New Gameplay Mechanic: Gem Mining
Gems aren’t just rewards anymore. Now they’re part of the action.
Across select maps, you may notice Gem Veins appearing in certain areas of the course. These shiny deposits can be mined during a match, giving you the chance to collect extra Gems while you compete.
But there’s a catch. Mining takes time, and the rest of the lobby isn’t going to wait for you.
Do you stop to grab the loot… or keep running for the finish line?
Strategic players might take a risk and mine early, while others may try to knock competitors away and steal the Gems. Either way, expect some chaotic moments when multiple stumblers spot the same vein.
Keep your balance. Protect your spot. Grab the Gems before someone else does.
⛏️New Ability: Pickaxe
To help you crack open those Gem Veins, we’re introducing a brand new ability.
The Pickaxe lets you mine Gem deposits during matches. Activate it near a Gem Vein to start mining and break it open.
Timing matters though. Using the Pickaxe at the wrong moment could leave you wide open to a well timed punch.
Ability Highlights
- Allows you to mine Gem Veins during matches
- Faster mining speed the higher you level it up
- Can be used tactically to secure Gems before other players
- Risk versus reward gameplay during races
Whether you’re playing aggressively or sneaking in a quick mine while others fight, the Pickaxe opens up new ways to approach every round.
⚡ Strategic Chaos
With Gem Mining added to the mix, matches can now play out in completely new ways.
Some players will sprint straight to the finish like always. Others might take a risky detour for extra rewards. And of course, some will try to knock everyone off the mining spot just for the chaos.
However you play it, keep your eyes open. That glowing rock might just be worth the risk.
