Built to redefine what defendable truly means, The Apex is the pinnacle of everything I’ve learned designing Rust bases. This is my strongest creation ever, a super fortified, floorstacked monster engineered to completely dominate both online and offline raids.
At the heart of the base lies the best open core I’ve ever designed, packed with nasty peaks and insane angles that makes you want to get onlined. The custom shooting floor is perfectly designed with the insane funnel compound, forcing raiders into a single path protected by 4+ strategically placed turrets.

Good base for snowballing . One thing I would say is maybe try to add bunkers to the base but other than that base is good
It was pretty awesome to build and see what can be done wt the build out and gatehouse peaks, my only issue as a duo is the cost, its not that expensive in hindsight but we really only play 1-2 days of a wipe endless it stays above 150 pop, so building a base that requires over 10k frags of upkeep is hard to maintain, i understand thats a personal problem which is why i still rate this 5 stars, it does everything anyone could possibly need and if you practise it its not hard to build ❤️ thank you faded rust -moth
My buddy’s and I have been looking for a perfect base for great offline defense, good peeks for onlines, a nice 3rd floor living space and especially bunkers. And man does this base have bunkers, Highly recommend bagging this one. Thanks Faded 🔥
Built The Base on Bloo Lagoon 1.5x as a Duo, the Design worked out perfectly, we managed to defend 2 Raid attempts against, 1 while in the building process and 1 with the fully finished Base, both trios dipped after about an hour without even getting to OC. I made some slight adjustments regarding the compound (6 Turrets per TC xo) and the Roof Turrets, the Pods that you can (hopefully) see on the Screenshot put the Windmills a bit higher and makes the turret almost indestructible + gives it better angles.
Love the Design and will definitely build it again next Wipe <3
Honestly best base ever !!! My first time buying a base design. At first i thought i was mad contemplating it but best decision in ages. I absolutly love the Apex , i have been playing around and tweaking bits and pieces to add my own stamp to it as well which has been fun.
Worth every penny for the hard work and hours Faded put into this design. Very Tanky ,Very Defendable ,Highly recommended !!
Thanks Faded
this base is great! I’ve bought every base besides the Void and I thought that I might as well get the last one. and if i’m being honest, I think this is the best one! it has multiple bunkers, great retakes, and many more features. I HIGHLY recommend buying this piece
Hello everyone!
I've lived in many of this author's houses, my favorites being Ares, Dungeons, and Void Beast 2, but this one is incredible.
Pros: Plenty of space (can distribute loot), two exits from the house, three rooftop exits, easy loot shooting, a hidden bunker (hard to guess it's there), double ceilings, excellent shooting spots on the 3rd floor and the ability to separate them, the roof, my respects, is beautiful and spacious.
Cons: The cost of the house per day, construction, especially the initial part, is difficult solo, you need someone to cover.
i’ve bought every premium base except for the void so far. and i can say with confidence that this is faded’s best one yet. it has the best open core for a small group and a really fun shooting floor. i built this base and had a great time with it, great progression, excellent peeks and it’s just so beautiful. i didn’t struggle with the starter as much as some said. I would HIGHLY recommend 🎉
Hello,
I enjoyed building the base and the compound was awesome! However I didn't have a great experience with the base (not all the bases fault). I believe that I was raided by cheaters who went through the back of the TC (so one metal wall and one armored wall). 24 rockets isn't cheap, but I play a 2x and paired with being offline. Perhaps just unlucky with a cheater knowing where my TC was (or knew the base design). Additionally, I wasn't comfortable with how cheap a raid to the open core would be through doors on a top-down. With all of that being said, I don't regret my purchase, and love Fade's bases. This one perhaps just more of an online defense on vanilla.
For a solo/duo and possibly trio base I love it! I have made a few minor tweaks to better accomidate it to myself and my needs but it's got some great peaks which have really helped me out. I love the watch tower idea. It is a simple base to build from the get go so is great for new buidlers
Just built the base for the first time on console, even without all the dlc options pc has the overall experience with the base was great so far (2 days in so far) the only negative I’ve seen is a door that looses durability but I think that might be fixed with externals.
this base has a very small but large cozy feel to it. i really enjoyed this base, some people complained about the footprint being hard to put down but I think it’s pretty easy. Overall, this base is definitely a 10 out of 10!
I snowballed with this base on a 1000 pop and had a great online raid experience! the peaks are great and there is so much space for what the build cost is. i would 100000% recommend trying this base out it is awesome!
A quick and easy base to build, yet incredibly strong. It has everything you need - simple, efficient, and reliable. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. Faded really delivered with this amazing build.
tutorial was really easy and base is super cozy love the design as a solo base it works alright but its very big and takes some time so its defiantly more viable and fun with friends
The Void is a beautiful base that provides excellent online raid defense capabilities and it also serves as an offline tank. Its bunkers allow you to roam without the fear of being raided while you’re out. I truly couldn’t recommend this base enough!
The base is going pretty solid right now. I am almost done with phase 2, heading into phase 3. It's lasted so far in a server with so many people that every time I log on I have to sit and wait in a 30-person queue. I can't wait to see it fully finished. It's taking me some time because I'm starting on a fresh server with no BP and trying to unlock stuff as I go.
the base is insane ngl and tbh all your base is you doing a great work if i can suggest i would like to see a compact solo base that would be nice sorry about my english !
Didnt feel like a premium build. Deep core design more for a solo, teammates cant walk past me. Seems quite cheap to raid too, got raided twice easily with few rockets (although I can blame the raid success more on me being bad at the game)
