* Evilwurst does not in any way endorse this build. I just wanted to shout him out after he shouted me out in his last video, because that's how things have to be. And I do think he's the coolest and and my first inspiration as a 'builder' and tremendous help when I was starting to play rust, with his very useful builds. Thank you Evilwurst!

THE DEATHKNELL 2
Total Upkeep:
~22k Frags
~26k Stone
~160 HQM

Build Cost (Not including deployables):
~60K Frags (Essential deployables, such as doors, 30k)
~140K Stone
~650 HQM

PROS:

Offline Defense:
* 6 bunkers hidden around the base
* 5 walls to core from almost every direction. Getting all loot from bottom floors and bunkers would require around 120 rockets. A perfect offline raid is most effective, but that's not going to happen here. Most of the defenses are geared towards making a standard online raid ineffective.
Getting the kits from lockers etc would take a hell of a lot more.

Online Defense:
* Ramp/multi-tc gap Inner Peeks
* Shooting floor extensions + Ramp Peeks
* 3 Flank Bases, each with 6 beds, lockers, 360 shooting floor
* Catwalks for fast navigation between flank bases and core.
* Total of 36 beds (including 6 beds on the inner peek floor, core bedrooms, and flank bases)

Budget:
*Most people I asked what reasonable upkeep would be for a base of this strength gave numbers well in excess (up to and over double) of what I ended up with.
This is the most efficient group base I've seen in Rust in terms of cost/protection/usability.
* Core TC holds upkeep for 24 hours. More if you upgrade a bit more to metal/hqm.

Upscaling:
* EXCELLENT for x2 etc. servers. There is much than can still be upgraded, and all upgrades have actual utility in this build.

CONS:
* Does not come with a starter base (have to farm up to complete second floor, from then on you can use it.

* Core maneouverability is lowered with only 1 jump up from core to bedroom floor.
This however, is not an issue, since the core is completely closed down in a raid.
There is good maneouverability (3 jump ups) for top 2 floors and roof, and excellent maneouverability in shooting floor/flank bases, meaning, where it matters.

Suggestions:

* Disconnectible TC's are a good idea in this base. I didn't include it in the video because I don't want every video to be all videos, but mini-satori's disconnectibles are excellent here)

* If you're concerned about raiders using the catwalks against you, you can add a garage door in there, a turret, or even make the floor out of wood, so that if they try to go through it, they'll be forced to blow it up, or you can prevent them access from that path.

I straight up died when I heard Evil Wurst 🤣

[georgemourad]

The expert build bit had my crying lmfao.

Can't wait for the up to date version 🍿.definitely one of my favourite builders...we build this on a wipe and we also had the concern with raiders taking over a flank base, our sort of solution was to build an extra floor to main base, no roofs on the catwalks amd have multiple turrets pointing at the catwalks from above ...maybe use the disconnectable tc glitch to make catwalks fall when needed? Or use the new conditional bunker method you are showing in you latest videos to make the flank base /catwalks crumble by placing a structure? Keep up the good work bud your videos are fun to watch amd have concepts nobody else uses

Built the deathknell on console rust! What a gem, was a strong build. To bad we only had 2 ppl online when we got raided by a clan.
I loved the peaks and functionality of the base, plus looking at it top down was heaven! Thnx for pro builds!!!

[DrSystemAddict]

I'm proud to one of your early fans. You're going to be huge!

[shaynegauvreau]

LOVED the Evil Wurst homage. I hope him and his family are doing well.

[ethantim]

I built this for the past 6 wipes. Never been raided. I have seen alot of base designs. Honestly this mixes the best of offline and online protection. I would like this video a thousand times if I could. Amazing work!

[soren]

This turned out great, cost lookin good and love the way you chose to do the shooting floor w/ the sentinels, sick base

[GameLightz]

If you're worried about raiders using your catwalks against you, no worries. Options:

* You can make the floors out of wood, so you can remove it at any time.

* You can stick a garage door and turret in there, so there's a chance they'll blow the catwalk themselves or weaken it greatly as they try to get in if they only have rockets.

* Another option is to make the catwalks open (no windows on the sides, just half-high walls, though this could potentially endanger you as well.

* You omit them altogether.
There are other potential options, depending on how creative you are.


Another improvement:
* Add a door on top of the flank towers, where the ladder hatch is. Inverted shotgun trap also useful.

Words cannot describe how influential you have been to my building skills. Thank you.

[oaziur]

Dude you are my favorite rust builder since I discovered you yesterday, amazing work, Im checking all your videos just cause its way too fun! Amzing work!

[HeavensentLXXI]

I love the design my man. Look forward to trying this build on my next wipe!

[noc]

Wow man this is incredible! I've been using your solo/duo/trio version of the temple as a solo, and I have yet to be raided (no shortage of attempts) lol. If I ever play in a big group I'd love to try this out. Definitely would need to practice it a few times, though! Thanks for another awesome build and video! :)

[moritz]

Hey man I watched a lot of building videos and designed some myself. Everybody has a good idea here or there which can be integrated in a base or somehow implemented. But you have constant GREATE ideas and bases. This is the first base that fits my expectations almost in every point and i will try to build it with my duo Mate on a 2x. I am glad I discovered you and wish you all the best!!!👍🏼

[rathfoks]

I think this might be my favorite base to ever appear on youtube

[kokmuncher]

I used a modified version of this base on rust console this wipe, we got onlined by a 10 man yesterday who pummeled our base with 180 rockets and still managed to defend as a 6 man. Our base was almost completely pummeled but 5 of the 6 bunkers still remained with all our main loot in it to instantly rebuild the base. Best base I have ever built hands down. Thank you man 👍

[tiddlywinks]

Best bases man, I like the funk too, sounds like something from and old TV station

[aidanreilly]

Just got raided on the monthly. f in chat. But now I get to build this magnificent beast

[bluvoid]

i have been waiting this base looks awesome

[Brick_Playz]

Inside of the triangle roofs on the roof I personally place walls inside of them to prevent splash damage on the hexagon under!
