Barbed Wire needs to go, or be fixed at least

[seanmcloughlin7 17]

I got to the Airfield down south and one of the hangars had Barbed Wire in the front but a little gap between, not enough to run through but I managed to aim a vault right and get though it fairly handy. But I couldn't vault back out. I was stuck inside the hangar and my only option was to agro zeds and respawn

Yea It really ruins the game when some douche puts about 50 barbed wire in a barracks, or I have even seen every single building in electro blocked off by barbed wire. I agree, needs to be fixed or taken out.

Or make sure you have a toolbox before you trap yourself in a hanger?

Or fix the game so barbed don't come back when removed.

Yes, nothing is really broken with wire. What is broken is the ability to dupe it. If you have a toolbox you can just remove it. Or in the OP's case, switch servers briefly to walk out of the hangar then log back in.

there's a purpose, but it doesn't work since zombies just run/walk right through it like it's not there.

Toolboxes are really not that rare. And people complain how some wire can't be taken down, but usually the ones that can't can be jumped over...

And don't aim at the posts with you cursor when trying to take 'em down, that never works. I aim for the wire itself.

Exactly. Seems rather pointless otherwise and is only used to annoy other players.

This, duping is broken, not "insert item you see way too much of for it to make sense"

Wire is useful enough as it is, of course it needs to be fixed to stop zeds (like every other object in the game)

Have the ("scroll menu" ??) / primary secondary weapon choices thingy / Up already and it shows you "remove wire (CAT1)" (forget exact wording) in that list as an option, far faster / easier than getting that icon to show up in the middle of the screen. never had a problem with that working yet.

I pull down wire whenever I find it now.

I have never ever seen anyone use BW as a defensive tool. It won't keep away zombies - in fact it shouldn't keep away anything, I could walk through that shit ok but it should slow me down (and maybe injure me) and that's it. It's not an impenetrable wall.

Why didn't you just log out and log back in on a DIFFERENT server? ROFL
