Unfortunately, to start out this post I have some bad news for Mine Wars fans. After evaluating the resources we have available we decided to delay the Mine Wars 2.0 update. For the time being, we feel it would be more beneficial for the server to focus on consistent updates to TMD and Hell Night.
TMD Seasonal Contests
We are excited to announce the addition of Seasons to The Mining Dead! During each Season, players will compete on The Mining Dead Servers to build up there score and rank near the top to earn awesome prizes! Each Season will last approximately 3 Months. The Seasons update will be released on
August 17th.
Scoring
Throughout each Season players will build up there score by killing players, killing zombies, and completing Daily Challenges. The exact values for each of these is listed below.
- Killing a Player: 100 Score
- Each piece of Leather Armor being worn by the killed player will add 25 Score
- Each piece of Military Armor being worn by the killed player will add 50 Score
- Each piece of Riot Gear Armor being worn by the killed player will add 75 Score
- Each piece of Juggernaut Armor being worn by the killed player will add 100 Score
- Killing a Zombie: 10 Score
- Completing a Daily Challenge: 1,000 Score

Other Mining Dead Updates
Along with the addition of seasons, there will be a few other changes made to The Mining Dead.
- Moving While Healing - beginning with this update players will be able to use healing items while moving.
- Stacked Weapons - Legendary Guns & Melees will no longer be able to be stacked.
- Removed Items - Coal, Nets, Leads, and Backpacks will be removed from shops and loot bags.
- Legendary Guns - Legendary Guns will now drop on death.
- TMD-1 & TMD-2 will be combined into TMDPVP-1.
- TMD-3 & TMD-4 will be combined into TMDPVE-1.
The Mining Dead Reset
Along with this update, we will be doing a reset to The Mining Dead. This reset will include Gear, Money, and Stats.
All players will be allowed to save all the items in their basic Standard Vaults. To players who have ranks, keep in mind this will only be the first three rows of your Stand Vaults. When the reset occurs, nothing in the first three rows of the Standard Vaults will reset except for the following:
- Coal, Nets, Leads and Backpacks will removed from Standard Vaults
- Stacked Legendary Guns and Melee Weapons will be converted into singular versions of the items.
Also, any TMD Crates purchased from July 24th to the day of the update will be given to players again after the reset. Remember, this update will occur on
August 17th.
Bi-Weekly Updates
After the release of The Mining Dead Seasons update, our goal is to release smaller content updates every two weeks to The Mining Dead and Hell Night.
Our first planned update involve several changes to Hell Night with the overall goal of making shorter, more fast paced games that require less players to start, so look forward to that!
