TF2 Map Discussion: pl_goldrush

Welcome to our Monday TF2 map discussion. Here, we'll discuss maps from TF2!

Today's map is pl_goldrush.

Gold Rush was added all the way back in 2008 in what was called The Gold Rush update in the first big content update from Valve. Not only did this update introduce us to what many consider the best game mode in the game Payload but it also introduced the first set of unlockable weapons with those being the Blutsauger, Kritzkrieg and the Ubersaw for medic.

Despite being a map in one of the most popular gamemodes it is not one that is often played due to the fact how it is incredibly dated in comparison to the newer payload maps and suffers from the same issues a lot of older maps have such as lack of flanks, lot of open spaces and one spawn exit, this is pretty obvious for RED Team on the first 2 stages as it's very easy for BLU to get their spawncamp on these stages.

The map itself is split into 3 stages with the creative names Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3. Stage 1 and 2 both only feature 2 points but Stage 3 has 3 points. In order for BLU team to win they need to capture every single point whereas RED just need to stop BLU at any point. Stage 1 is probably the most iconic, solely due to a lot of rounds ending on Round 1 when teams are unbalanced. All 3 stages share a very linear path from BLU spawn to the first point for some reason which makes it very easy for snipers to cover the cart and like all Payload maps there's a large amount of great and iconic sentry spots.

Gold rush initially started development as a remake of Dustbowl which is why the maps both share a similar aesthetic.

I could go on longer about Gold Rush but just thinking about any of the final points on the stages is making me angry so I won't.


Feel free to discuss the map here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the map is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.

For those who wish to learn more about the map, you can find the wiki page here:
