The Grift is a cozy trio base that can be afforded by a dedicated solo or duo, but also spacious enough to fit a small group. It has a funnel wall, 22 beds, loads of storage, and head glitch peeks all over compound. This base is incredible easy to build, has a great starter, and will carry you through wipe.

I can always build you a bigger base 🤔

[@Yexom]

@@dustgg no please this one is fine

[@yacvaguer8836]

I did (x2 server) but too much space that you cannot cover, I even had an online and after I realise that I didn't use half of the feature for the online too big too little to cover

[@yaboifet9058]

@@dustgg I think you are very capable of building fun nasty looking bases that im sure would be fun to live in. However, most of the time, ppl just get offlined by some min. 6 deep zerg that doesnt give a fuck about boom and has a cheater who can see through the base anyway so "hiding" loot is just pointless. In this case, i personally dont rly care about the quality of my peeks or my roof, i just want those fuckers to spend at least 6 hours farming for my leather clothes and stone tools. The funnel walls are amazing and i have been using them ever since i saw them on yt, amazing stuff, love it. Personal tipp: incendiary rockets, they just completely lock down a breach for almost a minute. Thus, as a solo player playing officials who bags his lazy leech friends only when i got a row of aks already these are my priorities: (I wish that someone as talented as you could make something that satisfies this, it would be meta) >Loot is distributed and preferably bunkered. No main loot. >If the base looks like a turd, good, less attention is good. >The base can withstand at least 27 rockets before getting to a loot room. This is 3 walls. >The base is made out of tight spaces and lots of traps (remember, i wont be there to defend, even if im there). People who play in groups are overconfident morons so if they offline me at 6 am id like for them to suffer and be vulnerable to counters by dying a lot. >The shooting floor/peeks/mobility are minimalistic. Essentially the roof is there to house 3 sam sites (if im rich) that are as safe as possible, taking heli although its not worth doing as solo since ur guaranteed to not get the heli loot and put a big fat target on ur back... and also maybe to hold a mini (i usually just park it in a metal heli base with 2 garage doors overnight or allahu akbar it in a zergs roof to break their shit) Im sorry if this sounds kinda pessimistic but after 6k hrs i dont rly give a shit about sounding like a noob and i like to say the truth as it is. EDIT: Even if its an online, i tend to struggle against those russian 0.5 hr gamers who are oh so talented and tend to get recruited by groups in officials. Imagine the world we'd live in if facepunch handed out association bans :D.

[@SaltyGrub1475]

@@dustgg This is a mighty fine base.

[@pedro_sousa76]

Halfway through the video and your content just never stops surprising me in a good way. From the video editing to the actual base designs, everything just looks so well done. You deserve all the good things life will bring you Dust, these videos are amazing, please keep it up!

[@MoreElgato8725]

Always love the base designs, would love to see more that maximize the turret ranges like this one, and/or ones with more use of bunkers!

[@xZX1D]

@Dust I been trying this footprint for weeks upon weeks and never found a design for it. No wonder nobody has made a video on it because it's so difficult to find something that works. Good job, fr. I had a similar layout to yours but you just perfected it.

[@thecowboyfromcali]

I'd love to see a duo or trio, maybe even quad sized base that is decent against offline attempts. I rarely ever have the luxury to defend my base while it is being raided, so something a little bigger, or more honeycomb/rocket cost is great. I also love heli and frequently put my base in bigger areas with water, so maybe a small addon garage or boat house, as well as some sort of easy attack heli enclosure. I've used so many of these, and I always appreciate the intricate designs you come up with.

[@cloveruty]

TAKE NOTE: As of 10/5/2023 update, the triangle roof at 19:32 can not be placed if the frames are already there. Place the roof first then you can add the frames and walls.

[@brandon4036]

I think you can still place the roofs if the frames are upgraded to sheet metal.

[@sweetmartinez7699]

I love you thanks

[@Jevzii]

wish I knew this before I built it already

[@tiamohammers7935]

[@2-7_4-bet]

if you change the frames to one of the build skins you can build the frames first. pay to win guys

[@KingOfLeeYT]

Holy crap, exactly what I needed. Always needed to build a starter before I built the palisade, better main base progression this time. Ty

[@LittleDzn]

When I think your production value has peaked for your videos and you come out with any another banger! By far the best editor on the rust build scene. If not rust, in general!

[@Edd_Black]

Your bases are my absolute favorite! When my son and I made the Crux years ago, it was the best time in RUST we ever had! Thanks for the memories man! Have you ever thought about making a hemp/berry farm base for people like me who have a more chill playstyle?

[@kakkrotto]

I’ve been using th me micro yeti and the yeti 2 for most wipes, but this looks like a major upgrade, so I will be testing this next wipe. great build man, love it!

[@tristanrivera7448]

Insanely dope base. Just subbed thank you brotha!

[@imzythosyt8832]

Loved the video bro, and great base design. I left a like, and subscribed! keep it up man!

[@UgglyUggy]

so much creativity in each design ! love it

[@chancep2676]

To attest to this bases strength, I built it yesterday and ended up getting 3v8 onlined. 2 full rounds of mlrs, 3 guys rocketing, 1 guy c4, 1 with m2 explo and it ended up costing them over 100+ rockets before they finally punched a hole all of the way through to core, and then rocketing up to roof. For only 3 of us on, we were able to move swiftly through the base defending, and resealing. I’d highly recommend this for a 3-6 man to live in. Plenty of room for loot and beds for that size of team, easily. Thanks Dust for another great one!

[@PercyOBJ]

i would love to see a video of you explaining your building process. you never over build anything and you never under build anything. everything you build is so well put together and perfect. like it was a base that was meant to be in the game. I have been watching and building your bases since the release of the crypt.

[@thomaszhang3101]

Yexom tested your Anvil base in a 1v5 raid defense. The video dropped 2 days ago. It seems that the shooting floor is pretty good, but the brokenly small ventrico peeks on the shooting floor is too small for automatic fire. You really need a bolty to take advantage of that peek.

[@IIIIMOOSEIIII]

iwas just watching that and tbf i think those peeks are for more closer angles rather than shooting the range he was

I’ve been using Crow’s bunkered externals for quite some time, you can actually throw a vending machine bunker on the roof for even more storage if you’ve upgraded the whole the to armor. Just make sure the vending machine is on the middle triangle.

DUST, you HAVE TO come check out this peak. It is the most disgusting peak I’ve ever seen, ever. It’s basically a one way peak. It’s at 1:13 of the video “The Perfect Farm Expansion” by spinky. It’s like your slit peak in Anvil base, but it allows you to adjust elevation to hit targets at a wider range.

[@Calli243]

Absoloutly love all you vase designs but maybe you can do one for a solo or duo with a low upkeep but still a shooting floor
