- Temple: A four-sided pyramid with the top cut off.
- X: A bunker shaped like an x. Used solely for X-ball.
- Brick: A rectangular bunker.
- Dollhouse: A PRiSM which has three FACES and two bases. It is longer than it is tall.
- Carwash: An arching bunker which is longer than wide.
- Snake: A snake is a long, low structure (less than 1 meter (3 feet) high) usually located on one or both sides of a field.

It is also GeneRally placed at midfield and gives the best position to fire on the opposing team.
