Barbed wire removal

[s2ua7 12]

Is there any way that we can make it any easier to remove barbed wire? I don't mean make it so that we do not need the tool chest, but rather make the spot where you click to remove a little easier to find. I played on three or four servers over the past couple of days where the starting area buildings were completely blocked by barbed wire. Some I could not even find the spot to remove the wire when I even had the toolbox. Just curious as to if it is possible or maybe some experienced players can give me some advice.

Thanks,

Why not just jump over it?

I wouldnt reccomend trying to jump it, I did this once and all was fine for about two seconds then my legs broke and I died a few seconds later

I was inside, facing the door, no where for a sniper to get me.

Lesson learned, I now avoid barb wire like its a bad smell

Shall I add this to the 'Do's and Dont's of Day Z' thread?

You can't jump over barbed wire if it's placed properly, sadly.

If it bugs even slightly underground, it's no problem. But you're not supposed to be able to jump over it.

And to OP; You need to aim at the iron bars the wire stands on, to remove the wire.

I know it's still a bish to remove, and I agree that the area should be bigger.

If the wire is in a low doorway you can not vault over it. Otherwise you usually can. If you have a tool box just look at the middle of the middle post and select "Remove Wire" or something like that. Takes a few seconds.

+1 on the aim for the posts when removing it. I normally scroll w/ the mouse wheel until the option to remove shows up.

On a related note, when dismantling wire or tank traps, are they supposed to end up in your inventory or is it a random thing? I removed a bunch in Cherno (someone barb wired nearly every worthwhile loot spot in town) and never gained a wire kit.

Joemiken, I do not believe they are not supposed to be in your inventory as I have never gotten one.

To the rest that responded, thank you!! It has helped, but it is still hard to remove. Especially when they are in small doorways.

It is really easy to remove or vault (sometimes). The problem is that the people putting them are getting smarter (*shudder*) and are placing them so it's really hard to remove/bypass.

Rocket has already said the wire is just a test, expect changes soon.

The only issue I have had is when they're placed in front of doors at NW airfield barracks.

Yeah it's a pain to remove and it would be nice if it were easier but I guess it's kinda low on the list of priorities.
