Creator's Take

Nini emphasizes this base stops early offline raids through extreme floor-stacking and bunker density. He highlights the simple floor-stack method requires no practice. The self-defending turrets force raiders to destroy garage doors first, draining rockets before they hit the main base. He flags that boxes inside retake peaks can be raided, so don't store best loot there. Works on both PC and console.

Best For

Groups playing aggressive online raid defense who want extreme protection against offline raids on day one.
