A wooden window is a structure that the player can build to fortify a structure, or in the creation of new buildings.

In-game screenshot of wooden windows at different levels in order from left to right.

Usage

Wooden windows are a defensive structure that can be built to seal entranceways, reinforce entry/exit points, and can be used in the creation of completely new structures. The window allows for the installation of windows picked up from other structures, as well as barricades to be erected over the window.

Window frames with a broken or no window, can be climbed through by zombies, so long as they are not barricaded.

Wooden windows can be destroyed with a sledgehammer. They can also be plastered and painted using paint and a paintbrush.

Construction

Right-clicking on the wooden frame shows the upgrade menu.

To build a wooden window, the player must have a hammer, planks, and nails in their inventory. The ingredients must be either in the player's inventory, or within reach on the floor. First, the player must build a wooden frame via the carpentry context menu, accessed by right-clicking. Once the frame is built, the player can then upgrade the wall as required by using the context menu again, this time on the already built frame. The level of window available is based on the player's carpentry level. Level 1 and 2 windows can be upgraded to a better level after construction.

Skill requirements

• Level 1 window: Carpentry 2
• Level 2 window: Carpentry 4
• Level 3 window: Carpentry 7

Trivia

• A sheet rope can also be placed in a wooden window to allow for an escape route in a structure.
