• Since the Death Horse will spawn within 30km-40km of a group of Werewolves, it will likely spawn near Outlaw's Town. This will make clearing Outlaw's Town much longer and harder. However, you can still use 3 Snake Oils and quickly run inside and lower the bridge. Then find a safe place to survival.

Trivia

• The Bite Sized Mode is most likely going to be the only permanent short length mode in the game. Since there's a gamemode for that purpose, the others and future gamemodes (other than events possibly) are still going to use the default 80km length.
• The Bangers font (available in Roblox studio by default) is used for the mode's logo.
• The mode's name is spelled "Bite-Sized" on the update notes and the Challenge Board, but "Bite Sized" on the logo and the weekly leaderboard.
• The Edison's Revenge gamemode was likely a way of developers gathering player feedback on a shorter mode before releasing this mode to the public.
