About This Game

About the Game

Pit Wars is a fast-paced 2–4 player online PvP heist game centered around deception, strategy, and high-risk digging combat.
Each player owns a backyard with three diggable pits, hides their money inside them, sets dangerous traps, and then raids other players’ pits to steal their stash.
Every match is a mix of planning, bluffing, and chaotic action.

Gameplay Overview

🔧 Preparation Phase

Before the action starts, each player prepares their territory:

• Hide your money inside one of your three pits

• Place various trap types inside each pit (damage traps, alarms, fake pits, slow traps, etc.)

• Purchase anti-trap tools to protect yourself during raids

• Misdirect opponents by creating convincing decoys

• Strategically plan how to defend your own pits while planning your assault

This phase focuses heavily on strategy, mind games, and risk management.

⚔️ Raid Phase

Once the match begins, players invade each other's backyards to dig up their pits:

• Dig through multiple layers in each pit (every pit has 4 layers, each layer may contain traps)

• Use your anti-trap tools to survive surprises

• Locate the correct pit, steal the money, and escape

• Defend your own backyard while attacking others

• Face constant pressure as multiple players act simultaneously

This phase delivers high tension, quick decisions, and unpredictable chaos.
