Secret Base is an extra large map added in the 10.4.0 update.
Appearance
The map is situated near an ocean on the bottom of a mountain. The map contains a somewhat hidden base inside a rock formation, a dock area with a crane, and two guard towers, and a landing pad with a hovercraft. The base contains a storage room, an office, a room with 3 beds, a generator inside barrier fences, a desk with computers, and maps of the world on a screen.
Strategy
- Place Turrets and throw Nuclear Grenades on the spawn of the opposing team.
- Do not use close range weapons unless in close range combat, as this is a long range map, and close range weapons may not perform very well.
- Regarding pets, equip the Arnold 3000, since it is a ranged pet.
