What Luca. says about this base
Overview
This cave base combines three separate bunkers with strong online defense for solo, duo, or trio groups. It trades pure offline protection for practical gameplay and defender respawns.
Key Features
- Three distinct bunkers (bucket suicide, wall bunker, final bunker) slow raiders down
- Minimum four armored walls before TC access
- Multiple defender respawn points across the base for retakes
- Hidden boxes behind ladder hatch with shotgun trap
- Open court design with two separate loot rooms
- Oneway retake to shoot raider feet from above loot area
- Hidden battery spot behind window
- Requires small easy cave specifically (check Rust maps)
- Needs external power base with wind turbine or solar panels

Creator's Take
Most cave bases only stop offline raids. This one handles unlimited rockets by adding strong online defense, multiple retake points, and spread-out loot. Luca flags that you need the exact cave type to build this design. Electricity must come from an external base — two turrets drain a full battery in about 20 hours.
Best For
Players who defend actively during raids and need both offline layers and constant respawn advantage.
