Function

Reinforces windows against zombies.

A barricade is a reinforcement made of wood or metal secured to a door or window as a defensive measure.

Usage

Barricades are used to slow zombies' entry into an area, and are a first step to preventing attacks while asleep. They can be found naturally in the game world, indicating where a survivor has barricaded a house. These houses often contain loot stashes from the previous occupants, who may still be inside.

Barricades will only slow down zombies, not stop them. They are just one method of protecting a safehouse, and should be used alongside others.

As barricades make a lot of sound when attacked, they can be used to alert the player to a zombies presence.

Crafting

Three materials can be used to create barricades: wooden planks, metal sheets, and metal bars.

Product	Ingredients	Tools	Requirements	Workstation	XP
Barricade	One of: Door ×1 Window ×1 Each of: Plank ×1 Nails ×2	Hammer (tag)	none	none	0.75 Carpentry
Barricade (Metal Bars)	One of: Door ×1 Window ×1 Metal Bar ×3	Propane Torch 1 unit(s)    (and) Welder Mask	none	none	1.5 Metalworking
Barricade (Metal Sheet)	One of: Door ×1 Window ×1 Metal Sheet ×1	Propane Torch 1 unit(s)    (and) Welder Mask	none	none	1.5 Metalworking

With one of these combinations in the player's inventory, right-click a door or window and select "Barricade" from the drop-down menu.

Barricades can be placed on both sides of a door or window.

To remove wooden barricades, a hammer or a crowbar can be used to quickly remove barricade planks. Metal barricades must be removed using a propane torch. Metal sheets, bars, and wooden planks can be retrieved, but nails are always lost.

Health

Barricade health is dependent on the material used as well as the skill level of the builder. The barricade health can't be upgraded or repaired, other than taking them out and re-applying when damaged or a higher skill level is reached.

Health per barricade

Skill level	Wood planks	Metal bars	Metal sheet
0	1000 HP	3000 HP	5000 HP
1	1000 HP	3000 HP	5000 HP
2	1100 HP	3300 HP	5500 HP
3	1140 HP	3420 HP	5700 HP
4	1180 HP	3540 HP	5900 HP
5	1220 HP	3660 HP	6100 HP
6	1260 HP	3480 HP	5800 HP
7	1300 HP	3900 HP	6500 HP
8	1340 HP	4020 HP	6700 HP
9	1400 HP	4200 HP	7000 HP
10	1500 HP	4500 HP	7500 HP

Barricaded doors or windows are undamaged until their barricades are fully destroyed, enhancing protection.

A wooden barricade's durability depends on the plank's condition. As it's damaged, so are the planks. To repair, replace damaged planks with fresh ones.
