Creator: zYn


Overview

A high-tier 2x2 base designed for solo, duo, and trio groups in the February 2026 Naval Update meta. This build prioritizes raid cost and protection over simplicity, suitable as both a starter and expansion base.


Key Features

  • 2x2 footprint — compact yet defensible
  • 3-wall honeycomb protection — aggressive outer layering to maximize raid cost
  • Hidden vending machine bunker — concealed TC setup with reduced upkeep

Creator's Take

zYn positions this as a meta-optimized design that moves beyond basic starter bases. The emphasis on Naval Update readiness and hidden TC bunkers suggests a focus on staying competitive against both land and sea-based raids while maintaining low maintenance costs.


Best For
