Overview

In-game description
A protective barricade made out of Stones.

A hundred stones and you have cover. No bench, no rope, no frags. A fresh spawn can craft it from a few minutes at stone nodes, which makes it the barricade of the first hour.

The game asks nothing else of it either. It does not cut or slow anyone; its whole job is to stand between you and whoever is shooting. That sounds dull until you live in a 2x1 with one door, a guy with a bow sits in the treeline, and you have nowhere outside to stand while you craft. Put one between the door and the trees, and you can step out without eating an arrow.

Research is only 15 scrap, a good first blueprint if a teammate brings one home. Later, two others take over. The sandbag barricade stacks into a pillbox for a Level 1 bench and some cloth. The concrete barricade costs double the stone and waits for Level 2. The rest of the family is under Construction.

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.
