Shooting Through Doors, Windows and Glass
Last checked · Checked against the development build
Can you shoot through doors and windows in Stillskin Forest?
Yes. A bullet flies through open doorways, shatters window glass and carries on (90% damage), and punches through a closed door or a thin wooden board for about half damage, up to two in a row. Concrete, plaster, brick, metal, rock and thick walls stop it. Any bullet breaks a window pane outright; melee chips at it with the weapon's own damage, and the infected break one in eight blows.

What a bullet goes through
| In the way | What happens | Damage left |
|---|---|---|
| Open doorway, anything you can see or walk through | Passes | 100% |
| Window or car glass | Shatters and passes | 90% |
| Closed door, plank wall, thin wooden board | Punches through (a wall-bang), at most two | 55% per layer |
| Concrete, plaster, brick, metal, rock, thick walls, the ground | Stops the bullet | 0% |
Shots are traced from your eye to the crosshair, so standing right next to a car, a fence or a wall doesn't block a shot you can see. Standing on a car and shooting an infected at its wheels works. A headshot through a door still hurts more than a body shot, but it is no longer an instant kill.

Breaking glass is loud: it draws infected from about 45 studs. A broken pane leaves the frame open, so you can climb through a window big enough to fit. Every window is whole again at the start of a new run.
