The bomb cart will slowly roll backwards if not pushed for long enough, but if pushed over a checkpoint in the track, it cannot roll backward any further. Each checkpoint the cart passes over adds 5 minutes to the map timer. The remaining time carries over to the following sections of the maps until teams are switched. Each stage starts with a 1:05 setup time.

Gold Rush is a Payload map and the first map included in Team Fortress 2 to feature this mode, as well as the third non-release map added to the game. It is broken into three stages.

Balancing and gameplay issues such as narrow, easily sticky-trapped corridors restricting play, very long sight lines for Snipers to spot and shoot people, and a lack of alternate exit doors on spawn rooms making spawncamping easy currently makes Goldrush unfavourable with the TF2 competitive community.
