6 Triangle Free-hand Roof Bunker- variant 3: pixel gap, claustrophobic, but "cozy"

Here is another take on the free-hand roof bunker, first known as ​⁠@budsatawny Floor Stacked 2x2 and later popularized as ​⁠@ViceRust / ViceVersaGames's Bunker.
DISCLAIMER: The free hand roof bunker concept is NOT my idea nor am I claiming it was. I'm just putting my spin on it as a way to contribute to the community and help push the free-hand roof bunker to next levels. Be sure to thank budsatawny and Vice for their pioneer efforts in coming up with this bunker and getting it out to the community!
Showcasing the most recent version of the free-hand roof bunker that me and others have been testing. This is a very, very, very TIGHT bunker with only 6 triangles (so hopefully they are used wisely).
I had many failed versions of this 6 triangle bunker over the last couple of years but I finally found one I love. It’s my favorite one to play in because it’s so small and meek. It also suits my low key non-aggressive play style.
And special thank you's to those that wish to remain nameless but provided feedback and help test through play!!!
Enjoy and Happy Building!

Historical list of the Free-hand Roof Bunker that connects to only one side; apologies if I missed any major/significant historical contributions; let me know if others should be added
There are MANY MANY more videos on this type of free-hand roof bunker, but I chose to document the early ones and the most recent ones. Please let me know if there are any major, significant, or influential videos that should be added to this list.

[@MarketAndChurch]

I like this, very cool.

[@dleese07]

The original Pop bunker was a ring of triangles with bbq's and small boxes, before they changed bbq's. Brings back nostalgia lol. Your pixel gap is OP 👍

[@mauro2396]

Does it need the brick skin to work?

[@bbqbev]

No, any skin will.

[@day7954]

I wonder how you create HQM vertical pixel gap using a roof? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoDFhpSOa8R8qK8 I was following gamelightz's method, but this seemed easier

[@bbqbev]

Gamelightz method of walking back and forth works well but I frequently mess it up.

[@CrowRust]

but other players can lock you in

[@bbqbev]

With this one, if the twig is broken you need to spawn outside to open it. I have another video I'm working on with different types of free hand bunkers that will showcase how to incorporate mechanisms to open them from the inside too. Also, these types of low cost bunkers are great because you can spam them around, connect them, spread loot, and make a turret village. When you have 20-30 free hand bunkers in an area with turrets it makes it harder for people to break that twig. I digress, and the next upcoming videos will show and explain this more.

[@CrowRust]

@@bbqbev inside opening would be great to see

[@bbqbev]

There is a previous video that shows opening using an extended offset, but since that is nerfed I would recommend Dirac's solution to this - the half wall below. I'll look for that vid and share it if not I'll remake/post it

[@bbqbev]

@@CrowRust Here is Dirac's (@diracbuilds) video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Xdl6KkpZl1d6s PopThatClutch (@dleese07) also has a variant of this that is much cleaner. There is no video for that as of now. I planned on including that in an upcoming video free hand bunker video

[@CrowRust]

@@bbqbev ah never thought of doing it like that
