Homebase Storm Shield Defense Level Three

Your third Storm Shield defense is your first storm shield defense that isn't a tutorial anymore. Now you will be expected to know what to do and when to do it. It's a good idea to farm your zone for materials if you haven't already. There are a lot of valuable herbs and other materials you will find useful in your future journies.

This defense is a lot like your first two defenses, except that it introduces a third wave to defend against and a new husk type called, "Sploder." They can be a real pain if they get close enough to your base or to a player to light up their propane tanks. When they light the propane tank up, they will target someone or something to blow up. Throwing the propane tank, which explodes after a small duration. If you allow it to go off, expect everything to go boom. Hard. By boom, we mean it will be gone. Floors, walls, traps, players, etc. will all be gone.

There are a few ways to counter the Sploder husks. Either before or after they set off the propane tank.

  • Kill the Sploder husks before they get close enough to destroy anything. Traps work great in tunnels or weapons out in the open. Using Abilities and Gadgets are a few other ways to do it without risk. You can also shoot the propane tank to make it go off prematurely, if you won't blow any structures up in the process.
  • Use your pickaxe to hit the propane tank somewhere else. Be quick about it though.
  • You can build to shield the blast. Pyramids work great at trapping them and absorbing the blast. Metal pyramids are bigger than wood or stone. If you aren't worried about anything except you, you can put a quick wall up between you and tank before it explodes.
  • You can lure the throw away from any potential damage by having Sploder husks target you away from your structures.
