- "The brain rot has begun!"
- ―Headache Headquarters being activated
Description
[edit]Headache Headquarters was a map set in a laboratory, only playable by sending "dop dop yes yes" in chat on Wave 0 during April Fools, after the mode/map vote but before the first wave starts. It has been made available through Sandbox mode, without the Brain Rot modifier being applied. Triumphing this map for the first time gave the Toilet Scout skin, if the player did not have it already. Otherwise, the rewards were the same as Easy mode, but boosted by 50% (60% if the map originally chosen had All Paths).
Headache Headquarters had the Brain Rot modifier, which replaced all enemies except the Necromancer, Speedy Boss, Enraged and Brute. Additionally, based on the map that was chosen in the beginning, it may have had additional modifiers, like the Talk Like a Pirate Day or All Paths. While they would not make the map harder, they would affect the appearance of enemies or increase the rewards. When opened in Sandbox mode, it has no modifiers.
Design & Path
[edit]Headache Headquarters takes place in a laboratory. The room the map is located in has grey walls and floor. It is quite empty, only having a few grey crates and what appears to be multiple monitors close to each other. On the walls, multiple screens can be found. There are also a few windows and gates, through which various halls are visible. These halls have doors, vending machines and benches. Multiple grey metal pipes can also be found on the walls.
The black path starts at the black door and ends at the white one. The path goes straight and then makes two loops, with a single straight path between them. After these two loops, the path goes straight again.
Interactive Map
[edit]The <a href="/w/Map:Headache_Headquarters" title="Map:Headache Headquarters">data map's source code</a> no longer passes data validation. Please fix the errors.
Rewards
[edit]The game calculated how many Coin Coins and Experience EXP you received based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more Experience EXP (Friday – Sunday), any Experience EXP earned was multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplied any Experience EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts were additive. Regular Experience EXP boosts were multiplicative with other modifiers present on this map.
Any rewards that ended in a decimal point was rounded down, no matter the first figure of the leading decimal.
When activated in Sandbox mode, it gives no rewards. When activated in a real match, rewards were calculated as:
| April Fools 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
| (Coin 200 ÷ (1 + [(20 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 50 (Triumph Only)) × 1.5 | (Experience 50 EXP ÷ (1 + [(20 ÷ Current Wave) - 1])) × 1.5 |
| April Fools 2025 | |
| Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
| (Coin 250 ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 50 (Triumph Only)) × 1.5 | (Experience 50 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1])) × 1.5 |
| April Fools 2024 | |
| Coins Reward | EXP Reward |
| (Coin 200 ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + Coin 100 (Triumph Only)) × 1.5 | (Experience 50 EXP ÷ (1 + [(25 ÷ Current Wave) - 1])) × 1.5 |
Triumphing it for the first time in a real match also gave the Toilet Scout skin.
Badges
[edit]There was also one badge which can be obtained when playing on this map. It is:
Wave Structure
[edit]The wave structure was similar to Easy mode's but most enemies were replaced by their stronger variants because of the Brain Rot modifier.
- The Toilet replaced the Normal.
- The Streamer replaced the Speedy.
- The Chad replaced the Slow.
- The Metal Toilet replaced the Normal Boss.
- The Ninja Toilet replaced the Hidden.
- The Png Bot2 replaced the Breaker2.
- The Brick Man replaced the Skeleton.
- The Armored Toilet replaced the Armored.
- The Megatron Toilet replaced the Slow Boss.
- The Pro Streamer replaced the Hidden Boss, though this cannot be seen due to the Hidden Boss being removed entirely from Easy mode.
- The Arrow replaced the Bolt, though this cannot be seen due to Enraged replacing the Bolt.
- The Png Bot4 replaced the Breaker4, though this cannot be seen due to Breaker4 being removed entirely from Easy mode.
- The Toilet Boss replaced the Grave Digger, though this cannot be seen due to Brute replacing the Grave Digger.
The Necromancer also had its health increased to 1,200.
The waves in Headache Headquarters followed these timings: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Dev:Tabber' not found.
Bolded names indicate an enemy type's debut.
| Wave | Commander Dialogue | Enemy Type & Amount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zombies are on their way. Prepare to defend! | 4x Toilet | |
| Make sure to place down some units near the path and upgrade them. Together, we've got this. | |||
| 2 | Alright! There are some Speedy enemies coming. They're fast, but weak. | 4x Toilet, 2x Streamer | |
| You might need some more units to help defend if one slips by, so make sure your towers have enough path coverage to deal with them. | |||
| 3 | - | 4x Streamer, 10x Toilet | |
| 4 | Up ahead are some Large Zombies. They're slow but have a lot of health. | 4x Streamer, 6x Toilet, 3x Chad | |
| You can command some of your towers to prioritize stronger targets, but make sure to keep a few focused on the weaker ones otherwise they might get by. | |||
| 5 | - | 5x Toilet, 6x Chad | |
| 6 | Heads up! You have a Boss Zombie coming! They can have special attributes that make them resistant to certain attacks. | 4x Chad, 8x Streamer, 1x Metal Toilet (Boss) | |
| Professor V has given us the technology that lets us see their stats and modifiers if you select them. | |||

| 9 | - | 1x Metal Toilet, 7x Ninja Toilet, 5x Streamer (Bloated), 1x Metal Toilet | |

| 11 | - | 5x Png Bot2, 5x Ninja Toilet, 1x Metal Toilet, 5x Ninja Toilet, 5x Png Bot2 | |

| You might want to try prioritizing them here. | |||
| 13 | - | 4x Png Bot2, 6x Armored Toilet, 4x Png Bot2 | |
| 14 | You're doing great, keep it up! Those armored enemies are tougher to deal with, but I'm sure you've got enough upgrades to deal with them | 4x Png Bot2, 6x Armored Toilet, 7x Ninja Toilet (Bloated), 6x Png Bot2, 6x Armored Toilet, 2x Metal Toilet (Bloated) | |

| 16 | Woah! Did you feel the ground shake? Something big is coming! | 6x Png Bot2, 4x Ninja Toilet (Bloated), 6x Armored Toilet, 1x Megatron Toilet (Boss) | |
| We're not out of this yet, so don't get comfortable! | |||
| 17 | It's those fast zombies again! Slowing units like Freezer can give our team more time to take them down. | 10x Chad (Bloated, Nimble), 4x Enraged, 6x Png Bot2, 6x Enraged | |
| 18 | - | 4x Png Bot2, 6x Armored Toilet, 1x Necromancer, 6x Armored Toilet, 6x Enraged, 1x Necromancer, 4x Png Bot2 | |
| 19 | - | 7x Enraged, 7x Png Bot2, 1x Metal Toilet (Bloated), 1x Megatron Toilet, 8x Png Bot2 (Bloated), 3x Png Bot3 | |

Strategy
[edit]- The Ace Pilot can be useful here, as this map has two loops which are ideal for its circling range.
- As the paths are quite close to each other, high range towers like the Turret, Mortar or Ranger can easily cover most or all of the path on this map.
- While this map has quite a lot of cliffs, most of it far away from the path, while the ones close to it are limited, making cliff towers less useful here.
- The Ranger, because of its high range, can actually reach all the paths on most spots, making it still useful.
Original Strategy
[edit]This section contains strategy for Headache Headquarters in its Aprilini Foolsini Eventini state. While it could still be used if the player attempts to recreate it by applying the Brain Rot modifier and starting an Easy mode match, due to changes with the game this may not be perfectly accurate.
- You can earn extra money before the mode starts by placing a Farm and upgrading it before saying "dop dop yes yes". You will be awarded the cash spent on the Farm and the extra amount it generated, allowing the purchase of upgrades or towers that you could not normally afford on the first wave.
- It is recommended to select a map with the All Paths modifier, like Infernal Abyss or Winter Stronghold, as modifiers are carried over from previous map to Headache Headquarters. While this does not make the match harder, since the map only has one path, it will increase the rewards gotten at the end of the match.
- Early-game towers with decent DPS, like the Golden Scout, Electroshocker, Golden Cowboy or Militant can be very effective here.
- High DPS towers like the the Accelerator or Minigunner are recommended though it may be hard to afford them due to how little cash the enemies give, especially in higher player counts.
- The Ace Pilot and Pursuit can be useful here, as this map has two loops which are ideal for their circling range.
- The Medic can be useful at shielding towers from stuns while providing minor buffs.
- The Commander and DJ Booth are highly recommended on this map.
- The Commander can be useful at boosting your tower's firerate, giving them more DPS and making dealing with the much stronger enemies easier.
- The DJ Booth can be useful at increasing the range of your towers, in some cases allowing them to cover most of the map, while also decreasing their upgrade costs.
Trivia
[edit]- Headache Headquarters was based on the Skibidi Bunker, which originates from episodes 67-70 of Skibidi Toilet.
- When going out of bounds using free cam, an image of the Prowler Goku meme could be found.
