Unlike other VIP maps, Mineside has an unique mechanic: The VIP needs to grab an override device, and place it in the control room, which will temporarily open the gates to the escape zone. The override expires after 60 seconds, so if he dies or fails to capture the point, his team is back to square one.

Death & Taxes update page

Mineside is an official VIP map, set within and beside the Jenkins coal mine, which appears to be harvesting nothing but rocks. The VIP must grab the intelligence from BLU spawn, carry it to RED spawn, and then capture the final control point. When the intelligence is captured, the final control point will open for 60 seconds, and a forward spawn will open for BLU team during this time. If the VIP dies, the intelligence will reset to the start, but will not reset during the 60 second timer. Each time the VIP is killed, 20 seconds are removed from the available round time, and the killer gains 5 seconds of critical hits.

Mineside was added to Team Fortress 2 Classic on July 4, 2020 in the Death & Taxes update.

Spawn

BLU team starts in a spacious spawn area with three different paths, which surround the BLU flag. The VIP must pick up the intelligence and carry it until the end of the map without dying. The intelligence area has three different paths to the middle. The bottom path is a small tunnel, the middle path is a tiny connector, and the right path is an elevated alcove.

Middle

The middle area contains a large health and ammo pack, as well as a one-way forward spawn that opens while the intelligence is delivered. There are three paths to get to RED spawn, the final point. The left path is a tunnel that is positioned either below or above the final area, depending on the route taken. The middle path is a harsh chokepoint with some stairs leading up to a drop. The right path leads to a one-way shutter that is close to the final control point.

Final

The final area is the most spacious, and is directly in front of RED spawn. The VIP must deliver the intelligence to the interior capture zone on the left, at which point the shutter doors to final Control Point opens for 60 seconds. There is one shutter door right next to the intelligence capture zone, and a much larger door exposed to the outside. If the VIP does not capture the Control Point during this time, they must capture the intelligence again. If anyone is within the Control Point building once the doors shut, they are instantly killed.
