A barricade is wood or metal placed onto a door or window as a defense measure. It's useful in controlling how quickly zombies are able to enter an area and is a essential requirement to keeping a house secure while sleeping.

Barricades can be found naturally in the gameworld where a former survivor has barricaded a house.
Beware that sometimes these houses are full of zombies as the barricades keep them inside as well.

Barricading

To Barricade

To barricade an object with a wooden plank, you must have a hammer, a wooden plank and nails in your inventory.
To barricade an object with metal sheets, you must have a welder, a welding mask and a metal sheet in your inventory.

Right click onto the selected door or window and this will bring up a drop down menu where you can choose to "Barricade".

To undo a Barricade

If you wish to remove a wooden barricade, you will need to use a hammer, and you will get wood planks back.
If you wish to remove a metal barricade, you will need to use a welder and welding mask, and once done you will get the metal sheet back.

Strength of Barricades

Wooden Barricade strength is dependant on the wooden plank that has been placed on the window. As the barricade becomes damaged, the planks themselves become damaged. To restore the health of the barricade, a fresh non-damaged plank must be placed after the older planks are taken down. Doors/Windows which are barricaded are protected from damage until the last wooden plank is removed either by the player or by zombie attack.

A metal barricade currently (Version 36.4) is dependant on its HP and will simply break over time. (this is a assumption)

Effects of Barricade

Barricades can delay zombies breaking in by ingame hours, and buys a player time to evacuate or if possible, defend from intruders attempting to break in by leaving via another entrance.

Window Barricade Effects

A barricaded window with 1-2 planks can be viewed through, assuming a curtain/sheet is not down on the window. This allows for some measure of protection while looking out at what is attacking the window. A window with 3-4 planks OR a metal sheet cannot be seen through and there will be no way to see how many zombies are outside or if it is a safe exit to take. A window without a barricade is extremely fragile.

Door Barricade Effects

A barricaded door is unopenable, so think carefully on placement of barricades incase a door is breached that another exit is possible.

+== Strength of Barricades ==
-If you remove a barricade with the [[hammer]], you will get [[Wooden Plank|wood planks]] back.{{fact}}
-'''=== Doors ==='''
-====Effects====
-Barricading a [[door]] will add 10 health. You can barricade up to four times since 1.5d, giving the door a potential health of 45 (4 planks + base door health). However, barricading a door will prevent anyone (NPCs/Players) from opening it, and to open that door, the barricade must be removed.
-====Uses====
-Barricading a door will stall zombie entry, a well-barricaded door can survive almost a day and a half from the attack of a dozen Zombies, while a non barricaded door will fall in about 2 hours from a dozen Zombies. However, when barricading, the player should remember to leave one door alone, as barricaded doors cannot open, unlike regular doors.
+Wooden Barricade strength is dependant on the wooden plank that has been placed on the window. As the barricade becomes damaged, the planks themselves become damaged. To restore the health of the barricade, a fresh non-damaged plank must be placed after the older planks are taken down. Doors/Windows which are barricaded are protected from damage until the last wooden plank is removed either by the player or by zombie attack.

-'''===Windows==='''
+== Health of Barricade ==
-====Effects====
-Barricading a [[window]] will block the window, preventing both the player and [[zombie]]s from seeing through to the other side. Each window barricade adds 10 to the total window health, with a maximum health of 40.5 (4 barricades + window base health).
-====Uses====
-Neither zombies nor humans can see through a barricaded window with either three or four wooden planks, although putting a sheet on the window is a much better alternative, because it doesn't require as many items as a barricade. A barricade's main purpose is to stall the zombie from breaking a window, a well-barricaded window can survive a full day from the hammering of 10 zombies, while a plain window will fall in 30 minutes from 3 zombies. However, if one wants to barricade all windows of any structure to the maximum level, it will take a considerable amount of resources.
