Skin Trivia

  • The units of the second version of the Default Military Base were all made by GregTame.
  • Despite the Railgun Tank having a humanoid riding the vehicle, it had no face meaning the Military Base had no Funny Faces.
  • The upgrade icon for the Level 3 Military Base does not show the barbed wire on the bullbar, unlike the original Humvee 3 model.
  • The original version of the Humvee 3 and a khaki version of the second version of the Tank appeared in the second and third versions of Forest Camp.
  • The original variant of Tank appeared to be based on a typical tank chassis, similar to that of the Leopard 2.
  • The Classic skin for the Military Base uses the same humanoid found in the Ace Pilot and Mecha Base.
  • Despite the Classic skin being based on the first version of the Default skin, it does not include the Motorcycle.
  • Weirdly, the Level 0-2 Classic skin has the Truck 3 parked near it, despite not spawning that unit until Level 3.
  • The Apocalyptic Railgun Tank was actually to the game as a unit in the Frost Invasion Update.
  • The Cyber vehicle is based on the real life Tesla Cybertruck.
    • Its release had caused controversy among the community, due to actions of Elon Musk shortly before the release of the skin.[1]
  • The number in the name of the Base 1776 skin, "1776", is a reference to the year in which the United States of America adopted its Declaration of Independence.
  • The Pirate skin actually had a custom plane made for it, which can even be seen in the background of the thumbnail for v2.3.0, specifically the one with the Pirate Crate skins, though it was not added to the game.
