Blocking off buildings with barbed wire

[mrcheapy 1]

Couldn't get into a barracks today because someone put barbed wire across the entrance...

Since I didn't have a e-tool I cried silently

[humbleuk 76]

what did u want a e tool for?

[homeslice1986 9]

Use a toolkit to cut the barbed wire.

I find it funny when I log in behind someones concertina wire and catch them chilling out thinking they're all safe and shit.

The best is the Balota tower. Capped quite a few lazy snipers that way.

You can use a toolbox to take them down. However it seems you need to target the metal legs that hold it up, and sometimes they are placed where these legs disappear into walls, making removal impossible.

Barbed wire needs to go away until zombies are kept out by it.

It doesn't keep them out? I've never even noticed this

Brick walls have no effect on zombies, did you really think flimsy wire would? THEY ARE IMMUNE TO EVERYTHING!! - oh, except bullets and drops.

They are weird, sometimes you can vault over them sometimes you cant, i think people have found ways to make them higher enough to not be vault-able but low enough to not prone under, also 2 barbed wires should not be allowed together, there should be a minimal space required.

Yea I see no reason why they should be there... hence why they are only used to grief ppl. Even with the toolbox the things are damn near impossible to remove due to a bugged hitbox. I don't even waste my time trying anymore.

I found a fairly well-constructed barbed-wire maze in an industrial warehouse once. It created a nice kill zone for preventing entry to the upper floors/catwalks, but again - the zeds couldn't have cared less.

Barbed wire is not a problem since you can always step up over it.

Errmm... not always.

I for one have seen some people put it to good use, using it to fortify locations and what not. If the hitbox was fixed it would still be useful for fortification, and take away the ability to place them in doorways making them impossible to remove.

And another question... where are the tank traps at? Did they get removed or are they just super rare now? I remember finding a few a while back but haven't seen any in weeks.

Saw a tank trap this weekend. Somewhat useless since it's actually way easier to remove thanks to the non-shit hitbox.

Look for the "step over" key.

If you can't do it from one direction try the other, usually works.

NOTHING makes me rage harder

[Latros 1]

Ive never been able to step over wire... never.. just me?

I also today at a factory saw that it was infact keeping the Zs out and causing them to run around it....

So it was working to some extent.

But lets face it only purpose its used for mainly is against other players, im fine with that but it sucks when they are long gone and you dont have a tool box/way to get in. I think it should be able to be removed with a timer/countdown select remove but it takes say 45seconds?
