Cake Bunker (Tall)

Tall cake bunkers are vertically extended cylindrical bunkers used to offer substantial upper body protection in competitive field layouts. Their height provides additional clearance for players to operate with increased visibility while still remaining protected behind a consistent cylindrical structure.

Placed commonly in mid field positions, tall cakes help shape vertical lane control and provide stable posts for observing multiple angles. Their geometry allows players to monitor central and tape side activity while maintaining predictable engagement surfaces. Unlike larger rectangular bunkers, tall cakes achieve vertical protection without occupying significant field space.

In many layouts, tall cakes are paired with small cakes to establish height variation across center routes. This creates layered elevations that influence snapshot angles, visual blocking, and the progression of movement through the middle of the field.

Tall cakes remain a consistent element of modern airball sets due to their balance of vertical protection, moderate footprint, and adaptability within different layout styles.
