This article is about vehicle windows. For building windows, see Window.

A car window is an item forming part of a vehicle, and can be found in four different variants, windshield, rear windshield, front window and rear window.

Usage

A windshield is fitted onto the front of a vehicle, a rear windshield on the back, with front and rear windows on the side. Having a fitted car window will protect the player from zombie attacks, so long as the window isn't open. If a window sustains enough damage, it will eventually break, leaving the player susceptible to attacks.

Having car windows fitted in a multiplayer game prevents other players from accessing the vehicle and potentially hot-wiring it.

A car window can be smashed, allowing the player to open a locked car door though an alarm can be triggered.

Opening the vehicle's window allows the player to shoot from inside the vehicle whilst driving or when stationary. You will need either a Handgun, Shotgun or a Rifle equipped to be able to do this. Press and hold down the right mouse button to aim your weapon, and press the left mouse button to fire.

It was briefly possible to use melee weapons to attack from inside the vehicle, but it was disabled in build Hotfix 41.78.12.
