Secondary Bunker
Overview
A secondary bunker is the follow up position a player advances to after their breakout bunker, chosen to increase angle control, survivability, or tactical leverage early in the point.
Key Points
- Represents the player's intended second stop after the breakout.
- Provides stronger angles or safer containment positions.
- Dependent on field layout, role, and team strategy.
- Often determines early game tempo and map influence.
- Chosen based on scouting, timing windows, and lane patterns.
Details
The secondary bunker is the second planned position a player moves to after the breakout. It is a core part of structured field planning: teams pre designate secondary bunkers based on lane density, bunker spacing, aggression level, and opponent tendencies. Secondary bunkers often provide stronger gun angles or safer cover than breakout bunkers, which are typically chosen for survivability rather than influence.
Examples include snake inserts, dorito corners, center wedges, and small cans that serve as stepping stones for deeper pushes. The transition to a secondary bunker is a timing sensitive move; players must anticipate opponent reloads, wrap attempts, or lane collapses before leaving their breakout bunker.
Strong teams rehearse secondary bunker movement extensively to create synchronized early game pressure.
