Introduction: The Nightmare of Spawn Camping
We have all been there. You just loaded into Roblox Gun Tycoon, entered your base, and started buying your first droppers. Suddenly, a max-level player with a glowing Gold Skin jumps over your unfinished walls and blasts you with an RPG. You respawn, and they kill you again. And again.
Spawn killers and trolls can ruin the Gun Tycoon experience, especially for new players trying to grind their way to the top. But don’t worry—you don’t have to quit the server.
In this complete Base Defense Guide for 2026, I will show you exactly how to secure your base, lock out annoying players, and defend your cash effectively.
Step 1: The “Lockdown” Build Priority
Most beginners make a huge mistake: they spend all their starting cash on weapons they lose when they die, or on decorations. If you want to stop trolls, your first priority is structural defense.
Here is the exact build order you should follow to secure your base within the first 10 minutes:
| Priority | Defense Upgrade | Why You Need It ASAP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basic Laser Doors | Stops enemies from simply walking into your base to steal your cash drops. |
| 2 | 1st Floor Walls (Full) | Blocks snipers from shooting you through open gaps while you collect money. |
| 3 | Roof / Ceiling | Crucial! Prevents high-level players from using jetpacks or high jumps to drop in from above. |
| 4 | Security Turrets | Automated defense that chips away at the health of anyone trying to glitch through your walls. |
Always prioritize these upgrades before buying expensive guns.

Step 2: Stop Glitchers and Wall-Hoppers
Even with walls and doors, some persistent trolls use Roblox physics glitches to clip through walls or jump over them. Here is how you counter them:
- Claim Your Forcefield: When you first spawn, you have a temporary protective forcefield. DO NOT pull out a weapon immediately! Equipping a gun removes your forcefield. Use this safe time to collect cash and buy walls.
- Stay Away from the Edges: Weapons with area-of-effect (AOE) damage, like rocket launchers, can sometimes deal damage through thin walls. When collecting your money, stand directly on the collection pad, as far from the outer walls as possible.
Step 3: Best Budget Weapons for Self-Defense
You can’t hide forever. Eventually, you will need to fight back or clear a troll who managed to sneak inside. You don’t need a Billion-dollar weapon to defend yourself; you need something fast and reliable.
Top 3 Defense Weapons for Beginners:
- Tactical Shotgun: Perfect for close-quarters combat inside your base. If a troll glitches through your door, one blast at close range will send them back to the spawn screen.
- Assault Rifle (Basic): Great for peeking over your own walls and shooting players trying to camp outside your lasers.
- Flashbangs / Grenades: If a max-level player is camping your spawn pad, throw a grenade immediately upon respawning before your forcefield drops.

Step 4: The Ultimate Defense — Strategic AFK
Sometimes, the server is just too toxic. If multiple clans or max-level players are targeting you, the smartest defense is not to fight—it’s to outsmart them while you sleep.
By finding a secure spot inside your fully roofed base and setting up an auto-clicker, you can farm millions while the trolls waste their time outside.

Summary
Don’t let spawn killers ruin your grind. Build your walls early, keep your forcefield up as long as possible, equip a shotgun for close encounters, and use AFK strategies to bypass the toxic hours. Stay safe, Tycoon!
