Bunker Rush

TvZ
Terran

A cheese strategy where an SCV is sent across the map early to build a bunker at or near the Zerg's natural expansion. Once marines load in, the bunker can deny the hatchery entirely or force Zerg to invest heavily in zerglings and sunken colonies, delaying their economy significantly.

Execution is critical: send the SCV after your first barracks starts, and position the bunker where it covers the natural hatchery. If the bunker completes and loads two marines, it can be game-ending. Have a second SCV follow for repairs. Continue marine production at home.

This build is strongest on short rush distance maps like Destination where the SCV arrives before Zerg has scouted. It is a high-risk, high-reward gamble — if scouted early, the SCV and minerals are wasted and you fall behind. Transition into a standard expansion if the rush does damage but does not kill. Weak against overlord scouting that spots the incoming SCV.
