What Rust Сoncepts says about this base
Overview This is a 2x2 honeycomb core base with inner shell, outer shell, compound, and externals. Perfect for global wipe teams playing duo, trio, or squad.
Key Features
- 2x2 honeycomb core with metal upgrade
- Four pixel gap shooting floors with brutalist embrasures (vertical embrasures work without DLC)
- Two bedrooms inside main core, two in compound, two on roof (four total)
- Four externals with disconnectable TCs tied to bedroom TCs
- Eight turrets inside compound, four on roof
- Inner shell with loot and furnaces, outer shell with honeycombing
- Dual airlocks and panic rooms on all sides
- Jump-ups on second and third floors
Build Details Main base upkeep: approximately 20,000 metal and 200 HQM total (includes external TCs and connected bedrooms). See video for full build cost breakdown.
Creator's Notes
- Raiders typically hit first and second floors, so honeycomb those heavily
- Use four-side symmetry to create pixel gaps on all sides for safe picking
- Disconnect external TCs from main TC with triangle roofs—if raided, replace main TC and reconnect
- Bedrooms connected to externals prevent griefing if main TC falls
- Wind turbines recommended on roof
- Upkeep is affordable for teams of two or more
Best For Global wipe groups looking for a scalable base with multiple TC backups and strong external defense.
