Inception Antivirus Base

Legacy Lore

This page contains many lore elements that are not considered part of the new, official lore. It's very unlikely that it will still be considered canon for new lore, but will maintain relevance in old lore.

The Inception Antivirus Base is a building that is a base for Firewall Security.

Its name comes from the company who created the Firewall antivirus, which is also called Inception Antivirus. In-game, all Firewalls spawn inside of this building.

There are also jump pads that are on both on the roofs of the Cookie Factory and Databank that lead to the base.

Interior Sections[]

Ground Floor[]

A large area that has a large triangular desk in the center of it, several benches placed around the area, an entrance to the basement area, and two ramps which lead to the upper floor. There are also windows by the entryway of the area. It is the first area that entities will encounter if the building is entered from the main entryway.

Notably, there are also two Firewall NPCs near the entrance to the other floors. These are currently the only accessible NPCs in the game. They stay in one spot and say different lines depending on the type of character you're playing as, sometimes turning their heads to face specific characters.

Upper Floor[]

A large area that has two statues of standard Firewall units on either side of it, a balcony with a man cannon/jump pad at its edge, and a hallway that leads to the room where Firewall characters spawn. There are also windows by the balcony area.

Lower Floor[]

A large area that has two sections. The first section has brown crates in the middle of it, two ramps that lead to the ground floor, and an entryway into the second section. The entryway to the second section has a large door that must be opened by Firewall-related entities in order to access the second section. The second section has 7 containment cells within it, with one of the 7 cells being larger than the other ones. The regular-sized cells are labeled 1-6, while the large cell is labeled "MAX". These cells are functional can be opened by Firewall-related entities. In addition to the cells, there is a large triangular section in the middle of the floor. This section is blocked off by a see-through plate and appears to go very deep into the ground. This section contains additional decorative cells, implying that canonically the base has many more cells than what players can access.

More Facts[]

On July 3, 2021, the Inception Antivirus base's interior was updated to its current design. Previously, the interior had been more barren.
- The basement was once a barren and spacious room. It was most likely empty due to being under construction. However, as of July 3, 2021, the basement is no longer barren and has jail cells inside of it.
Earlier in Databrawl's development, the Inception Antivirus Base's basement was only accessible via clipping-related glitches. This was due to the fact that the area was blocked off by a large orange barrier with the words "Area Under Construction" written on it. However, as of July 23, 2021, the basement is now accessible via normal means.
A long time ago in 2017-2018, the Inception Antivirus base used to have Firewall statues in front of it, one statue on the left side, one statue on the right side. The statue on the left side of the building was a standard Firewall Security unit, while the statue on the right was a Firewall Executor.
In older versions of the Inception Antivirus base, there were jail cells (which were not the same ones as the jail cells seen in the current version of the building) with see-through doors that were used to hold Corruptions and other bad entities. In Databrawl (battle version), all of these jail cells were filled with NPC Corruptions, most of which were Viruses and Malware. In one cell however, there was a terrified Program being cornered by a Virus Brawler, presumably placed there as a joke by either DuncanDunclub or Saezi. In this same cell, Ransomware and Spyware could be seen. Meanwhile, in Databrawl Roleplay, some of the jails cells were empty. The empty jail cells were functional, being able to be opened and stepped into.
- At one point in Databrawl's late alpha stage of development, in the Inception Antivirus base, the jail cells in the aforementioned fact did not have NPC Corruptions regardless of whether the game was the battle version or Databrawl Roleplay. The jail cells also had a different design whereas they had jail cell bars (like a jail cell/cage in real life), and no see-through doors, just a gaping entryway for each cell. These cells could simply be walked into. The design for these cells was the direct result of the fact that certain earlier versions of Inception Antivirus were reskinned versions of the police building in Protest Simulator (Databrawl's predecessor).
There was an update to the Inception Antivirus base's appearance on August 21, 2019.
In 2018, the Inception Antivirus base used to have stairs that led up to the other floors inside of it. These were first replaced with ladders, then those were replaced with jump pads. Afterwards, the jump pads were replaced with ramps that lead up to the other floors.
There were once constraint removers inside of the base, and they were used to remove the collars of friendly entities who had been captured by Corruptions. These had been added to the base sometime in 2018 then removed from the base sometime in 2019.
In the old days of Databrawl (2017-2018), the Inception Antivirus base did not have barriers. However, around September 2018, the base was changed to have a barrier around it. However, on May 17, 2020, the barrier was finally removed, and the building was moved a bit closer to the road.
One of the new things in January 21st, 2021’s Battle Mode update was that Programs could no longer enter the base unless the windows were shattered. This was made to prevent camping at the base, something a lot of players did. However, on July 23, 2021, this change was undone, allowing characters on the Program team to enter the base via normal means once more.
Notably, when approaching the right Firewall NPC as an Eggram, they face their entire body towards you. Additionally, their name in the chatlogs will be "Ted" instead of "Firewall Unit", or "Guard #0167", the right unit's name when playing as a Firewall-related character.
Strangely, the left Firewall NPC's name will be displayed as "Guard Unit #3207" only when approaching as a Processor Priest.
