Key Features of Patch 11.1
- Undermine Zone: Dive into the polluted, hyper-industrialized goblin capital, a chaotic hub of rival cartels and high-speed mayhem.
- D.R.I.V.E. System: Unlock the G-99 Breakneck vehicle for zippy, customizable ground travel. Think Mario Kart meets Azeroth—drifting mechanics, speed boosts, and endless tinkering options.

- Operation: Floodgate Dungeon: Stop a catastrophic dam collapse in a four-boss dungeon set in the Ringing Deeps.

D.R.I.V.E.: Goblin Engineering at Its Peak
The D.R.I.V.E. system is more than just transportation—it’s an experience. The G-99 Breakneck vehicle, exclusive to Undermine, offers:
- Customization: Modify engines for speed or acceleration, adjust grip for better drifting, and tweak turbo boosts for maximum chaos.
- Gameplay Mechanics: Drift through tight corners using the Spacebar, build turbo charges for speed bursts, and race through goblin streets at speeds faster than Skyriding.
- Unlockable Upgrades: Earn parts through quests, rare drops, and cartel vendors to fine-tune your ride.
Pro tip: Master drifting early—it’s not just for style; it’s essential for navigating Undermine’s winding roads.
Liberation of Undermine Raid Schedule
Starting March 4, players can tackle the Liberation of Undermine raid across various difficulties:
- March 4: Normal, Heroic, Mythic modes + first Raid Finder wing.
- March 11: Story Mode (solo-friendly) + second Raid Finder wing.
- March 18 & March 25: Third and fourth Raid Finder wings.
Expect quirky boss fights like a DJ battle and a mechanical T-Rex showdown—all with that signature goblin flair.
For casual players, the new Story Mode offers a stress-free way to enjoy raid content without dealing with hardcore raid leaders. For competitive players, fresh challenges like Mythic+ rotations and PvP arenas keep the grind alive.
With its mix of chaos and creativity, Undermine(d) is shaping up to be one of WoW’s most dynamic updates yet. Whether you’re racing through goblin streets or tackling Gallywix’s zany schemes, there’s something here for everyone. February 25 can’t come soon enough!
