CNSD Reborn How to get the Playtester badge
Wave 25 before Update #1 — the only timed badge on the Roblox page.
The Roblox page for CNSD : Reborn lists one badge that matters right now: Playtester, earned by reaching Wave 25 before Update #1. Rarity sits around 5.8% with more than 15,000 awards already, which means the run is possible and still a filter. This is not a secret quest. It is a clock. When sebe ships the first numbered update, the window closes. If you are reading this during the playtest, treat Wave 25 as the only long-term goal that can expire.
The embedded video is original Combat Noobs Siege Defense footage of a brutal badge plus boss fight. It is here because Reborn has not published a Wave 25 tutorial yet, and the old game’s lesson still holds: endurance badges are lost to greed, not to a missing secret door. Use it as tone, then apply the Reborn binds from the controls guide.
What the badge is not
It is not a titan unlock. It is not a code. It is not a private-server command. You must play in a live 15-player siege and survive until the wave counter hits 25. Leaving the server at 24 to “save progress” will not help unless sebe added a checkpoint that has not been documented. Assume you need a clean push. If your lobby is a circus of unshifted lock Dummy mains on Wave 6, server hop. Fifteen players is small; one competent Heavy and one Rocket Dummy beat eight tourists.
Loadout for a serious attempt
- A dummy that is not default punch-bag. Heavy or Rocket Dummy if they are in the shop. Jetpack if your lobby needs a rotator. See starter rankings.
- Starter pack intact: sword, laser gun, Bloxy Cola. Cola is a panic heal. Drink it at 20% health on a late wave, not after a lobby emote.
- Skill-tree points in survivability. The skill tree leak is your friend: extra HP beats a 2% damage node you will never cash if you die on 18.
- Awaken saved for overflow packs, not for highlight clips. How to Awaken is required reading.
Skip titan shopping if it empties the wallet you need for a mid-run rerespawn. Titans help, but a broke titan who cannot afford cola is still a corpse. The titan tier list is for after you own the badge or after you already have the coins.
Wave bands
Waves 1–8. Learn the lane. Count M1s. Do not Awaken. Let coins stack. If someone is already dead twice, they will not be there at 25; stop covering their mistakes with your cola.
Waves 9–16. Named or bulkier noobs start to appear in leaks (Diabolical Noob, strong guy, second-boss footage). This is where block timing matters. Pair with a teammate: one holds, one splash-clears. If your team has no splash, buy Rocket Dummy or Laser Cannon if the shop allows.
Waves 17–24. This is the wipe zone. People get bored, sprint, and donate their dummy to a grab. Call the choke in chat. Play around Awaken windows. If a titan is on your team, do not stand in their slam. Friendly ragdolls are still ragdolls.
Wave 25. Survive the spawn. The badge is reach, not a separate boss unless sebe added one. Do not emote until the toast appears. Then screenshot it, because Update #1 will make the brag retro.
Wipe recovery
Deaths happen. Respawn, grab the starter pack again, and return to a lane that is not already lost. If the whole lobby is down, it is faster to requeue than to wait for a doomed 22. Keep an eye on the roadmap so you know whether Update #1 is rumored this week. A badge you can finish tonight is worth more than a “perfect” titan grind that finishes after the patch.
Codes will not replace this run. If a coin code drops, redeem it on how to redeem and immediately buy survival, not a cosmetic spray. Scripts that auto-farm waves are how you lose the account instead of gaining a badge; read script safety.
Playtester is a time-limited flex. Treat it that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers players ask during the playtest.
Does Wave 25 need to be done in one sitting?
Assume yes until a checkpoint is documented. Do not leave at 24 hoping progress saved.
Can I get Playtester after Update #1?
The badge text says before Update #1. After that patch, the award window is expected to close.
Do I need a titan?
No. A disciplined starter class in a competent 15-player lobby is enough. Titans are a luxury, not a requirement.
Why embed original-game badge footage?
Reborn has no dedicated Wave 25 video yet. The old endurance-badge lesson still applies: greed wipes more runs than missing DPS.
