How do barricades work?
Any survivor with the Carpentry skill can start to build a barricade inside a building, or strengthen a barricade that already exists – any barricade at all will stop Vampires and Zombies from being able to enter the building, although they (or other Humans) are able to weaken the barricade by continually attacking it, which eventually destroys it. Building up a barricade past “Barricaded” means that other survivors can no longer enter the building. Those inside the building may still leave by the higher windows, by clicking on an adjacent block, but will not be able to return. Humans can also buy the Demolition skill, which allows them to take down barricades faster. See Barricades for more information on their construction and demolition. A Note on taking down barricades: Barricades have different rules than attacking enemies. Just because the assault rifle hits an enemy 50% of the time, doesn’t mean it would be good taking down a barricade. Think of what you would use in real life.
