2k Starter Houses?

Anybody want to share their starter houses? Just died to a self-test in a 24k house and I'm honestly out of new ideas.

Re: 2k Starter Houses?

If you're gonna build something out of the initial 2k. I'd suggest a pincer dog/wife deathtrap. Be creative with it, and make sure to watch it. You may get a huge bounty any time of day, and then someone can take it really quick with a gun and meat.

Although, I'd recommend that you spend a few days robbing and mapping instead. smile

Re: 2k Starter Houses?

I never build without at least 4000 to begin with.

Re: 2k Starter Houses?

A cheap entrance I like to use will force player left or right when they enter, with a commit gate on one option. This pushes the 'just-having-a-peek' people into the other option, where you can tempt them to look around a corner which gives line-of-sight to a pitbull lurking in the first option, preventing them from making it to the door if they want to bail.

It's only a meat away from them escaping of course, but you pick up a few bounties from naked scouts as they often go for that one step to look around the corner and then they're doomed.

Here's the Harris 2k house, which served me well. I made upgrades pretty quickly though, notably adding a pit before the vault.
