Apex Skull
BO2 Build Guide

Layer an angular mechanical skull from horn plates, eye sockets, cheek bones, and exposed teeth.

Build strategy

Plan this emblem before placing shapes.

Set the rear skull mass and horns, construct the forehead and eye sockets, then narrow the silhouette through cheek bones, nasal cavity, jaw, and teeth.

Alignment reference

Keep the defining geometry stable.

Keep the nasal cavity and central forehead on axis, but judge the paired horns and cheeks by their outside silhouette rather than their inner overlap.

LAYER 1

Skull shadow

Begin with skull shadow using Diamond. Place the #171B1E shape in the middle center to establish the supporting silhouette. Keep later shapes inside or deliberately overlapping this first boundary.

Placement reference

Center at approximately 50% from the left and 54% from the top, using the canvas center lines as reference.

Use about 205% horizontal scale and 212% vertical scale relative to the simulator primitive.

What makes this build different

Built with documented BO2 Tools shapes.

Apex Skull uses Diamond, Triangle Wide, Rectangle Medium. Every visible part is a transformed instance of one of those primitives; no imported image, text, or custom polygon is hidden in the result.

Final review

Check the playercard-sized result.

  • The eyes remain the darkest and most aggressive feature.
  • Individual teeth stay visible without widening the lower jaw.
  • All 18 layers use only Diamond, Triangle Wide, Rectangle Medium.
  • The design contains no imported image, text layer, hidden custom path, or direct game-import claim.

Manual reconstruction, not a game import.

This companion saves progress in the browser and shows one native-shape layer at a time, so you can follow the build at your own pace. It never connects to a game account.
