Doors and Building Barricades

Last checked · Checked against the development build

How do you build barricades in Stillskin Forest?

Equip a Hammer, hold the click on a surface, drag to where you want the plank to end, and release to nail it. Planks are unlimited; each costs one point of hammer durability. An infected with a plank in its way claws at it and needs six hits to break it. Doors help too: the infected can't open them and need eight hits to bash one open.

Doors

Stillwater has 29 working doors. Press E to open or close one; it swings away from you. Infected can't open doors; they bash a closed one, which bursts open after eight hits. Every door is shut and repaired at the start of each run.

A green ghost board shows while you drag if the plank will fit. Planks can't overlap a player or an infected. A broken or pried plank falls and fades away.
