Best Base Locations in Escalation

Survival is the top priority of many Unturned players in Escalation. So, what better way to survive than to build an impregnable base at the appropriate location? Keep reading to know some of the best locations to build a base in the Unturned Escalation map:

Cave West of Parkwood

This cave has a single entry point, allowing you to bolster defenses at that location while bottlenecking enemies. Additionally, a fairly large town is to the east, while a dead zone is to the west of this location. These nearby areas can be excellent sources of weapons and resources.

Cave East of TKR Industrial

This cavern in the Unturned Escalation map is larger than the cave to the west of Parkwood. Although this cave has additional entrances, the larger space allows you to place more defensive structures, such as sentries, around the area. Alternatively, you may seal the other entrances to force enemies to one entry point, bottlenecking them.

Cave South of TKR Industrial

Walk slightly south of TKR Industrial to find a cave with one opening. This particular cavern is unique to the other caves because of that small entrance. You can seal the entry point, hiding your base from prying eyes.

Escalation Item IDs

Unturned server administrators or players with the appropriate user level can spawn items in Escalation. Start by pressing the “J” keyboard key (by default) to open the cheat input box. Then, type “@give [item ID]” (without the quotes) to give yourself the item. Below are all the item IDs in the Unturned Escalation map:
