Template:Map infobox pl_goldrush is a Payload mode attack/defend map, and was the first map included in TF2 to feature this mode, as well as the third non-release map added to the game.

On Goldrush, BLU team attempts to "push" a bomb cart along a winding track to explode cache of volatile barrels at the end, while RED attempts to kill or stall BLU before they can accomplish this. The map is split into three connected stages, with intermediate checkpoints in each stage.

Each checkpoint the cart passes over adds 5 minutes to the 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.

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 unfavoured with the TF2 competitive community.
