Hardcore Underground

The window to join Hardcore Underground is 11:00–18:00 UTC, when it averages 9 concurrent players — well clear of its 4-player round-the-clock average. It bites hardest at 13:00 UTC, averaging 12. Outside it the city empties: across 18:00–11:00 UTC it averages just 3 players, bottoming out at 22:00 UTC on 1, so an off-peak login means an all-but-empty server.

Its 64 slots are far more than it uses: when anyone is on it, it averages 5 players, and the busiest single moment of the week reached only 19 — 30% of capacity. It is thinning, though: it averaged 4 players across 16 Oct–18 Oct, down 31% on the 6 it averaged across 12 Oct–14 Oct.

That puts Hardcore Underground ahead of 93% of the 42,387 FiveM servers ViceHub tracked consistently this week, ranked on peak concurrent players. That is measured from our own five-minute checks, not from anything the server claims about itself.

Under the hood Hardcore Underground runs Qbox with 156 resources loaded — a substantial build, using pma-voice for voice and ox_inventory for inventory.
