Creator's Notes The Burrow 2 fixes the original version's limited peeks. Foundation peeks require holding Alt key and tapping S — there's "a lot of leeway" so they're hard to mess up. Zypic designed this after a viewer comment and encourages players to submit base ideas. He recommends extra foundation backups for the ground-level peeks since they're hard to replace when broken.
Best For Solo and duo players wanting cheap, early-wipe defense with strong peek coverage against online raids.
