PlushSpiffo.pngThis article is about vehicle windows. For building windows, see Window. For the business, see Window (business).

Template:Infobox vehicle part/sandbox A window or windshield is an item forming part of a vehicle. It can be found in four different variants, windshield, rear windshield, front window and rear window. They secure the vehicle against zombies and players. If they take too much damage, they will break.

Usage

Installing/Uninstalling

Windows can be installed and removed with a screwdriver. Each level of mechanics will decrease the chance of causing damage and increase the chance of success. The recommended level will result in no damage, and 100% chance of success, which is level 3 for side windows, and 5 for front and rear windshields. They can be smashed to remove them quicker, however the part will not be recovered.

It is not possible to mix types of vehicle parts. For example, a standard class window or windshield cannot be fitted onto a sport vehicle.

A door must be installed before a side window can be installed to a vehicle, and a window must be removed before a door can be installed.

Securing vehicle

Having car windows fitted in a multiplayer game prevents other players from accessing the vehicle and potentially hot-wiring it. However, players can still smash the window and gain access. Therefore, it is highly recommended to store vehicles in a secure safehouse if possible.

As long as the window is up, zombies will not be able to attack the occupants. However, zombie attacks can break windows given enough time, so it is not recommended to let zombies near the windows when parked.

Vehicular combat

Windows can also be manually opened and closed, at the risk of allowing zombies to attack the occupants. However, opening the 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.

Temperature control

Opening the windows can also cool down the vehicle. However, it may be more effective to use the vehicle's heater to do this.

Condition

A window's condition will decrease if the vehicle crashes into something, or if a zombie or player attacks the window. Windows can be instantly smashed by players, even without a weapon.

Car windows cannot be repaired, meaning the only way to acquire stronger windows is to salvage them from other vehicles.
