WateryNeos 1 Posted February 21, 2013 So i was wondering if people have used fences and barbed wire and stuff to make there bases more secure, because i've seen that you can pick it up, so can you fortify your base with it? plz tell me if you can because that will be another reason for me to buy arma 2 combined operations before standalones realese!

Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Yes you can use barbed wire to make a barricade. Edited February 21, 2013 by Stoned Orangutan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WateryNeos 1 Posted February 21, 2013 Thank You! When I get the game i'll be sure to hide my base AND surrond it with barrbed wire for extra protection(even if someone else can take it)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thederper121 95 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!Barbed wires, sandbags, and hedgehogs can all be used to secure bases. ALTHOUGH! They have their pros and cons.1: Zombies are able to pass through barbed wire, aswell as any AI.2: Sandbags can easily be vaulted over3: Hedgehogs are very small and it is possible to slip through them.4: Basically all of them are able to be taken down with a toolbox.Thank you for your time.Note: Using barbed wire and sandbags together will make a great anti-player barricade, although pretty much all barricades (except the hedgehog) can be passed through by zombies.Note note: I do not know what zombies can/cannot pass through except for barbed wire, as I have not tested it yet. So please correct me if I am wrong. Edited February 21, 2013 by TheDerper121 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 21, 2013 TBH that rock on the ground is more likely to stop a zombie than barbed wire.I find an DMR round to the head stops zombies well :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

novogeek 253 Posted February 22, 2013 Doesn't double strands of Barbed Wire stop Zombies? I haven't actually tried it ... will give it a bash on my server tonight. :)Also, don't these items eventually disappear after a few days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CS14 133 Posted February 23, 2013 Personally I find putting a bunch of crap around your tents/base/whateveryouwannacallit makes it easier to spot. Find a good hiding spot that isn't near the shore and you should be fine. Go somewhere else, and try to find it a few times. If you can easily spot it, move it until you have difficulty seeing it as you approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought we where talking about setting up a defence point and shooting things in sight at the Elektro firestation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ipartis 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Best base you can make of few tents in the forest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trunkz jr 61 Posted February 25, 2013 Best way to hide your tent is find at minimum 2 pine tree's close together (or 3) and go from there, if you can't access tent by mistake, get URAL and knock tree's down and pack tent, try again :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevilslenderman 6 Posted February 27, 2013 I use tents full of toilet paper to secure my base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
