What spinky. says about this base
Overview The Relic is a lemon-shaped bunker base for 4–6 man clans. It combines an open core with hidden TC placement and wide-gap shooting angles for strong online and offline defense.
Key Features
- Hidden main TC tucked behind a single door in the open core—three to four walls deep and hard to raid
- External TC disconnect lets you replace the main TC without raiding externals
- Console-friendly bunker with wooden foundation toggle (wooden when online, armored when offline)
- Open core packs tight with loot rooms, drop-down bedrooms, and a dangerous embrasure one-way
- 360° wide-gap shooting floor with protected peaks and patricos on every corner
- Reverse waterfall roof access with anti-heli turrets
- Shield wall on compound perimeter for rocket soak
- Two vending machines drone-accessible for early-game profit
Build Details
- Build cost: 70,000 metal, 80,000 stone, 260 HQM
- Upkeep: 17,000 metal, 18,000 stone, 75 HQM
- Uses three TCs total (two externals, one hidden main)
Creator's Take Spinky calls this a "banger" with solid online and offline raid protection. The hidden TC tech—borrowed from his chase-box style—now scales to main bases. He flags the bunker's toggle mechanic as key for convenience during raids. The wide gaps and patricos give defenders multiple angles from every corner. No major weaknesses mentioned; he sees this tech spreading across more meta designs.
Best For 4–6 man clans wanting a defensible footprint with tricky TC placement and consistent raid-holding angles.
