Description
Level 229 is a military base of U.S. origin, military buildings seen in a military base are present such as bunkers and storage facilities. The level's atmosphere is grey and dark but it has a normal day-night cycle. Between buildings, there is grass which was been identified as Bouteloua dactyloides, there is also trees which have been identified as Quercus alba.
Despite this, Level 229 has vast amounts of supplies; there are weapons, notably military grade guns and vast amounts of other gear such as almond water, flashlights, ballistic vests, etc. this makes Level 229 a high-risk, high-reward level.
In Level 229, almost all buildings are non-Euclidian, as an example a training facility was about 10 feet high, however when inside the building the roof was about 30 feet high, this is also the same for the length and width. Level 229 also has a 10.107 gravity level, however, there is also parts of the level that have no gravity at all, though they are very rare.
There are 2 types of entities on this level, Counter Entities and Facelings. Counter Entities new the main entity on this level and is one of the reasons you don't see entities like smilers, hounds and partygoers, they guard the level in groups of 5-17 and will preform military exercises, a thing they only do on this level, they are also hostile to any survivor that enters the level, despite counter entities in almost every other level acting neutral. Facelings in this level are wear clothing that civilian roles in the military wear, such as suits, doctor clothing, janitorial, etc, however they have a chance of attacking you in this level.
Due to the nature of this level it is recommended that you try to leave this level immediately, however if you are planning to grab supplies it is recommended you come equip with a weapon and proper gear, and a decent no clipping ability to get to level 11.
