I think adding the furnaces in the front kinda gives away that it’s a double height base, especially if you’re able to build this in a dip. I’d opt to just put a triangle floor there and a campfire in the corner instead to keep it as incognito as possible

[@Reksmore]

100% a concern, worth considering covering that piece to really sell the design if its a concern. It just will limit you to 1-2 furnaces unles you swap out the locker

[@agoniaXdunya]

Do the Adobe foundations look like that or will others know those are half walls?

[@Ryuukene]

@@agoniaXdunyano it’s pay to lose with the design

[@dante5526]

to increase stealth you can build in a rock formation, add honeycomb and make it look like you couldn't expand further due to the terrain for extra stealth, generally, I think a scuff base attracts even less attention than even a 2x1, leave the exterior all stone, external door sheet metal, and upgrade the interior to sheet metal walls and armor doors and the raid cost go up to about 12 rockets from doors and 10 from the backside, this is how I usually go about my wipe, the hidden loot room looks like a nice thing to add and I'm going to try it out for sure

[@Reksmore]

A good idea for sure! Stealth and deception are the best ways to survive a wipe

[@lokbomen]

@@Reksmore thats fine tbh, i now usually only run one or two furnace with pipes, the higher uptime make up for the lost in speed

[@qwaang4282]

I’ve recently started building in crevasses and rock formations aswell. I always sneak a 3 triangle bunker just for tc smol box and bag, and I’ll tell ya I’ve never been successfully raided lol they get to main loot but never find the bunker so I can usually make a comeback

[@MonkGaming]

If you use the Adobe or Container skins, the half wall bottom layer has a completely different texture (diamond pattern on Adobe) which gives away the fact that you have an entire lower layer. Stick with basic stone or sheet metal skins.

[@travv88]

Having double doors on over the gap and leaving them open will cause raiders to not bother raiding the door which will cause them to never know the pixel gap is there. If you can make your pixel gap in a less essential position than in front of the TC (and have external TCs to prevent griefing) this can be a viable way of hiding loot.

[@joeldiaz3058]

though you would need to leave them opening inwards otherwise they are airlocked and need to break it xD

[@travv88]

@gregcheatham962 External TC is the way to get the loot back. Have a few sealed off TCs around. Perhaps make it seem like you were TC griefed. That way they cannot get the loot and can't seal it.

[@baron946]

@@travv88 perhaps even disguising it as an external TC on an already raided compound might be a big brain move also

[@travv88]

yes. if they think there is nothing there then they will move on to something else. @@baron946

[@SpookyBear2-Operations]

This basically how I live every wipe :) I like this variant! I’ll give it a whirl!

[@alisterx8698]

4:40 wow! I’m somewhat new to rust Console, nice little inside tip with the comfort percentage 👍

[@Reksmore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheArccore]

Is Rust PC and Console cross platform??

[@macy1066]

It's a nice design, but I think using the space between the doors for the furnaces says there's more space below the rest of the base.

[@Reksmore]

Its definitely something to consider and you can easily block it off instead, just limits you to 1 or 2 furnaces inside instead (or 3 without the locker)

[@foremanhaste5464]

I do think it is worth noting that the primary feature of this design is negated by the raider putting a door and lock back. If a person raids a 1x2 with metal doors, it is more likely they want you gone more then they want the contents of your base. Even still, if you are going to build a 1x2 this is a premium contender for how to do it. Don't even need fancy 'out with triangles' pixel gapping tech, just thoughtful placement.

[@Reksmore]

There's always the risk but as a lot of players live that 2x1 lifestyle it's def worth considering this one instead

[@jvnlrche]

i always builld a bag in the tc room of the 2x1 so i can still spawn if im being deeped or raided, maybe a bag in this occasion with a small lookatradius is the play

[@JestrJax]

My observation on this design is that it'll work better without the building skins, the half walls are easy to spot from the foundation design difference and I feel that is work noting, especially with stone/adobe.

[@tinytallguy]

time for another W reks more video

[@eseak123]

Reksmore, love your bases and the way you present them in your videos. And also the videos of you playing the game are great 👍 Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Reksmore]

Thanks a ton! Appreciate the support and your kind words

[@INVERTpbFREAK]

But what step was the step that actually made the pixel gap? What is the critical piece here?

[@dassault7618]

7:40 yeah, i like my crack to be accessible at all times lmao Great video

[@Reksmore]

Quick access is important

[@RUSTRP-y5c]

maybe only place a door there at night when you go offline

[@jackskellington9475]

Idk why but i cant get the crack in the floors kinda needa explain better on that

[@svendoe8137]

It's only working with the brick skin? Tryed it with normal stone and it doesn't work. Can't find the gap even with 8x scope. 🤔

[@dieser1mulaboy]

Maaaaan... I truely have to say that I love Reks. This S*it is so simple but so good. I never would´ve known that building pixel gaps is so easy. Normally it goes with some freaky mechanics. Well with that being said. I freakin hate pixelgaps. It´s so annoying to play them XD It´s a certified Willjum classic video.

[@Reksmore]

I think he'd like it tbh

[@dieser1mulaboy]

@@Reksmore finally Spoonkid answered to one of my comments. I can now die in peace. 💗

[@TaintBruiZer]

You able to do this vertically too?

[@Pecker1981]

I tried 3 different times, I cant get the gap, and cant figure out which step im failing on... the initial squares, or placing the highten floors

[@fatcloudsbruh]

Is there a way to mix the pixel gap into the your new base build base? the op solo base...

[@Lava_858]

Is it possible to place a bag below the floor so that a raider can't break it?

[@me0pt476]

Thanks you ❤

[@Reksmore]

You're welcome 😊 hopefully this helps

[@priince9784]

Works at to wirh a high qual floor?

[@Mousymusic]

what if add this to your bunker base? possible?

[@azakey]

Every avarage or above player will know that their is a chance of a pixelgap bunker on 1,5 height 2x1 like that. This trick is known for at least 4+ years... Its better implement horizontal or vertical pixel gaps in walls in small to medium size bases.

[@damiandragun2279]

Yo thanks so much with this desighn i was able to. Make my frst ever pixel gap on console thanks

[@Reksmore]

Glad I could help!!

[@baron946]

I think the double door is actually superior to the garage door insofar as it completely hides the pixelgap. I would potentially even leave the double door open (inwards) with a whole bunch of shit loot in the upper boxes to trick raiders into thinking that's all there is to it.

[@maibemiles3904]

I designed a 2x1 with three triangles on one side making a D shape. It’s a bit hard to describe the 2nd/3rd floors but it’s very simple. I wanted to make a base as strong as possible but requiring the least amount of upkeep!! I put enough doors in there to make it 15 rockets to go thru doors to tc justifying armoured walls… now I only have under 300 hrs in this game as im more a spectator than player… and I know it’s basically sacrilege to upgrade with no honeycomb… I’m curious would you just be begging to be raided with a no honeycombed full HQM 2x1 even tho going through doors costs 15 plus rockets?… it just seems to me like this may be more viable than people give credit for… but then again I have been wrong before… lol I figure youll log in and find 2-3 doors gone each time but they’ll run out and give up… you come back and replace the doors, it’s all good, no? 🤷‍♂️ lol love the content, you really show these walk throughs better than 99% of people who do guide videos (not just rust but all yt!!!) keep up the great work bro!

[@IntoTheAbyss771]

Do you know if this works on console?

[@Reksmore]

It should fs

[@ivans2014]

Been there done that. Raider just place at down and take his time to get that "hidden" loot

[@Reksmore]

Its fs gonna get spotted sometimes. In my exp tho that's like 1 in 20 raids

[@darthbader6506]

Sneaky 👍

[@CptChow]

Does this work on console?

[@Reksmore]

Yes

Nice

[@Reksmore]

Isn't it tho! It's so quick to get down for what it does!

[@AssaultKk]

Good job Reks I love so much how much fun you are and everything you do to make us have fun. Thank you for being such a fun Rust KZbinr ❤

[@Reksmore]

Thanks so much

[@kotstulle6461]

Hey there, rly appreciate your base designs. Just wanted to let you know that the translation in your advertisement is something like a false friend. "bitte holen sie mich ab" would mean to pick someone up (for example from home) and bring him to another place. The correct translation for "please pick me up" in the sense of reviving would be: "bitte hilf mir hoch". I don't wanna be nitpicky, but it's kinda funny if you make an ad for a language learning app, but your translation doesn't make much sense at all.

[@Reksmore]

Lol and this is why I need to learn!

[@adamchinque1941]

Does this work on console

[@urelsen]

great! with Babbel I can finally know all the slurs the Russian clan is throwing at me!

[@Reksmore]

EXACTLY!!!

[@connorgordon9489]

Every1 who is saying that the base is easy and people will know the only ppl who are gonna raid that are ppl with satchels the Zerg’s are not bothered about a 2x1 I think it’s safe but u will try, and also if they raid with satchel and do find the pixel gap then it’s another 10 satchels

[@williamcox6960]

For this I don’t think that adobe is good because the half walls have such an obvious skin compared to normal stone

[@jimzuur7228]

Sadly you can actually get to the loot in the boxes as a raider without using any extra boom. I wont say how as not every one knows how but just know that's its not like raiders need to spend boom if they know.

[@ninpo-2103]

The question is - do devs plan to patch all holes...

[@Reksmore]

Nope! They don't care about bunkers or pixel gaps

[@ninpo-2103]

@@Reksmore good. stability tricks only will make raiding more expensive and base designs slightly more expensive.

[@oxnmm6197]

I always have a hammer with me during a raid I would know just by the stability of the foundations 😏

[@roamingmillennial2200]

4 rockets and everything is mine... the base makes it fairly obvious something is up like a pixel gap.

[@justinkarp4038]

This pixel gap must have been patched, I can't get it to work.

[@azbedrolc1830]

same here been trying for an hour and doesen't seem to work

[@Mando581]

Dude i wish i wouldve read this instead of wast hours building 6 of them

[@Perrybezenar]

Same. Any luck?

[@hanksturgell]

this is a very old pixel gap i learned this pixel gap from alone in tokyho videos 4 years ago there is actually an easier way to do it

[@Rundik]

Two c4 to the loot. Not exactly expensive

[@Reksmore]

Upgrading is a thing. Expanding is a thing. Honeycomb exists.

[@CGI_Monk]

If u expand with honeycomb then armor the pixel gap area it's actually minimum 20 rockets, if they don't know how to raid it exactly correct it could be up to 40 if they just pummel, but offline minimum 20 just through the half walls

[@daemonthenoob]

Hi

[@Reksmore]

Helo

[@SaltedCanine]

This is not your build Reks, Shrinks did this first and it was his concept, you should really give out the credit rather then claiming it as your own.

[@Reksmore]

If I took it from anyone else I'd agree. Since I built and designed it myself I disagree.

[@SaltedCanine]

Yeah I feel you mate, I'm a fan of your work, our gameplay is very similar. But truth is, this is a carbon copy of xShrinks' video he put out a few weeks ago. Just seems off 👍

[@Reksmore]

@@SaltedCanine Ive never heard of xshrinks but like dudes got 3 videos and I dont see a 2x1

[@CGI_Monk]

​@@Reksmore I did find the vid on shrinks profile but he only got 2k subs I doubt u found his profile and copied this

[@_Juke_]

Pixel gap style is unique, but base "design" is not.

[@Reksmore]

Thats kind of the point. People will see just a 2x1 and not realize it's pixel gapd

[@_Juke_]

@@Reksmore i meant that pixel gaps aren't unique, but the method of how you made them is at-least to me unique.

nothing new about this.,.and your thumbnail is fake becus that base dosnt have a hidden lootroom. Dont claim credit for others work
