Leaderboards
Just as Gold Rush TV Series mine bosses you can now compare your gold totals with other players in Leaderboards!
Start playing in new Leaderboards mode and earn your place in rankings.
Good to know:
- Balance values are drawn from the New Normal Mode.
- Player's score shows the total amount of gold dug and real-life playing time spent to achieve it.
- Score sums the amount of gold dug in consecutive in-game seasons.
- Leaderboards will be reset from time to time, but the history of previous seasons will remain (top players + player's score).
- You can get a special reward (vehicle skin) for being one of the top players in Leaderboards.
- Save files from non-active (reset) Leaderboards will become Normal Mode saves and you will be able to continue playing on that save file.
- It's not possible to share save file from active Leaderboards.
