Overview
A 2x1 duo base with bunker core, multiple shooting floors, and four protected externals. Perfect for duos looking to expand later into squad territory.
Key Features
- Double-layered honeycomb around main core
- Four turrets covering inner shell from protected squares
- Shooting floor with multiple peek angles and ramp positions

See video for full build cost.
Creator's Notes
- Upgrade doors to armored for final version
- Place turrets on roof hidden behind bedrooms
- Use brutalist skin for pixel gaps (alternative works fine)
- External TC requires disconnection from main base for placement
- Two externals only — fully honeycomb both with stone walls
- Upkeep is affordable for duos and small squads
- Shelf placement near entrance works as fast loot room
Best For
Duos planning to expand mid-wipe or squads wanting a compact, defensible core.
