A metal window is a constructable wall tile used for shelter and defense. It has a hole that a window can be placed into.

Usage

Metal 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.

Metal windows can be destroyed with a sledgehammer. They cannot be plastered.

Crafting

To construct a metal window, the player must be at least metalworking level 2, and have already constructed either a wooden wall frame or a metal wall frame. The plyer can then right click on the frame, and choose the level of window they wish to construct, so long as they meet the construction requirements.

Health

The HP of a window is the same as a wall, and is determined from it's base material, the skill level of the builder, and the wall's level.

Trivia

• Although a metal windows will have the same health as an identical wall, zombies will attack the window or barricades first, then climb through the hole. This should be taken into account when using windows in a vulnerable location.
• When on a floor level 2 or higher, a sheet rope can also be placed in a metal window to allow for an escape route in a structure.
