Concrete Barricade

A heavy block to hide behind, locked to Level 2 for a mere 200 stones. Worth it for compound cover; early on the plain stone barricade does the job.

Overview

In-game description
A barricade made out of Stones.

It gives you something solid to crouch behind outside your walls. Rocks and trees never sit where you need them in a raid defence, and this does: you set it on the open ground of your compound, between the high walls and the house, and you have a peek spot that was not there yesterday.

The odd part is the price against the requirement. 200 stones is nothing by mid-wipe, yet the blueprint is locked behind a Level 2 workbench. Before that, the stone barricade costs half the stone and no bench at all, and the sandbag barricade stacks up into a pillbox if you want height.

Tip

Set two of them at an angle in front of the door you defend from, with a gap you can shoot through. You get cover from the field and from the gate at once, and a raider has to come around them to reach you.

Do not expect a wall. It covers your body, not your loot: a raid team simply walks around it, and keeping them out of the yard is still the job of a high external stone wall.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
