There are different levels of difficulty in Frostpunk 2, and as evident, the higher it gets, the worse the consequence of every mistake you make. Naturally, whether you're a first-timer tuning into a Frostpunk game, or a returning veteran, we urge that you do not overestimate your control and expertise of the game.

That said, here's a list of the playable difficulties in the 11 Bit Studios' latest survival city-builder:

Citizen

This is the beginner level of difficulty in the game. Here, though the gameplay will be challenging, you have room to make errors and eventually correct them throughout the process of building your city.

Officer

This level is quite challenging. You will need to stay focused and tuned to the developments within your city. You have a slight margin for error, but too many mistakes will lead to the downfall of your entire empire.

Steward

If you are up for a challenge and have experience playing Frostpunk, this level of difficulty will be ideal for you. Playing in 'Steward' difficulty requires extreme focus, meticulous planning, and great control over the dispersal and use of resources within New London. Each metric needs to be monitored for effectively running the city.

Captain

This is the hardest difficulty in the game. It is extremely challenging and there is simply no room for error. Each mistake you make will have severe consequences. Your entire city needs to be under your watch at all times, and like before, the metrics of all your resources, Citizens, growth, and other factors will have to be under constant supervision. It is not for the faint of heart.
