Military Tunnels is the only monument that demands the complete chain — green, blue, and red cards on one belt — and defends its loot with the most aggressive scientist garrison on land.

Why you’re here

The richest guaranteed elite room of the classic monuments: three elite crates plus military and normal crates behind the final red door, with more elites on the rail car along the way. Every run is also a scientist fight, which means weapon and ammo drops on top of the crates.

The layout

A bunker complex burrowed into a mountain: surface guardhouses lead to rail tunnels, an armory, laboratories, and the final timed red door. Scientists patrol in squads and hear gunfire from rooms away — the route rewards deliberate clearing over sprinting. Radiation stays around the 25-protection band.
