  • Common in modern competitive bunker sets

Details

The Giant Brick is a prominent mid field bunker known for its width and capacity to block several sightlines simultaneously. Its rectangular structure creates a substantial visual and physical barrier, affecting how players approach the center of the field. Because it limits multiple angles at once, layout designers frequently use Giant Bricks to define the tempo of mid field engagements and create stable areas for repositioning.

Giant Bricks often serve as anchor points, allowing players to pause, gather information, or coordinate transitions during early and mid game stages. Their broad surface provides predictable cover and obstructs diagonal and straight lanes, shaping how opponents advance through the center.

On defense, the Giant Brick slows down aggressive central pushes by forcing attacking players to navigate restricted angles and commit to defined movement routes. On offense, the bunker offers a secure staging point for coordinated progression into deeper positions, supporting structured central advances.

Due to their ability to influence layout shape, block wide lines, and contribute to balanced mid field interactions, Giant Bricks remain a recurring feature in contemporary bunker kits.
