One of BMWs original targets in coming to Rusty Bottoms was Jaq, a known Twitch streamer on the server, and many of the groups early exploits were in stream sniping then raiding his iceberg base. This cultivated a very healthy rivalry between the two groups. | One of BMWs original targets in coming to Rusty Bottoms was Jaq, a known Twitch streamer on the server, and many of the groups early exploits were in stream sniping then raiding his iceberg base. This cultivated a very healthy rivalry between the two groups. As such, Jaq kept close contact with Cal Worthington, even informing him of their intention to raid the [[DREADFORT]] on a certain day, giving BMW ample time to prepare. Furthermore, as he was still an active streamer, BMW was able to get notice mere minutes before the raid started, allowing further preparedness. | ||
Crews were sent out to clear the surrounding forests to prevent any blind spots that the raiders might leverage against the defenders and ancillary bases were emptied of any relevant or precious resources and materials. | |||

At 21:06, the first waves of HRs forces approached the DREADFORT and were met with oppressive sniper fire. However, using the outskirts of the DREADFORT complexes eastern walls, they were able to get close enough to the north eastern inner walls of the DREADFORTS courtyard, which they quickly breached. In quick succession they sent several rocket volleys at the base of the DREADFORT. A sortie mission led by Cal Worthington was dispatched and halted the raiders, allowing a engineer team headed by Taylor and [[Rejdukien]] time to make repairs to the DREADFORT itself. By this point, HR was able to regroup and pushed back on the breached wall. Rej and Taylors group was pinned down in the hollowed out walls by gunfire but was able to keep the raiding party at bay intime for repairs to be made to the exterior walls of the courtyard. | |||
HR from here began to fall apart. They briefly tried throwing themselves against the wall again, but were met with rounds of bullets as well as anti-personnel rockets. They had been routed and retreated. | |||
