First steps when you join
Step
When you spawn into the underground map, resist the urge to run straight into combat. Walk around first and get a feel for where mining areas, combat zones, and item spawns are sitting. Once you know the layout, you can decide whether to start mining or head into a fight.
- Try every basic action practise moving, switching weapons, and swinging your sword or firing before a real fight starts.
- Gather resources first do some mining before your first PvP encounter so you have something to work with.
- Pick a starting style decide whether you want to focus on mining for income or jump into combat early.

Mining as your income source
Tips
Digging tunnels gets you metals and other resources you can spend on weapons and upgrades. There are several mining spots around the map.
- Keep your mining tool on you at all times so you can switch to gathering whenever combat gets too dangerous.
- Move between spots regularly.
Sword vs. rifle — choosing the right weapon
TableUnderground War 2.0 gives you two main ways to fight: a sword for close quarters and a rifle for ranged sniping. Narrow tunnels heavily favour the sword because there's little room to dodge and engagements happen fast. Open areas flip that advantage to the rifle, where you can pick off targets before they close the gap.
| Sword | best in tight tunnels where enemies can't keep their distance. |
| Rifle | best in wide-open areas where you can line up a shot safely. |
| Beginners | sword first, because close-range fights teach you spacing and timing. |
| Rifle ammo | finite and needs reloading, so fire deliberately rather than spraying. |
Advanced positioning and ambush tactics
Tips
The underground setting has plenty of high ground, and a player above their opponent lands rifle shots more reliably. When you're playing with friends, sharing enemy locations in real time is one of the biggest advantages you can have.
- Claim high ground before sniping — elevated positions improve your rifle accuracy against targets below.
- Coordinate group attacks tightly — timing a multi-player rush together is far more effective than charging separately.
What to check when you keep losing
CheckIf you're getting killed repeatedly, the problem is almost always one of two things: your weapons are outdated, or you're fighting in spots that put you at a disadvantage. Going back to mine for a while and upgrading before re-entering combat breaks the cycle faster than fighting through it.
- Are your weapons upgraded? Older gear makes killing enemies significantly harder.
- Do you have enough resources? If not, stop fighting and mine until you can afford an upgrade.

Free-to-play viability
SummaryEverything you need to buy and upgrade weapons comes from in-game resources, which you earn by mining and winning fights. Any paid items act as a shortcut rather than a requirement.
- Mining income used to buy and upgrade weapons without spending real money.
- Combat rewards winning fights feeds back into more resources and experience.
- Paid items time-savers only, not a barrier to progression.

Common questions
FAQWhich weapon should a beginner use?
Start with the sword. Close-range fights teach you how spacing and timing work. Pick up the rifle once you're comfortable with the basics.
How do I stop losing to the same players over and over?
Pull back from combat and spend time mining until you can upgrade your weapons. Also check whether you're fighting in wide-open spots with a sword or in tunnels with a rifle — using the wrong weapon for the range is one of the most common reasons players keep dying.
